One cause of confusion: world-after-button-down and world-after-button-up are under-specified in your purpose statements (i.e. "RETURNS:" comments): rather than "the world following a button-up event", which is vague and open to multiple interpretations, say what behavior you wish to observe (and then codify that behavior in your test cases). Get specific: what happens when the button is pressed while the cursor is in one ball? multiple balls? no balls?</div><div><br></div><div>This vagueness is in some of your other functions, too.</div><div><br></div><div>2.

Yes, it's your choice whether one circle moves or both.<br>
<br>
If this is related to a course, you need to design the program so that this mailing list can help you with where you're stuck.<br>
<br>
If you're trying to find a good GUI toolbox, then I'd recommend using the underlying one instead. The big-bang construct is used for teaching design.<br>
