[CSC 415] CSC 415: Pendulum Project

[Andrew J. Pounds]

The example of how to do multiple windows was in my ancient tank game 
code on github

https://github.com/drlbs/trajectory

As far has how to plot the phase space diagram, just crate a 2D 
projection and convert theta and the derivative of theta into x-y 
coordinates using the standard equations (somthing like x=r cos(theta) , 
y = r sin(theta))
