... Chrome was giving me security errors when I loaded it locally.


Chrome 11.0.696.68 (0) seems to have some objections to the drag & drop functionality. Dragging a .mcr file onto the appropriate region on the page has Chrome download the file.


Try it again. There were some minor bugs causing the thing to asplode. Seems to be fixed with the latest pull request.

Also, you'll probably have to drop this thing on a virtual host. Local filesystem restrictions seem to break it also.


I'm using Chrome 12.0.742.53 and I have tried this both locally and through a webserver and all I am getting is loading.


OK, I figured it out. It was working but I needed to use the arrow keys and the mouse to move to find the right view. If you are too far away the land disappears.

Here is a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/SkYHs.jpg


any chance of getting a demo version up on a url?


it's client-side only. You can just clone the repo and open index.html in your browser


Demo anywhere?


yea on your computer ;). though screenshot(s) would be nice.
