### 5`` World Operations

Every canvas comes with an associated world. A client program can set the world, start the world’s clock, stop the world’s clock, and deal with tick events (the clock ticks) and keyboard inputs (keyevents).

(( init-world viewport) v) → void?
viewport : viewport?
v : any/c

Sets the initial value of viewport’s world to v.

(( set-on-tick-event |  | viewport) |  |  |  |
|  | secs |  |  |  |
|  | update-callback) |  | → |  | void?

viewport : viewport?
secs : real?
update-callback : ( any/c . -> . any/c )

For viewport, sets update-callback to be invoked to transform the world value every secs seconds. Only one callback is installed at a time.

(( stop-tick viewport)) → void?
viewport : viewport?

Stops updating viewport’s world via a callback installed with set-on-tick-event.

(( set-on-key-event viewport) key-callback) → void?
viewport : viewport?
key-callback : ( any/c any/c . -> . any/c )

Sets key-callback as the function to call whenever a key event is received for viewport. The key-callback is given a key event and the current world, and it produces an updated world.
