Tetherball

One of my favorite memories of being a kid at summer camp was the intense competition around who was at the top of the tetherball chain. In this project, I set forth to recreate tetherball using a mouse press to hit the ball. Unfortunately, it was my first time attempting physics with threejs, and it didn't quite agree with me. I still have a lot to learn both about both numerical integration and navigating the mechanics of threejs. It isn't perfect, but there's a ball, and there's a tether. What more could you ask for, really?
