You have created a great Alice World (.a3p), and now you want to share it. Alice 3 provides you with tools to do that by exporting the world as a video and as code to print so others can view or recreate it. This tutorial will go through how to create these exports using a pre-made world called howTallAreYou.a3p. You can try this with any world! We recommend trying with interactive and non-interactive worlds.
