Original project Ball move on top of a curved surface z=a(x^2+y^2)

This is a simulation for a particle(ball) move on top of a curved surface with z=a (x2+y2).
The cyan arrow is the velocity for the particle and green arrow is the normal force.
You can change the viewing angle with mouse (click and drag).
