Due: October 9th, by 11:59 PM.

For this assignment we will focus on client-side development using popular audio/graphics/visualization technologies; the server requirements are minimal. The goal of this assignment is to refine our JavaScript knowledge while exploring the multimedia capabilities of the browser.

Baseline Requirements
---

Your application is required to implement the following functionalities:

- A server created using Express. This server can be as simple as needed.
- A client-side interactive experience using at least one of the following web technologies frameworks.
- [Three.js](https://threejs.org/): A library for 3D graphics / VR experiences
- [D3.js](https://d3js.org): A library that is primarily used for interactive data visualizations
- [Canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D raster drawing API included in all modern browsers
- [SVG](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D vector drawing framework that enables shapes to be defined via XML.
- [Web Audio API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API): An API for audio synthesis, analysis, processing, and file playback.
- A user interface for interaction with your project, which must expose at least six parameters for user control. [dat.gui](https://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/examples/gui/#1--Basic-Usage) is highly recommended for this. You might also explore interaction by tracking mouse movement via the `window.onmousemove` event handler in tandem with the `event.clientX` and `event.clientY` properties. Consider using the [Pointer Events API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_events) to ensure that that mouse and touch events will both be supported in your app.
- Your application should display basic documentation for the user interface when the application first loads. This documentation should be dismissable, however, users should be able to redisplay it via either a help buton (this could, for example, be inside a dat.gui interface) or via a keyboard shortcut (commonly the question mark).
- Your HTML and CSS should validate. There are options/plugins for most IDEs to check validation.

The interactive experience should possess a reasonable level of complexity. Some examples:
### Three.js
- A generative algorithm creates simple agents that move through a virtual world. Your interface controls the behavior / appearance of these agents.
- A simple 3D game
- An 3D audio visualization of a song of your choosing. User interaction should control aspects of the visualization.
### Canvas
- Implement a generative algorithm such as [Conway's Game of Life](https://bitstorm.org/gameoflife/) (or 1D cellular automata) and provide interactive controls. Note that the Game of Life has been created by 100s of people using <canvas>; we'll be checking to ensure that your implementation is not a copy of these.
- Design a 2D audio visualizer of a song of your choosing. User interaction should control visual aspects of the experience.
### Web Audio API
- Create a screen-based musical instrument using the Web Audio API. You can use projects such as [Interface.js](http://charlie-roberts.com/interface/) or [Nexus UI](https://nexus-js.github.io/ui/api/#Piano) to provide common musical interface elements, or use dat.GUI in combination with mouse/touch events (use the Pointer Events API). Your GUI should enable users to control aspects of sound synthesis.
### D3.js
- Create visualizations using the datasets found at [Awesome JSON Datasets](https://github.com/jdorfman/Awesome-JSON-Datasets). Experiment with providing different visualizations of the same data set, and providing users interactive control over visualization parameters and/or data filtering. Alternatively, create a single visualization with using one of the more complicated techniques shown at [d3js.org](d3js.org) and provide meaningful points of interaction for users.

Deliverables

Do the following to complete this assignment:

1. Implement your project with the above requirements.
3. Test your project to make sure that when someone goes to your main page on Glitch/Heroku/etc., it displays correctly.
4. Ensure that your project has the proper naming scheme `a4-firstname-lastname` so we can find it.
5. Fork this repository and modify the README to the specifications below. *NOTE: If you don't use Glitch for hosting (where we can see the files) then you must include all project files that you author in your repo for this assignment*.
6. Create and submit a Pull Request to the original repo. Name the pull request using the following template: `a4-firstname-lastname`.

Sample Readme (delete the above when you're ready to submit, and modify the below so with your links and descriptions)

## Your Web Application Title

your hosting link e.g. http://a4-charlieroberts.glitch.me
## 1 Player Chess

Include a very brief summary of your project here. Images are encouraged when needed, along with concise, high-level text. Be sure to include:

- the goal of the application
- challenges you faced in realizing the application
- the instructions you present in the website should be clear enough to use the application, but if you feel any need to provide additional instructions please do so here.
This is just Chess in 3d. You can only play alone, because the client code is already a nightmare, so using that with server would've been so much worse. Basically you can select a piece and move it to a square that would be correct in a normal chess game. The 3d files were from sketchfab and made by 'moyicat'. After they were imported the pieces are cloned, placed into the correct places and then based in the selections and inputs they are moved and deleted when necessary. I faced a lot of difficulty learning Three JS because it was my first time using it. Importing 3d images was also kind of hard, but once I got used to it, it wasn't too hard. Finding the material to change the color for black pieces from the clones of the imports was very difficult. But I did find them eventually. And lastly, making all the game logic for the chess pieces was hard and buggy. But eventually I finished that as well. The website is pretty intuitive if you know chess. Just click a piece and then type the square that you would want to move them to.
