Visual Pinball for the Web

VPX-JS is only a library, so there must be something that runs it. This is it. Its current main purpose is to serve as a development tool. It doesn't do much but create a three.js scene and load VPX-JS when a VPX file is dragged onto it.

This is very much work in progress. You have been warned.

Usage

For the ambitious, you'll have to clone both repos. Some time in the future you'll find VPX-JS on NPM.

git clone https://github.com/vpdb/vpx-js.git
cd vpx-js
npm ci
npm run build
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/freezy/vpweb.git
cd vpweb
npm ci
npm start

Quirks

The dragged VPX is locally cached so you wouldn't need to re-drag it every time the page is reloaded. So it parses the VPX file on every page reload. This means that if you want to test a different file, you'll have to clear the application data and refresh the page.

Sometimes it might not work because VPX-JS changed the API on a new branch and that branch isn't merged yet. In this case look for the freshest branch on VPX-JS and use that one.
