Most of the tutorials I wrote on GUI various topics have a link to a Github Gist which has the full code which you can download and run in DrRacket directly. The link is usually provided at the end of each blog post -- some posts also require additional data files, and links to those files are provided too. Here is a link to those blog posts, but not all of them are tutorials, though: https://alex-hhh.github.io/tags/racket.html Alex. > > ( I come from graphics/physics background (imperative languages > C/C++,GLSL,OpenCL ... , high-performace), I have no previous experience > with any Lisp-family language nor other functional language ) > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
