Final answer:
The space where you build a program in Alice is called the editor window, where you can drag and drop commands to control an animation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area in the Alice programming environment where you edit or build the program to control an animation is called the editor window or workspace. In Alice, creating an animation involves dragging and dropping graphic tiles representing different commands or actions into the editor window to form a sequence of instructions. This drag-and-drop interface makes it easier to visualize the logic of the program, making it an engaging tool for teaching programming concepts. As you build the program, you have control over the spatial diagram of the animation which allows you to adjust the positions (Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax) to change your viewing window, similar to setting the viewing scale in graphing on a graphing calculator.
