[Fluxus] Hi and where (and what) are the examples?

[Kassen]

Hey Stefan!

Nice to see you here too, welcome on board!

I don't know about OSX but on Ubuntu the examples should be in a directory
in your Fluxus download. If they didn't come with your install (maybe they
don't come with the package?) you could download the source archive that
also includes them.

What I tend to do when unsure about anything is switch to the repl (ctrl+0)
and type (help foo) where "foo" is the function I'd like to know about. The
nice thing is that this also helps if you forgot how to spell "foo" as
fluxus will give options if you only got it approximately right. The
explanations that this gives often also include examples you can run. Just
move the cursor up, highlight the code, then past to a empty editor screen.

Aside from the Fluxus help and manual I suggest bookmarking this;
http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/index.html

Yay! I found Fluxus to be very conductive to just starting and gradually
discovering what you are building. If you like join the "fluxus.scm" pool on
Flickr and post screenshots as you go along. This is fun for all and later
it'll be nice to see how you developed.

Yours,
Kas.
