Brilliant! I’ve been thinking about exactly this- how to build an interface that is useful that uses 3D cubes. I wanted to build a prototype using a pair of them that help one “reach decisions.” I would love to chat further with you…

[...] Explorer’s matrix filter has proven surprisingly stable and performant, but this demo appears to be pushing it to its limit. [...]

@Beat

Thanks for taking a look!

Excuse 1: The code got a little spaghetti-fied as I added some finishing touches; I wanted to untangle them before I released the code. Excuse 2: I haven’t had the bandwidth to come back to do so since I posted this.

Both excuses are pretty weak, I admit. I think the code is in only about 10 classes, and most of those are pretty simple Javascript overlays (in addition to all the library code, of course). Hopefully I can post something this week.

In the meantime, all the tools needed are committed to the library repository already. The gwtBox2d code is loaded in a Worker thread (just like the Rationals demo), and it sends little JSO messages back to the main thread with just an array of the positions and rotations of all the boxes. The main thread then uses the transform modules to position a bunch of divs with the transformations sent by the physics worker. When the user clicks or drags, the main thread sends a click or drag message to the worker, which executes a simple interaction method accordingly.

I know that that’s not terribly helpful, so, again, I’ll try to get the source posted soon.

It runs very good under the newest chrome.

I can not find the source code for this application. Is it open source? The only thing I found is the GWT-NS code but this sample is not there.

Cheers

Cool demos.

[...] Once again, I needed to write a simple demo for a module, something obvious in effect, intent, and execution. I’m usually terrible at these—hemming and hawing over details irrelevant to the point of a piece—so I gave myself two hours to come up with something and code it. I didn’t quite make it (there was some hemming and hawing), but it was close. [...]
