i understand the fun thing... :-)

and i did not check the program with Guile but asked a Racket version of
the bouncing ball and it is full of errors even if i try to correct them by
hand...

Welcome to DrRacket, version 8.7 [cs].
Language: racket/gui, with debugging; memory limit: 8192 MB.
. . send: no such method
  method name: register-event-callback
  class name: canvas%


after i asked this question to chatGPT:

"Can you write a Guile Scheme program that put a logical expression in
minimal disjunctive normal form?"

i got a truncated program trying to code a QuineMcCluskey algorithm
implementation that i can not redisplay here because i got a connection
error to server and that looked like a bit,but from very very very far away
my own logic code in github that i spend many years to wrote,

and the Chat finished  like this:

"Hmm...something seems to have gone wrong. Maybe try me again in a little
bit"

:-)
