Scale back capstone lab

[vilmibm]

The capstone lab currently introduce a lot of useful concepts and is mostly well organized but unfortunately many of these concepts are not introduced by the ClojureBridge curriculum. My students were caught off guard by:

• ref
• absence of ! idiom for noting state-changing functions (this is a thing the curriculum hints at)
• for
• doseq
• dotimes
• dosync
• namespaces
• Dereferencing (@)
• Where to find images (snowflake, blue background)
• No explanation of q/smooth or changes in q/frame-rate
• Hard to tell what changed between each code sample
• The concept of refactoring

Thanks for filing this!

For record, https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum/issues/115 , is a related issue. But, this issue makes clear how we should incorporate quil into curriculum.

Hi @nathanielksmith , I finally updated main curriculum and snowflakes app.

• Deleted from snowflakes app ref, for, dosync, deref
• Added topics in main curriculum doseq, dotimes
• Where to find images There's a link in step 1-4, "put two images there" Do you think this helps? If you have other ideas, let me know.
• q/smooth, q/frame-rate The explanation about q/smooth was added in step 2-2 all q/frame-rates were deleted from snowflakes app. I changed the last swing part and now all examples work fine with the default frame-rate value
• Changes between each code samples I added comments what lines were changed or added in the code. It is markdown, so line number won't be added to the code :frowning: I hope this got better, but again, let me know if you have other ideas.

Given that, remaining topics are namespace and concept of refactoring. I'll think about how to do these.

Anyway, take a look. I appreciate your feedback.
