WebGL TweetTank Built with C3DL Part 2

http://i-create.org/2010/04/26/webgl-tweettank-built-with-c3dl-part-2/

I have added the ability to search twitter and re-populate the fish tank. So now you can place a search in like “Tool” or “Toledo” or whatever you query it will pull results from twitter. I have noticed this experiment is resource intensive. In part three of this experiment I will look for ways to tidy up the code make it more reusable and less resource intensive. I also noticed in c3dl they already have a nice Secena is also working on this library I believe they have ported most of the new functions. I also added two sliders with jQuery to control the camera I am currently using an orbitCamera I think I will change this in the future to utilize a free camera and use the animateAxis function to animate around a vector with an angle. Currently I am using the Yaw and Pitch functions of the orbitCamera of course it looks kind of awkward to spin it. I will try to find ways to speed this experiment up, fix the picking result to be more sensitive, clean up the look and feel of it for part three. If there is a part four it will be about making the fish bound to the sphere and maybe making them so the swim back and forth not in a straight line. I might also be making a similar experiment with Sandy3D experiments on Google Experiments. Launch Experiment /
