What did draw-scene and clear-scene do before? According to 2.3.2 (the 
pointer in 2.4.5),

So I'd say that draw-scene now draws and clears the shot, if it has 
been fired.

Hint: If the shot/f argument is false, no shot has been fired. Later 
you will see that it is -- as often -- easier to deal with the 
generalization of the problem, when you draw an entire list of shots 
per scene. Then, when no shot has been fired, you just get empty.
