'glxgears' demo rewritten as an web app
This is a WebGL 1.0 port of the infamous demo 'glxgears'. Although glxgears now remains as a relic, some people still use it today on some occasion to show off their windowing system or driver implementation. As you might have guessed, glxgears should not be used as a benchmark tool. I started this as a small artistic project in the hopes that someone would put this on their blogs as a decorative widget.
OpenGL has gone through a lot for the last few decades. The way that OpenGL is used to implement glxgears got quite old. Therefore, it is important to stress that this project must not be regarded as a WebGL reference. There were many things to get around to implement glxgears with WebGL. The result should look the same whilst it is implemented not in the same way. I'm aware that there's a GLES2 port of Gears from which I could have easily port, but the gears do not look the same as good old glxgears in that version.
Visit github.io page that I uploaded on my github.io. Or you could clone the repo
and open index.html in your browser. Follow instructions there.
You can iframe the app, webglgears.html:
<iframe width='300' height='300' src="https://ashegoulding.github.io/webglgears/webglgears.html">
</iframe>
Or you could upload the entire project to your server.
