Motion Sensor Alarm Clock Please Help?

Alright, so I am currently doing a group project for my research class which requires the use of a BASIC Stamp. We are attempting to build a motion-sensor alarm clock with the use of a passive motion sensor and a BASIC Stamp Super Carrier board. We have merely a week to finish this and we are beginners when it comes to coding something like this. What we want is; when the alarm clock goes off, the motion sensor will release a beam of light. The user will have to physically get out of bed and break the beam of light in order to turn the alarm off. Since we are beginners at coding, can anybody help us out with coding this? Thanks!

Also, how long do you think this project could take?

    Hello,

    There is currently a Digital Alarm Clock project in the Nuts & Volts February 2010 issue. The project page can be found at the link below. It wouldn't take much to have the alarm stop via some motion input. Currently it uses a button. I hope this helps. Take care.
