Playing around with AnimCube's JS port.

AnimCube JS Port

Check out the demo and source code to see how the applet works. Make sure to include animcube.nocache.js, AnimCube.cfg, and all [long alphanumeric string].cache.js in the same directories/folders as cube.html. DO NOT CHANGE THE NAMES OF THE NON-CFG FILES.

Next, in the HTML file where you want your cube to be displayed, create an iframe pointing to:

cube.html?config=[name of cfg file].cfg&[parameters]

The list of parameters can be found at the original Java Applet site with a few new additions here. Make sure to declare parameters as follows: [name]=[value], and separate parameter declarations with &.

You can add parameters in the .cfg file. Just note that URL parameters are prioritized over .cfg parameters, so if a parameter is declared in both the URL and the .cfg, then the URL parameter value will be read instead of the .cfg parameter value.

NOTE: The original Java applet was made by Josef Jelinek. The port was made by Michael Feather. Here are Feather's build instructions and unminified code. If you want to change the code, you should be using these resources to modify AnimCube.java before porting to Javascript, as opposed to editing the ported Javascript code directly.
