• Complete rebuild
• JavaScript split into nine small files
• Each file has its own unique namespace JavaScript parent object
  • The object name also appears in the file name and in the folder name
  • You can identify the source and location of declaration for every function and variable just by looking at its name
    • Reduces the hunting through files to find the source
• Progress in building a template system
  • Each file has its own parent HTML file for viewing and testing in isolation
  • Each file can load any menu it needs at load time
  • Each file can manipulate the Three.js scene, after the scene has been created
  • All scheduling and callback handling carried out by simple, easy to understand functions
• Support four separate camera protocols
  • World camera: camera fixed at position in the air, follows nothing
  • Track camera: camera fixed at position on ground, follows actor
  • Chase camera: camera fixed inside actor, follows a point just ahead of the actor
  • Inside camera: camera fixed a distance from actor, follows actor position and rotation
• Slight temporary reduction in some feature
  • Old and new features to be introduced in the next few days
• Paths are displayed in three ways
  • Magenta line is the original TCX route of ~3,000 way points - full of twists and turns
  • Green line is a reduction of the path down to 300 points - takes out all the minor twists
    • This 'simple' line is used to create the highly visible path that you see
  • Yellow line is a spline that passes through the 300 points of the green line
    • You select how many points in the spline - from 200 to 4000
    • This line is the path for the camera
    • The camera stops at each point this determining the speed of the camera
      • The more the points/stops, the slower the camera proceeds
    • The default of 9,000 points gives a fairly smooth ride along the path
