======

• node.js
• coffeescript
• some js libraries
  • from root directory, mkdir third_party
  • need three scripts in this directory. find the versions I'm using here

from root directory, coffee -m --compile --output lib/ src/

to watch for changes in source files, and compile automatically, coffee --watch -m --compile --output lib/ src/

a demo animation is located in test.html

unless you want to disable your browser's same-origin policy, then use the development web server in the server/ directory

from server/...

• npm install (this installs dependencies from package.json)
• node server.js (this starts the server on port 8888)

now you can view the animation at localhost:8888/test.html

everything is located in src/ directory

main renderer classes are in src/util.coffee. important classes are UTIL.geometry (3d geometry), UTIL.geometry_2d, and UTIL.renderer. you can see how these classes are used in UTIL/test.coffee.

class PERSON.person, from src/person.coffee is just an implementation of a 2d geometry, with predetermined vertices, and some built in methods for animating.

I'm using a js library called pixi.js to make it easier to create sprites and interface with webgl.

to see how everything is put together, check out src/test.coffee, which is an example of a full application built with this renderer.
