Tennis

Tennis relies on the following parameterized features:

Extensions of the BaseFeature class to be specific to tennis courts.

The features are all parameterized by the basic characteristics of a tennis court. A user can manually specify their own court parameters in the TennisCourt class that will adjust the placement of these features, however the features themselves will be consistent across all tennis surfaces.
