A simple project to provide starter code for text visualization in D3.js or P5.js.
There is one optional npm package you can use to host this site locally.
Running:
npm install
Should install the http-server node module locally.
Then the local server can be started using:
npm start
Which simply runs the server in this directory.
If you have your own local server solution (like python's simple http server), feel free to use that!
The d3.js example is accessed by viewing index.html
It is implemented in src/main.js.
We use the D3 Pack Layout to make an odd "text splatter" out of the words in Alice in Wonderland - which is stored in data/alice.txt.
The p5.js example is accessed by viewing index-p5.html
It is implemented in src/main-p5.js.
We simply display lines from Alice in Wonderland randomly on the screen. The lines slowly move down off the screen. When a line goes away, two more take its place, eventually turning into a snow of text (and probably will crash your browser ;) ).
