Interactive Physics Animations Javascript Canvas 04

This time we won’t make the canvas any different visually, it’s more just cleaning up the code. We’re making the circle into a dot object, then later it will be easier to keep track of it (and any others). interactive physics animations via javascript & canvas | 04.
