This three.js application uses an object of type THREE.Points to create a spherical cloud of points.
When the "Random Colors" checkbox is unchecked, all the points are yellow. When the box is checked, each point has its own randomly generated color.
The cloud can be animated. A "Spin" animation makes the points rotate about the y-axis. Each point rotates with its own random angular velocity. A "Drift" animation gives the points arbitrary random velocities, but points are not allowed to move too far out of the sphere.
The user controls the number of points and the size of each point. The size is given in pixels. Note that a point is rendered as a square.
The animations look nice with a lot of points of very small size!
