[plt-scheme] HTDP Extended Exercise: Interactive Games

Matthias-

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. If draw-scene draws the AUP and
UFO and draws and clears the shot, what would clear-scene do? Would it need
to do anything with the shot, since draw-scene has already cleared it from
the canvas?
