Description
Your task is to implement this in OpenGL using C/C++. Your code should produce the trajectory similar to the above. Feel free to use assumptions like the height from which the ball is thrown, velocity, condition when the bouncing will be stopped, etc. Your trajectory need not be exactly the same as what is shown in the figure, but you have to make sure that it looks relevant.
Bonus mark
If you can make the ball to squish into an ellipse when it hits the ground (considering the ball to be elastic), that will give you 3% bonus mark (will be adjusted either with this assignment, or with the final grade).
Weightage
This assignment carries 10% of the total mark.

What to submit?
Submit the program file(s) you have implemented. You must use OpenGL with C/C++ to implement the assignment. Put all the file(s) into a zip and submit in Moodle (no files will be accepted by email). Please do not submit any unnecessary files (such as the whole project).
Copying the code is a serious academic offence, which will be treated with zero tolerance. Remind that changing variable names and white spaces do not make your code unique, it’s very easy to detect these cases using softwares.
