Pteraforming

Since yesterday’s post I learned a few things about the current fragility of running WebGL in your browser. Fortunately, the situation will only get better over time, but for now there are a few caveats:

  1. If your computer is more than a few years old, you are probably out of luck.
  2. You need your Safari or Firefox or Chrome browser to be up to date (Internet Explorer is apparently not an option).
  3. You need to enable WebGL for your browser. These instructions seem very well written.

It took only a few lines of HTML jockeying to make the Dragon planet code editable. Alas, shader code is not so easy to figure out, so this will probably only be fun for you if you are already a pretty good programmer.

But feel free to try your hand at making your very own Dragon planet!

Happy pteraforming!
