	OpenGL 3-D simulation capable of predicting the rotation and position of
	SpiderBall, exactly what is likely to happen to it.

	Receives what *is* happening to SpiderBall - not only the positioning
	of the legs and their rotational speed, but also the rotational position
	of the shell (using Gyros) - and adjusts according to situation and
	user-control.
