# wireframe-world

This demo draws an infinite, vaporwave-like world using the WebGL

framework [regl](https://github.com/mikolalysenko/regl). A link to the

demo is [here](http://erkaman.github.io/wireframe-world/www/demo.html). It should look

like the below:

## Implementation Details

As for the implementation, it is not very difficult stuff; I divide up

the world into chunks(just like in Minecraft), and as the camera

traverses the world, the chunks that become out of range are thrown

away and are no longer rendered. And in the far away horizon I keep adding

new chunks, to give the illusion that the world is infinite.

## Build

To run the demo locally on your computer, first change your directory to the directory of the project, then run

```bash

npm install

```

To then run the demo, do

```bash

npm start

```

## TODO

Port the program into screensavers for OS X, Windows and Linux.
