<!--
Dear fellow amateur exophysicist,
I'm excited to see you embarking with me on our expedition towards new
frontiers. It takes courage to leave the comfort of the physics of your
home universe and explore the uncharted worlds of exophysics.
Along with this letter, you will find a complimentary explorer hat, an
exochemistry field manual, and a so-called "HTML file", a human-era magic
spell that will serve as your entrance portal.
This file is self-contained, will run as-is on any modern 2020's web
browser, and contains the following parts:
1. The HTML scaffolding
2. The "parameters" object, for tweaking basic settings
3. The vertex shader code that describes the laws of physics
4. The fragment shader code that specifies the color of each particle
5. The JavaScript code that takes care of the uninteresting WebGL plumbing
My personal advice is to start by tweaking the vertex shader, and get an
intuition for what it takes to maximize the beautiful emergent properties.
A few pointers:
- Website: https://exophysics.net/
- Code: https://github.com/exophysics/exophysics
- WebGL2 Tutorial: https://webgl2fundamentals.org/
- License: http://www.wtfpl.net/
Finally, I am legally obliged to inform you of the one law of exophysics:
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SHUT DOWN A SIMULATION IMMEDIATELY IF YOU FIND EVIDENCE
OF THE EMERGENCE OF SENTIENT CREATURES CAPABLE OF SUFFERING.
Your guide,
Q.
