You're trying to rotate, but the degrees have to be between 0 and 360 degrees. http://docs.racket-lang.org/teachpack/2htdpimage.html#%28def._%28%28lib._2htdp%2Fimage..rkt%29._rotate%29%29 Double check your calls to (rotate) and see that the angle is within those bounds. --- Internal comment: The error message appears to arise deep within htdp-lib/2htdp/private/image-more.rkt. Unfortunately, the contract check appears to be done at the private implementation end of things, rather than at the public function boundary, so the original questioner is not seeing as helpful of an error message as would be ideal... Actually, the contract might be wrong. It says that it has to be an angle: http://docs.racket-lang.org/teachpack/2htdpimage.html#%28def._%28%28lib._2htdp%2Fimage..rkt%29._angle~3f%29%29 but angles aren't restricted to 0-360, even though the internal implementation really needs it to be within those bounds, according to: http://git.racket-lang.org/plt/blob/HEAD:/pkgs/htdp-pkgs/htdp-lib/2htdp/private/image-more.rkt#l794 ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
