Programming Language BSL

Due Date: Saturday February 11, 9pm

Purpose

The goal of this problem set is to study the design and processing of inductively defined, self-referential unions. We focus on lists for now. Soon you will see that the design recipe applies to all forms of self-referential data definitions. You must follow the design recipe in your solutions: graders will look for data definitions, contracts, purpose statements, examples/tests, and properly organized function definitions. For the latter, you must design templates. You do not need to include the templates with your homework, however. If you do, comment them out.

HtDP/2e Problems: 163, 164, 165, 166, 167

Problem 1 Suppose we have the following class of data:
(define-struct ball [x y color])
; Ball = (make-ball Number Number Color)
; Color is one of 'red, 'yellow, 'blue, etc.

Think of instances of ball as a Cartesian point, specifying where the ball is located, and the color of the ball.

  1. Provide a data definition for lists of Balls.

  2. Provide a template for processing such lists.

  3. Design the function lob-length, which counts how many Balls are on a given list of Balls.

  4. Design the function lob-xs, which extracts all the x coordinates from a list of Balls.

  5. Design the function lob-draw, which consumes a list of Balls and adds them to an empty scene of 300 x 300 as appropriately colored circles of radius 3.

  6. Design the function lob-visibles, which consumes a list of Balls and produces one that contains only those Balls from the given list that are within a 300 x 300 grid.

  7. Design lob-contains?. The function consumes a list of Balls, lob, and a Ball, b, and determines whether or not b occurs in lob.

Problem 2

The goal of this problem is to develop a component of a slide-show program such as PowerPoint or Keynote. The component displays a single, animated slide. That is, it starts with a plain background and adds phrases to the slide at the rate of one every second.

Here are the data definitions:
(define-struct txt [content x y])
; Txt = (make-txt String Number Number)
 
; LoTxt is one of:
; – empty
; – (cons Txt LoTxt)
 
(define-struct world [image hidden])
; World = (make-world Image LoTxt)
; intepretation:
;  The world's image represents the image that the audience can see.
;  The world's list of Txt represents the yet-to-be-revealed elements.

Create a world with an empty 400 x 400 canvas to which the program will add the following three phrases: "On your mark.", "Get set.", and "Go!", which the program will add one step at a time to the canvas. Make sure that a single change to your program changes the placements of all phrases on the slide.

Design the function display, which consumes a world and returns its current image.

Design the function next, which consumes a world and adds the next hidden Txt to the currently visible slide image. Use 20pt font and blue for the color of the text.

Optional: Make the program run and display the animated slide from above. Something like this might help...
(big-bang WORLD-0
             (on-tick next 1)
             (on-draw display))
