tixyz
A minimalist three-dimensional coding environment. Control 8x8x8 dots with a single JavaScript function.

Let me be abundantly clear: This thing is wholly derivative, merely adding a third dimension to Martin Kleppe's creative code golfing tool tixy by mashing it up with David DeSandro's Zdog. Those two deserve any and all credit.
Development
Setup
Fairly typical for a modern JavaScript thing. If you're just starting out with that toolchain, first install a reasonably recent release of Node.js – it's almost certainly available through your package manager. Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/doersino/tixyz
$ cd tixyz
$ npm install
If you don't regularly work with Node.js, make sure ./node_modules/.bin/
is on your path:
export PATH="./node_modules/.bin:$PATH"
Workin' it
Open src/index.js
(or whatever file you want to work on) in your preferred text editor. Then execute:
$ npm run start
This will automatically build the project, fire up a basic web server, and ask your browser to navigate to it. Whenever you save any changes now, the project will be rebuilt and – like magic – your browser will refresh the page.
Build & Deploy
If you want to generate a static version, run the following command:
$ npm run build
To deploy it on GitHub Pages, execute:
$ npm run deploy
This will first revert the dist/
directory to a clean slate, then do npm run build
, and finally use the gh-pages
package to commit the now-current dist/
directory to the gh-pages
branch of this repository (it will create it if it doesn't already exist).
License
According to tixy's package.json
, it's licensed under the ISC License. I don't think the changes I've made to it are sufficient for licensing tixyz any differently.
