Description

this project simulates a balloon run a little low on helium that no longer has a positive buoyancy but rather has a large electrostatic charge maybe due to previously rubbing it vigorously on your head or something else. anyways, you are now in the hall of your house, and you want to have some fun, feeling like a wizard or sorcerer that can control an orb "magically" and direct it as it floats through the air... Move your mouse to control your hand. each time that the balloon touches your hand (or glove), it looses some of its charge. press the green flag to rub it with wool or your head or something to get it to regain its charge! impossibly, this balloon never looses any of its buoyancy, at least not yet. later I might add some other objects that the balloon could be attracted to or repelled from, like a wall or ceiling or chair or even TV or maybe even a pet cat that walks through the room, or another balloon even. you can download and change it and remix it, it is encouraged kind of. If you like it press the love it button and comment some suggestions feedback or just say "hi" or "cool", etc. goodbye! happy Scratching!
