This process was definitely a bit more challenging than the previous projects because I was thinking more about which lines of code was going to work rather than what I wanted my end product to look like. Something new that I played with is the implementation of 3-dimensional shapes and its movement along the mouse. I felt that toruses best represented the different angles that can be controlled by the mouse.
