This is a placeholder
At the moment, you can just admire the WebGL-rendered Earth - which is only kilobytes in size, because it is generated algorithmically rather than with textures.
Zoom, scroll up to change the sun's position, scroll left to change the Earth's rotation, or click on countries to see their names.
Chapters will be added slowly, one at a time, after proof-reading.
Known bugs:
- Some countries/icons do not show their names when clicked on
- This is because I temporarily removed the content they were meant to link to - it will work when the content is returned.
- Clicking on 'Toggle View' twice causes something funny to happen
- I have already fixed this bug in my dev version. When I update this page it will probably be gone.
- The planet looks weird on mobile
- Yeah, I don't know why. It's maybe something to do with smartphones having lower floating point precision, causing slightly-negative numbers to appear, causing WebGL's frag shader to draw zeros instead.
