The bouncing ball is the "Hello World!" of the Educational MicroSims. It contains the key elements that shows the power of the width-responsive MicroSims graphics with movement and user interaction. When we design MicroSims, we also want clearly-visible user interface elements in the control area that can control the running of our simulations. This version contains a slider to control the speed of the ball's movement.
