Shows simple use of tranform feedback.
Transforming is similar to rendering except that the output
or the shader is a buffer instead of a framebuffer/screen.
This examples shows a common ping-pong technique were we
transform a buffer with positions and velocities between
two buffers so we always work on the previous state.
* A list of N points are initialized with random positions and velocities
* A point of gravity is moving around on the screen affecting the points
Using transforms in this way makes us able to process
a system that is reacting to external forces in this way.
There are no predetermined paths and they system just lives on its own.
