Snowman Activity: Making and Placing Shapes in Glowscript

Follow this link for the activity: link

You should see something that looks like this:

Try running the code, rotating the viewing window, and zooming in and out.

Try running the code after each of the following steps to observe the change that arises from adding/editing the code.

Line 27: Add code to update the position of the particle based on its velocity

particle.pos = particle.pos + particle.velocity*dt

Line 7: Edit the code to change the particle velocity to 4 in the x-direction particle.velocity = vector(4,0,0)

Line 10: Edit the code to change the particle acceleration to -1 in the x-direction.

Line 30: Add code to update the velocity of the particle based on its acceleration. Hint: Try to mimic line 27, but use “velocity” and “acceleration” instead of “pos” and “velocity”, respectively.

Line 22: Edit the code to get the particle to stop when its velocity is equal to 0 Hint: Make the while statement depend on particle.velocity.x
