Deadline: Finish before Monday, October 23. Turn in Tuesday, October 24.
Produce: One sequence of big-bang animations per group. (Groups of at most two.)
Goal: Animation projects should demonstrate the use of draw, tick, mouse, and key handlers.
Time: Spend approximately two hours on this project.
Making an animation is a way to study for Monday’s animation test. Think of your work as a way to study and become more familiar with animations.
We don’t have the technical skills to make animations that work exactly like you imagine. A compromise is to break your idea into several “scenes”, put each scene into a big-bang, and then manually close the window each time to advance to the next big-bang.

(see note).You should consider these inspirations:
Drawing: placing a moving object behind another object.
Motion: rotate, move by adding (above), move by subtracting (crop)
Placing more than one moving image on a screen.
Save all big images separately. Put the “bigImage.png” file in the same folder you have saved your Racket program. Load the picture like this:
(define background (bitmap "bigImage.png"))
Use the same method to keep transparency in images that you have found online.
