Alice [1][2] is a Python-based environment for creating animated, interactive 3D scenes, created by Randy Pausch and his students. They picked python intentionally for its simplicity at a time when it wasn't yet well known. [1] http://www.alice.org [2] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_(software)
