Description

Write a Java Application. Your program can be anything you like, subject to the following requirements

You must incorporate a GUI built with JavaFX and SceneBuilder.
The program should be an interactive animation that makes use of the various Shape classes.
The GUI should have some persistent state that is modeled by a class of your own creation. The class should represent an abstraction of the underlying data representation.
The program may use other JavaFX components, but the main focus should be on the interactive animation.
The program need not be complex, but it should do something interesting that holds the attention of the user.

Feel free to use the Java 8 API as a reference for any piece of Java you might need.
