Graphics Demo:  Fireworks Mania
-------------------------------
This is basically an interactive fireworks simulation, extended to become
a slightly more generalized particle system simulating spherical explosions 
originating from point sources.  

For this demo, i used the source code in assignment 1 as a starting point.
I programmed and compiled this program using Visual C++, and there may be
certain discrepancies in the execution of this demo depending on the
environment in which it it is compiled/run.

I had no one else working with me on this assignment. 

Notable features:
-----------------
- the data structures used for explosions make it easy to alter various
aspects of the explosion.
- explosions take into account factors such as:
	- gravity
	- the mass of each particle
	- air resistance
- particles can be any of the following:
	- points
	- triangles
	- cubes
	- rings
- high degree of interactivity; this demo makes extensive use of keyboard/
mouse input and visual feedback made possible by OpenGL's various callback
functions
- particles may bounce off a ground surface; moreover, the "ground" may
be toggled on or off as desired.
- general prettiness (*shrugs*)
