Along with the concepts of colors, we started the animations topic. In fact, an image is not animated if does not change somehow. To change an image, we use the function repeated which takes 3 inputs: a function, an image and a number. However, this function produces a list of images, not exactly an animation. Thus, we started to work with the big-bang function. As its name suggests, big-bang function creates something, in this case an animation. Even though this new command allows us to create something different and unique, as an animation; I did not like it at first because I had trouble initially understanding what it is asking me to do. Specifically, I was confused on the use of freeze which is a function that basically delete all the previous information of the element, in this case animation. What happens is that you delete all the previous information of an animation. In other words, you cannot come back to the original image. I understood that after performing by myself di

As mentioned in my other posts, one of my difficulties was trying to ask questions to the TAs, especially due to conflicts with my timetable and office hours. However, in order to present project one, I took substantial advantage of the office hours provided. Although there were many students seeking for help, the instructors and TAs managed to answer the variety of questions that students had. In addition to project help, I also asked about the Sierpinski images that had me confused last time. My confusion in those definitions lied on the use of recursion to form an image based on previous one. After talked with the TA about how you can use the function that you are defining, in the body of the definition; Sierpinski images made more sense to me. During that week, we moved from string lists to colors, which in my perspective is one of the more interesting topics in the course. In Dr.Racket color can be represented in two different ways: with a string, such as “black”, or with t
