[racket] Can I get some feedback / a code review for some simple game code?

This is indeed exemplary. One thing I'd like to request in the README file is a description of the "game's" idea. As for inefficiencies, consider using zippers to lower the syntactic overhead; it may also help with allocation. -- Matthias

I’m pitifully incompetent when it comes to graphics programming and game development, but working with pict and big-bang in Typed Racket was stunningly easy. Thanks for making that all possible.
