Scripting? #125

Closed jumpjack closed 8 months ago

jumpjack commented 8 months ago

Is it possible to script objects? I need to simulate a rotating and translating source of lilght.

A desmos-like variable/equation system has been proposed. See the discussion in #105.

In the current simulator, you may try to use the JavaScript console to access the global objs array. Call draw() to redraw the scene.

it's amazing that this tool exposes so many functions, but what about grouping them under one single collector, such as rayOptics, so developer can have a total list of them at a glance? rayOptics.add(), rayOptics.objs, ...

What I really like is that it works also locally and out of the box, please don't change this! :-)
