<p><font face="serif">I am getting lots of questions about the
timing of the pendulum and how slow it is. Do not worry about
timing or synchronization, framerate, or any of that stuff
yet. As I have shown most of you, there are settings in the
graphics card that can drastically affect this. In the next
couple of weeks, and as we start working on our more realistic
pendula, I will show you how to do this timing properly based on
the physics.</font><br>

In this part of the exercise all you have to do is show that you can
control how fast the pendulum swings.<br>
