+OpenGL-Cloth
+============
+
+A simple mesh cloth made with OpenGL
+
+Thanks to this tutorial: 
+http://gamedev.tutsplus.com/tutorials/implementation/simulate-fabric-and-ragdolls-with-simple-verlet-integration/
+
+Essentially, the links in the mesh are modelled as simple springs. When they get stretched too far, they break.
+
+Left click to grab points in the mesh, pulling too hard will break links.
+Left and right arrows can spin the camera.
+Space randomly flutters the mesh.
+ESC quits.
+
+Simple makefile included, so all you need to do is type "make".
+Requires OpenGL, GLU, and glfw (which probably requires a few things for it to work). 
+
+Feel free to use this code (although right now, it's kind of poorly organized...all in one big file).
+For any legal purposes, consider this Public Domain.
