key events and mouse events are string: use key=? and mouse=?
stuff from Todd:
I'm not actually worried about me--I try to stay up to date, and I
teach three intro classes, so enough of my time is devoted to the HtDP
languages that I can stay on top of things. I'm worried about people
like Renee Ciezki in Arizona who pushes other teachers in her county
to use HtDP only to discover that the lessons she's given them to use
don't quite work anymore. At least she emails and asks what's going
on--I'm afraid other people just throw up their hands in frustration.
And it's not just that one change to go from world to universe--key
events became strings instead of symbols, for example, and there are a
number of other small changes. Having a checklist that explains how to
get from X to Y would make the transition less complicated.
Also, being unable to show previous student projects as examples is a
major downer. It's incredibly motivational to current students to see
what previous students have done. Porting five or six old projects to
the new version can eat up a couple of hours if you have to run them
and just correct errors. That's not horrible unless you don't have a
couple of hours to do it.
