I think I got what I wanted out the project - to play around with Racket.
I started the Jam thinking I would create a library for interfacing tiled maps with big-bang. I had never used tiled before, so I spent a day or so making some images and maps. I finally got to parsing the xml format of tiled maps and tilesets. However I was having a hard time with X-expressions, as I had never used them before either. So, finally I thought I'd give big-bang3d a shot. Also something I had never tried!
With work and kiddos and life I found myself with about 2 days of usable time.
I think its safe to say that I over estimated my time and abilities, which I'm sure is common for newer jammers.
For the next jam, I'll prepare a little more ahead of time. :)
Edit:
Some things I would like to find out for pict3d and racket:
