Server Setup and Progress on Particle System

Server Setup

This week I made considerable progress in setting up our Ubuntu web server. I created a single, dedicated instance using DigitalOcean and went through the basic server setup process. To accommodate our application, I installed Node.js and wrote a simple "hello world" application to prove it works.

Particle System Development

Another task this week was to prepare the basic data structure of two of the creation tools Kubus will offer. I focused on the particle system while Laith spent time on the animated typography tool.

Knowing there wasn't too much time available this week, the task I worked on was only to create the basic Three.js data required to create a particle system. Development on the effect will continue later. As it stands right now though, my particle system is well integrated into the Kubus application and can be added and removed from the Three.js scene just like the previous test objects I had been using.

Next, I'll be incorporating Laith's animated typography tool into the Kubus application and therefore the main project snapshot.
