Description

This test case contains two shapes in nested transforms, each nesting level containing
a TouchSensor, a PlaneSensor and a FlickSensor. It prints out the events that these six
sensor nodes generate.

The FlickBall test case demonstrates use of a FlickSensor.

Usage

• Open the console window if not open.
• Click on "Clear" in the console.
• Perform a flick on either the blue box (outer sensors), the
  green sphere (inner sensors) or anywhere else.
• Click into the console window, in order to put the focus away
  from the 3d window, or the console will continue outputting events.

Depending on where you flicked, the console contains something similar to one of
the following. The flick related messages are in bold.
