BouncingBall.java

/*************************************************************************
 *  Compilation:  javac BouncingBall.java
 *  Execution:    java BouncingBall
 *  Dependencies: StdDraw.java
 *  Implementation of a 2-d bouncing ball in the box from (-1, -1) to (1, 1).
 *
 *  This code is already complete. You will make an object-oriented version
 *  of it as described in the next file.
 *  
 *  The version differs from the one in Booksite 1.5 in the initial position
 *  of the ball, and random factors for the velocity and radius.
