Here is some feedback. I did not read the book, so please ignore whatever is meaningless.
Tested on (uname -a): Linux UX31A 3.8.0-23-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 20:22:58 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 13.04 Drracket starts, no problem. Games could run without major problem. Just some typos and minor comments: chapter2/source.rkt and chapter5/source.rkt : "you uessed it". -> "guessed" Chapter 5: guess game: quit with q does not close the frame (maybe normal?) and has the same behavior as =. ufo: The ufo "crashes" in the bottom of the frame. May be better if it "lands" properly? Check-syntax is activated, but does not handle non-pure text files, and thus displays an error message. Might be confusing for a beginner? Chapter 6: source.rkt: qiuckly -> quickly "BUG? << --" to be removed? Chapter 8: n does not start a new game Otherwise, looks like a lot of fun! I wish my teachers had used RoR for teaching us PLT Scheme ;) If anyone likes to play Dice of Doom, it has an improved version to which many hours of my PhD studentship got lost: http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/dice/dice.html Laurent On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 2:41 AM, Matthias Felleisen <[email protected]>wrote: > > A candidate release v5.3.5 is ready for testing at > > http://pre.racket-lang.org/5.3.5/ > > I have downloaded, installed, and played with the bundle on Mac OS X 10.8 > w/o a hitch. > > Could I ask for volunteers to check the bundle on Windows, older Macs, and > *nix boxes? > > Timeline: We'd like to release tomorrow or Tuesday. > > Thanks -- Matthias > > > > > > _________________________ > Racket Developers list: > http://lists.racket-lang.org/dev >
