  1. 3 hours
    Create a prototype simulation. It should include the static scene and one or more of your own custom draggers. The draggers don't have to manipulate anything, but they should display their values as 2D text when you activate them.
  2. 2 hours
    Create a Help page on the Web. The Help page has several parts. One part describes the simulation and its parameters. One part describes how the draggers are used (include screen shots of your custom draggers). One part describes the static scene (include a screen shot). One part describes the command-line arguments. One part describes the menu options.

    Edit the README.txt to describe what you did. Link your hw11.tar.gz tarball from your Web page for this assignment.
    Put a copy of the README.txt in your notebook.
