2018-05-11

AC-011: - GoTo feature in the UI controls

  • Search by constellation codes: the view is centered on the typed constellation.
  • extra: view alignment with NS axis, depending on hemisphere.

2018-05-09

AC-010: - Load available themes and layers lists from static JSON instead of using hardcoded ones.

  • Removed last remaining enums in favor of string identifiers.

2018-05-04

AC-008:

  • Initial intention: define an "internal sphere" camera to allow better view projections. But: discovered and understood miscalculations in coordinates conversion between sky coordinates and XYZ. Corrected the issue and the world origin view projection became usable.

2018-05-03

AC-007: - Viewport UI controls support

  • camera control buttons allow to navigate in the view (N, E, S, W)

  • Static JSON asset contains constellation boundaries coordinates.
  • Constellation boundaries are rendered in the view.
  • Style changes in the view.

AC-003 - Render the constellation lines.

  • Static JSON asset contains constellation lines coordinates.
  • Constellation lines are rendered in the view.

2018-04-17

  • The project is now using Angular & TypeScript. I postponed the idea of plugging all the stuff recommended in the Pluralsight course. The primary objective is to render a simple POC before wrapping it in all other stuff.

  • ThreeJS is used as 3D rendering lib. A simple animation is implemented to check how it works with Angular & TypeScript. The dedicated branch is setup-threejs, it might be reused for other experiences as quick starter project.

  • AC-001: stub for a scrollable sky view. Wireframe of the sky sphere, with meridians and parallels. The viewport is in the center and the image is scrollable in all directions.

2018-04-15

  • Initial project set-up.
