The step from simulations to interactive programs is relatively small. Roughly speaking, a simulation designates one function, create-image, as a handler for one kind of event: clock ticks. In addition to clock ticks, world programs can also deal with two other kinds of events: keyboard events and mouse events. A keyboard event is triggered when a computer user presses a key on the keyboard. Similarly, a mouse event is the movement of the mouse, a click on a mouse button, the crossing of a bound
