Ball physics animation written in direct WebGL to celebrate the end of 2020.

• Uses hardware instancing with ANGLE_instanced_arrays for minimum draw calls
• Supports VAOs with OES_vertex_array_object to organise buffer and attributes state and reduce WebGL calls
• Post processing step using fullscreen quad for the metaball gooey effect
• Custom animation and physics written from scratch
