opengl demonstration involving rolling billiard balls, simple lighting, and fake shadows
- arrow keys rotate the camera
- + and - zoom in and out
- i,j,k,l moves the light along the plane of the floor & u,o moves it up and down
- n progresses to the next phase of the animation (it's good to wait until the previous phase has ended)
- when the balls are moving, keys 1,2,3,...,9,0 and a-e follow the numbered billiard balls, and key f follows the cue ball
- space will move the camera back to the default location
run 'make billiards' requires gcc, make, and GLEW, GLUT, opengl, libxmu, libxi, and linalglib (github.com/phil-shenk/linalglib)
