## Prototypes
### CAE1D Flasher
Find it in git with tag `rm-flasher`.
This prototype resided in `prototype/image-data`. It served to prove that there
was way to make JS rendering fast enough that we could rely solely on JS for
the rendering.
N.B: This uses the `ctx.putImageData` API.
The prototype has been deployed to [cae1d-flasher.now.sh](cae1d-flasher.now.sh).
It may or may not still be online today.
### GLSL Sandbox
Find it in git with tag `rm-glslsandbox`.
This prototype served to prove that the bare minimum communication between JS
and WebGL was possible and efficient enough to be used in the project.
The WebGL prototype was written on glslsandbox.com. It should be available as
specimen [#58247.4](http://glslsandbox.com/e#58247.4).
N.B: move your mouse around or nothing will be happen.
### Babylon
This prototype proved Babylon way too slow to be used as a rendering engine for
the project.
Find it in git with tag `rm-babylon`. (It's really boring though.)
## Other tags for deleted sources
The tag `rm-measure` was set before the removal of the `measure/` folder.
That folder contained some `.putImageData` related speed measures. It's not very
interesting.
