[racket-users] Are canvases stackable?

You want to use a pasteboard% for the chess table and snip% objects for the pieces. You can draw the board as the pasteboard background in the on-draw method. You will have to implement snip management in the pasteboard though because by default snips can just be dragged around and placed

[racket-users] Are canvases stackable?

Is it possible to stack two (or more) canvases on top of one another. I'm working on a chess app and I don't want to draw individual squares under each piece. I would prefer to have a board canvas that doesn't change and a transparent canvas with pieces overlaying it. Is that possible? Is that

Re: [racket-users] What are good references for implementing interpreters in Racket (or Scheme/LISP)?

You need to distinguish different types of implementations: 1. An interpreter is a function that consumes a representation of your (J) program and determines its value (and output, if any). 2. A compiler is a function that consumes a representation of your (J) program and produces a

[racket-users] What are good references for implementing interpreters in Racket (or Scheme/LISP)?

Hi, I am trying to write an interpreter for J in Racket as a hobby project. Would you guys know of good references on writing interpreters? Some nice things I found: - craftinginterpreters.com - beautifulracket.com - Racket J

The "Introduction" from the syntax/parse docs ( http://docs.racket-lang.org/syntax/stxparse-intro.html), is very good in the spirit of the Racket Guide and also explains why you want to use syntax/parse. Between that and the "Examples" section, I found I could handle many of the cases I wanted to
