  1. Download the kicktheclam starter below
  2. fix the script for the clam so the net force on the clam makes it move
    1. set the netforcex and netforcey
    2. set the change in velocityx and velocityy
  3. play with a friend to see if you can control the motion
  4. get the clam to stop in the circles
  5. Fix the net force arrow so it shows the combination of forces
  6. BONUS - add the force of gravity
