/* Illustrates how to create a simple world. The checkboard
   floor is created by CheckerFloor. The background, lighting,
   key controls, and initial user positioning is done here.

   Most of this will stay the same from one example to another.

   floatingSphere() shows how to create a coloured, shiny object
   which is affected by the lighting in the world.

   The scene graph display code is in WrapCheckers3D() and 
   createSceneGraph().
