cd Invitation-to-Another-Dimension

npm install

```

Now fire up your favorite web server. As you develop, you'll want to have `gulp` running to take care of browserifying

the JS and compiling the SASS. You may also want to change out `d3.min.js` for `d3.v3.js` in `js/main.js`.

Although an attempt has been made to keep the code reasonably nice, it's a side project. Each stage follows the same

module pattern: expose a function that sets up a small amount of initial state, various constants and functions, and

returns a function that calls `render(true)` (indicating the initial render). Any time state is mutated thereafter, the

code responsible should call `render()`. As such, the diagrams aren't constantly reanimating. (Except the last one,

which is built on Mathbox.)
