This is a simple random walker that has a little twist that if the user clicks the mouse over the window it "blows" the walker away from the mouse pointer. Pressing the space bar will reset the walker back to the centre of the screen and pressing the esc key will close the application.

The user can user the number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 keys to change the force at which the walker is blown away from the mouse pointer. 1 is lowest force and 5 is highest.

test.cpp builds to TestWindowApp as a test to help me understand how ReWindow works.

main.cpp builds to ReWalkerApp which is the main random walker program.
