A new variant of Mama was built on top of Carnegie Mellon's Alice development environment, supporting scripting of the 3D stage objects.

This new variant of Mama was designed to help young students start programming by building 3D animations and games.

The first versions of Mama - 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 - provided simple integrated development environment (IDE) which contained support to standard elements such as text editor with syntax highlighting, compiler, debugger, output window, etc.

Starting at version 1.5, Mama was integrated with the open source Alice IDE to support drag and drop programming and 3D animating.

Mama 1.5 main improvements over Alice version 2.2: There are several parts in IDE window: at the top you'll find the main menu and the toolbar, which let you execute commands such as create/open a worlds, import 3D objects into the world, create a standalone application, export the animation to YouTube, etc.
