Warning: code is not at all guaranteed to be clean, in any sense of the word, and will only build (as is and as I know) on lab machines (unix).

Notes

• In first submission, there is a missing "break;" following the 'r' case in the switch statement so the lighting changes to show the normals. Press 'p' to change back to Phong shading or use the attached updated source
• In the updated source, there are two new hotkeys
• 'n' pauses the game
• 'N' unpauses the game
