[plt-scheme] htdp and modules

You can use the module language and restrict the internal of a module  
to Beginning Student (and friends) as follows:

(module foo (lib "htdp-beginner.ss" "lang")
   (require (lib "testing.ss" "htdp"))
   (require (lib "world.ss" "htdp"))

   (define-struct world (x))
   ;; World = (make-world Nat)

   ;; data example:
   (define world0 (make-world 10))

   ;; World -> Scene
   (define (world-image w)
     (place-image (circle 3 'solid 'red) (world-x w) 50 BACK))

   ;; Scene
   (define BACK (empty-scene 100 100))

   (check-expect (world-image world0)
                 (place-image (circle 3 'solid 'red) 10 50 BACK))
   (generate-report))

As of 37x, the teaching languages understand a limited form of  
require. (This is part of gearing up for HtDP/2e.)

At the prompt, you get the familiar constructor syntax:

Welcome to DrScheme, version 371.3-svn12nov2007 [3m].
Language: (module ...); memory limit: 128 megabytes.
 > world0
#(struct:world 10)

May I ask why you are not using HtDP this term? -- Matthias
