I've had difficulties setting up the animated examples. The spiral and stars example from github both return static images and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing?
I have a similar issue. With the spiral example I just get a blank screen. However, oddly, when I comment out the (clear) in redraw it works, although the frames stack on one another and quickly the canvas turns into a colored blob.
I am however able to get the animation working of the bouncing rect from the Youtube tutorial. It is not clear why the spiral does not work. Puzzling.
