Encom Boardroom

An HTML5 recreation of the Boardroom
Scene
in Disney's Tron:
Legacy
. It currently displays realtime
data from GitHub and Wikipedia to make it a bit more fun. View it in action at

While I attempted to stay true to the film, it simply wasn't practical to
recreate every element that is portrayed in the scene. The graphics displayed
in the film contain a remarkable amount of detail despite only being visible
for a couple of seconds. I am in awe of those that put it together.

My focus was on the globe and I made it available as a standalone
library
for those interested. The other
elements are only loose adaptations of the film version. This project is not
associated with GitHub, Wikipedia, Tron: Legacy, or Disney. It is just a
tribute.

Usage

The web application can be launched simply by serving up ./index.html. If
you would like the full application, including the feeds from Wikipedia and
GitHub, install and run the node application as follows:

npm install
PORT=8000 node stream-server.js

Then point your browser at http://localhost:8000.

The code isn't particularly well organized right now to quickly add in new
feeds, but it certainly is possible. I did split out the globe into its own
standalone library that can be easily
reused though.

Notable Dependencies
