Nova-bb, rcross don't work (Concrete abstractions)

DrRacket Installation and Setup (umn.edu)

Hello, I am trying to follow the intructions, DrRacket Installation and Setup (umn.edu) but seems it doesn’t work anyway. Here is what I should see after installation. DrRacket Installation and Setup (umn.edu) :


This is what I can see after Update:

Then I do everything as described – I think:

  • Download the following file to your desktop: quilting.scm. (If it displays in your browser as Racket source code, use the browser's Save As option to save it.)
  • Confirm that the language setting is still Racket.
  • Click File in DrRacket's menu bar and select New Tab to create two "Untitled" tabs in DrRacket.
  • Click File and select Open....
  • Select the quilting.scm file you just downloaded and click Open. The file will be opened in one of the tabs in the definitions pane of the DrRacket window.
  • Click Run.


As I type nova-bb, this happens:

Do you know where is the mistake please?

Save your "untitled 2" file as something like "my-program.rkt" in the same folder you put "quilting.scm".

Then try:

#lang racket 
(require "quilting.scm")

I was able to follow the instructions and here is a first attempt in developing a Spaceship:


I would like now to make e 2D videogame where the spaceship can move right and left. Is it possible to get a first help here?

The prologue of "How to Design Programs" ends in an animation of a rocket.

Excuse me.
I would like to open a Racket project from Desktop but everytime I am asked "how I would like to open it", "with which application". Is there a way to fix it?
Usually Windows displays "use this application always to open that kind of files" but in this case this option is missing.
Is it possible to fix that?

Windows associates each file type with an action.
In order to google how to change them, use the term "file association".

Try searcning either on Google or YouTube for:
