FYI, I've implemented most of the corrections suggested on this thread. I kept the many defs- I thought at first I'd rewrite this part of the code to use atoms instead, but then I realized that's also a suboptimal solution and would already require me to write in a bunch of Clojure-specific exposition, which is beyond the intent of this tutorial. Using defs, and changing the values of these global variables by re-deffing is definitely ugly, but it also is very simple.
As I mentioned, I hope I can create a proper Clojure tutorial sometime in the future with cleaner Clojure code.
