Happy Fun Ball (TM)

Happy Fun Ball was written in Turbo Pascal for Windows
THE BASICS
A ball bounces around the window frame, is pulled towards the
bottom by gravity, and is slowed by friction when it comes into contact
with any of the window borders. It can also be pulled around by clicking
the mouse inside the window border. The force of the pull increases as the
mouse gets farther from the ball.
WHY?
Bounce was written as part of the process of learning Windows
programming and the TPW language specifically. It demonstrates
certain basic concepts including the use of menus, icons, dialogue
boxes, timers and the display of graphics.
THE MENU OPTIONS

or Reverse gravity
Friction - choose between weak, medium, and strong friction
Sound - Turn sound on and off
Default - sets gravity and friction to weak.
THE FUTURE
The information in this file will eventually be incorporated
into a help system. Also the various settings will eventually be
manipulatable in a Dialogue box rather than in the menu. Bitmaps
may eventually be used for the ball, so one could select between
a baseball, basketball, etc. It may even turn into a game one day.
