Jul 22, 2012 at 1:49 comment added alancalvitti I wouldn't want to develop the "magic" part of the code in JS- that's the point of my question. How to carve this problem at the joints: coding the core component MMA, and then transcoding it in JS? Possible?

Jul 21, 2012 at 21:43 comment added Jens If you've got code that runs well in Javascript on your browser, it would be crazy to port it to Mathematica and then try to run it in a browser using the CDF plugin - JS is ubiquitous and lightweight, whereas CDF is rare and heavyweight... If you did try to program this particular example in MMA, you'd need to emulate the proper blend mode using raster images, see this question
Jul 21, 2012 at 20:38 comment added alancalvitti All the above. Of those, translating JS --> MMA is easy except that JS is better suited for animation and event-handling. Suppose that the mathematical part of the code is written in MMA. What's the quickest way to render it in a web browser?
Jul 21, 2012 at 20:23 comment added Dr. belisarius Sorry, I don't quite understand what is your question. Is it about that sphere? About translating Mma into JS? About transferring files programatically?
