Key Bindings

Q and E - Rotation WASD - Movement of the ball when NOVINT is not defined Space - Resets the shape of the brush. Useful for when it decides to invert

Changing Brush Color

1. Press 'R', 'G', or 'B' on the keyboard
2. Enter a value between 0 and 255
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as desired
4. Hit left shift

Example: r 100 g 200 b 75 LSHIFT

"Quirks"

-The Novint Falcon and our physics code really do not interact well. Unless you maneuver it just right, the Falcon tends to kick after prolonged contact with a shape. -Sometimes weird areas of the target shape are colored. This is infrequent and likely caused by the ray test performed to get the contact triangle.
