What’s JAX ✤ JAX is a development framework ✤ for JavaScript-driven WebGL applications ✤ JAX has MVC architecture ✤ JAX lives with RoR source tree ✤ app/assets/jax/{controllers,models,views,etc.} 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

What’s WebGL ✤ WebGL(Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API ✤ for rendering 3D/2D graphics within any compatible Web browser ✤ for more info. ✤ http://www.khronos.org/webgl/ 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Hands on! 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Initialize Gemfile: gem ’jax’, ’>=2.0’ % bundle % rails generate jax:install or % gem install jax % jax new demo 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Generate % jax generate scaffold teapot % jax generate light sun directional % jax generate light candle point 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Code (Controller) app/assets/jax/controllers/ teapot_controller.js.coffee @world.addObject Teapot.find "actual" @world.addLightSource "sun" @world.addLightSource "candle" 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Code (Model) app/assets/jax/models/ teapot.js.coffee after_initialize: -> @mesh = new Jax.Mesh.Teapot size: this.size material: "teapot" update: () -> @camera.rotate 0.05, [0,1,0] 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Code (teapot’s resources) app/assets/jax/resources/teapots/ actual.resource size: 1.0 position: x: 0 y: 0 z: -5 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ Code (candle’s resources) app/assets/jax/resources/light_sources/ candle.resource position: x: -1.2 y: -1.2 z: -4.0 color: ambient: red: 1.0 green: 0.2 blue: 0.2 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ run % jax server (access localhost:3000 with browser) 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔ 

Teatime ✤ You can see, Pink Rotation Teapot :) 12೥8݄19೔೔༵೔
