My application generates spheres on the screen when the user clicks the left mouse button within the scene. The user can manipulate the scene using both the left mouse button and on-screen UI buttons to adjust the spawned spheres. Additionally, certain keyboard buttons allow the user to trigger specific animations for the spheres. Additional features that I have implemented include a gravity toggle box, that reverses the movement of objects upon clicking, a stopwatch which shows the game duration upon starting, and a slider to change light intensity, contributing to enhanced visuals and further gameplay effects. These features were created to elevate the user experience and depth of the application's overall functionality.

There are a total of 12 features. There were many mistakes in project 1 and 2 and none of my features were working. I took the feedback of the professor and decided to start from scratch. For project 3, I completely changed my idea and project route, using different features and lines of code. I remade my game starting from project 3, but also met the feature requirements from project 1 and 2.
