Simulating the Melting of Ice Caps
This is an adaptation of the Simulating the Melting of Ice Caps application by Maëlle Nodet (University Grenoble Alpes) and Jocelyne Erhel (Inria) for use in IMAGINARY exhibitions.
Limitations
IMPORTANT:
Currently this app only supports 16:9 screens (e.g. 1920x1080) and nearby aspect ratios. Layout will break at other aspect ratios and small resolutions. Hopefully they will be eventually supported.
Installation
Run
./download_video.sh
To download the video files and create a local copy. Afterwards you can configure the cfg/config.yml file to use the local copy.
Configuration
Configure the system by editing the cfg/config.yml file. There are important settings for running the exhibit in kiosk mode.
The configuration file is fully commented.
Compilation
This app is built using several compilable languages:
- The HTML pages are built from pug template files.
- The CSS stylesheet is pre-compiled from sass files.
- The JS scripts are trans-compiled from es6 (ES2015) files.
To make any modifications re-compilation is necessary. You should install:
- node and npm
- yarn
- gulp (install globally)
Afterwards run the following in the command line:
yarn
After it runs succesfuly you can compile as needed:
-
sass (stylesheets)
gulp sass -
