Spoiler alert:

I don’t think this one is really a meaningful word.

It’s a small bird. But you didn’t play Rackedle words!

This one was shared earlier by an avid player :slightly_smiling_face: https://racket.slack.com/archives/C06V96CLD/p1644156814969069?thread_ts=1644156814.969069&cid=C06V96CLD\|https://racket.slack.com/archives/C06V96CLD/p1644156814969069?thread_ts=1644156814.969069&cid=C06V96CLD

Oh, sorry for the duplication…

Hmm… Robin from Batman and Robin also has a red chest.

So the question is: why did you play this as second guess if you didn’t know it was even a word? :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah it’s a gamble for sure. Looking forward to observing how it plays out

after RAISE, I want to try a word with O and N, with R as the first character. Robin is the first word that comes to my mind, so I tried it, expecting that it will get rejected for not being in the dictionary. But it’s green….

ROUND might have been better?

Plus it’s a Rackedle word!

it needs an I. I’m playing the hard mode

Aha, right

ROIND?:yum:

Thanks to wordle, now I have learned robin is a bird.

A wordle a day keeps the dictionary away

List suffices anyway. Who needs dictionary.

I have a puzzle - well a bug somewhere.

In Sketching all drawing operations draws to the current drawing context, which is stored in a parameter current-dc.

So (stroke "yellow") (line 0 0 100 100) draws a yellow line to the current drawing context.

In order to draw somewhere else, one can use parameterize . But I seem to have broken parameterize somehow?!

Currently this test: (define old-dc (current-dc)) (parameterize ([current-dc screen-dc]) 1) (stroke "yellow") (line 0 0 100 100) draws the yellow line to screen-dc rather than to “old-dc”.

This test: (define old-dc (current-dc)) (parameterize ([current-dc screen-dc]) 1) (current-dc old-dc) (stroke "yellow") (line 0 0 100 100) works as expected.

Any ideas wrt what I have to look for?

Complete example: #lang sketching (require racket/set racket/list (only-in racket/gui bitmap% bitmap-dc%) (only-in sketching/parameters current-dc)) (define screen-bm (make-object bitmap% 200 200)) (define screen-dc (new bitmap-dc% [bitmap screen-bm])) (define (setup) (background 0)) (define (draw) (define old-dc (current-dc)) (parameterize ([current-dc screen-dc]) 1) ; (current-dc old-dc) ; works as expected if this is uncommented (stroke "red") (line 0 0 100 100)) ; evaluate screen-bm in the repl to see the bitmap

I found the problem.

Since current-dc is accessed frequently, I did the following:

(define dc #f) (define current-dc (make-parameter #f (λ (x) (set! dc x) x))) But parameterize doesn’t call the guard when it reinstates the previous value. So I just need to set dc to fix my problem. (And hide it in a with-dc ).

that’s one way to break parameters indeed :slightly_smiling_face:

I simply forgot I had made that optimization. I knew at the time there were a potential problem and even made a comment :slightly_smiling_face: Ah well, the next time I do something similar, I’ll make a with-dc at once.

Here is a challenge for the Wordle fans:

:joy:

Oh wow, I did not know that’s how Wordle handled multiple letters !! I had a “todo” item to make use of info relating to multiple letters, but then I deleted it because I didn’t think Wordle gave away that info.

It’s my son’s name and I didn’t get it until the 4th answer :disappointed:
