How to make it better?\n Specify a *total strength* (a magnitude) of the force;\n and an *angle* (a direction) at which it applies.\n\n The main advantage of this approach, for our purposes, is that we can then *change* that angle over time.\n Why is that so great? \n If we want to program *orbits* we will need to constantly adjust the angle of the force of gravity in space.\n The gravity-force-vector of the Earth orbiting the Sun always points towards the Sun as the Earth flies in an ellipse: the angle is always changing.\n \n So let's do it. We will inject our old simulation with more sophisticated math, looking ahead to the curvy, elliptical motion of the planets.\n*/\n\n\n// Most of this setup code is pulled from last week; feel free to speed through.\nlet balls = [];\nlet clouds = [];\n\nlet selectedBall = null; // This will keep track of which ball has been clicked last.\nlet currentHue = 280; // For colors, as we add new balls\n\n// HTML-related stuff for the Stats Panel.\nlet statsDiv;\nlet centerBall0Checkbox;\n\nlet playPauseButton;\nlet isPaused = false;\nlet isDragging = false;\n// More HTML-related stuff...\nlet forceXInput, forceYInput, framesInput, createForceButton;\nlet isForceEquipped = false;\nlet forceVector = null;\nlet forceFrames = 0;\n\nlet groundHeight = 500; // How high the ground level will be, measured from the *top* of the canvas in pixels.\n\n// For coordinates\nlet yOffset;\nlet xOffset;\n\n\n//////// #MAIN FUNCTIONS/////////\nfunction setup() {\n //Adjust frameRate to speed up or slow down the simulation.
