ComicCollector

Overview

The Comic Collector is a tool that will download recent comic strips from your favorite web comics.

Concepts Demonstrated

• Data abstraction is used to provide access to the elements of each list of comic strip data.
• The hash table that keeps track of recent comics is closed.
• Higher-order procedures and tail-recursion are used throughout the project.
• Lambda functions are also common.

External Technology

My project interfaces with an external .csv reader library and Scheme's url functions.

Innovation

Rather than viewing images from the comic strips online, this project downloads them locally. It also only downloads images that it has not yet downloaded, keeping track of the most recent ones through a .csv file.

Additional Remarks

It is my intent to complete this project with a simple web page to view the downloaded images all at once.
