Overview

This program was intended to create computer-generated designs of user-specified input and display it using simple and user-friendly functional languages.

Concepts Demonstrated

• The use and vitality of the Lambda functions was exposed and inherent throughout the program.
• The special property of closure of functional programming was evident.
• Recursion was the key for producing certain design patterns.

External Technology

I used the form-filling GUI programs such as database query window using buttons etc.. from

 scheme GUI Graphics Toolkit from the Scheme library for user-interaction and display options.

Using this also helped me overcome the drawback of B/W display.

Another package PLANET provided the necessary design patterns (the picture language).

Innovation

Wanted to show how functional programming is easy to handle and at the same time 'functional' in its literal sense although it is considered outdated.
