Part 1.

I created a dog with a cylinder as its body a sphere as its head, two 
cones as its ears and 2 boxes as its legs. I then made this all into a
frame using the exaple from the Visual Python reference manual. I then
inserted this frame into the bounce2.py program and removed all of the
other objects from it. I then played around with the side variable to
get the dog bouncing correctly off the walls. I did not need to resize
the box as i made the dog small enough. I got the dog to rotate using 
the same rotation code from bounce2.py

I then saved the program as bounceObject.py

Part 2.

I added a key listener into the infinite loop to listen for 's' and 'f'
to speed up and slow down the motion accordingly, when the key listner
detects that one of those keys are pressed it increments or decrements 
the rate accordinly and also prints a message of what it is doing. The
following code was used for the key listner:

  #check for a key press
  if scene.kb.keys:
      key = scene.kb.getkey()
      if key == 'f': #if f has been pressed
          print "speeding up"
          loopRate = loopRate + 10
      elif key == 's': #if s has been pressed
          if loopRate > 19:
              loopRate = loopRate - 10
              print "slowing down"

I learnt how to use the key listner from the Visual Python refernece
Manual.

Once I completed the function I saved it as bounceObjectKey.py
