 Simple, yet cool

 Hmm, not sure what this is supposed to do?  I ran it and saw a white ball, not too dissimilar to a white cue ball. So I removed the 'glow' effect and saw the same white cue ball.Have I missed something here?  By removing all of the code lines that contain the world 'glow', I see the same result.Hope I didn't break it.
