III Guide🔗ℹ

Start with the Quick Start and saving a video. Then choose a route. Within a route, each lesson introduces what the next example needs. You do not need to read the slide lessons to make a native 2D animation.

Know ordinary Racket already? The slide route starts at Make a slide and give it time. It uses a Pict for a still picture and a Scene for a timed animation, as explained in Quick Start: a moving circle. Recipes are independent tasks, not prerequisites.

The 3D route begins at Make a first 3D picture. Its first two chapters need only the Quick Start. The third combines 3D with text and, optionally, the slide and embedded-content tools introduced above.

The Concepts part is a place to look up an idea, not required reading before any code. The Cookbook has independent tasks; Reference has the contracts.
