Engi - webGL dataflow programming editor - open source

category: general [glöplog]
 
We've been working on this WebGL/HTML5 visual programming editor / engine for some years now, and finally it's released for everyone to use. It's open source with MIT license and there's an online demo.

This is the system I used to make the TPOLM demo at last year's Revision party. http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=61217

The main coder on this is Gaia/AP and kschzt/tpolm made the backend. Myself i've been testing and using it.

Source code & technical info:
https://github.com/engijs/engi

Quick introduction:

Online version:
http://engijs.org/

With the online version you can easily share stuff by just copy pasting the URL.

Check it out! We are happy to answer any questions :)

Just took a quick look, and this looks good :D

been watching fthr playing with this last year, and it definitely has a lot of potential. has a few limitations, but now being open source you can extend it at will.

been thinking of doing some websound api modules for it. maybe porting a softsynth. to be able to use the tool as both sound and visuals editor :) have to find the free time for it first though.

I get nothing but a black screen. Chrome 33.0.something, NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M.

@Preacher - your gfx card may be blacklisted by chrome. - check here: https://www.khronos.org/webgl/wiki/BlacklistsAndWhitelists

If that's the case you may try this:
On desktop devices (including Chrome OS) visit chrome://flags/ and look for "Override software rendering list" By enabling this, you instruct Chrome to ignore the blacklist and attempt to run no matter what. (You should also make sure that "Disable WebGL" isn't enabled, as that will block WebGL whether it's supported or not.)

Nice!

Thanks, now it works when I disabled the blacklist. Funny thing though, ShaderToy worked fine here before. Now I'm gonna play around a bit with this thing...

cant help but hearing Mick Jagger singing ANGIE in my brain now :P
Is there any way to delete nodes?!
added on the 2014-03-07 13:09:23 by raer raer
@raer hold shift and click on the nodes input/output

Black screen. Tested with firefox and chrome. Nvidia 9800 GT 1GB.

@mu6k interesting! on windows? does webGL content work for you in general? check http://doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com/ do you get any errors?
added on the 2014-03-07 15:01:45 by fthr fthr
driver and browser support for webgl is still so beta :(

Over here, using shift seems to sever the node connection, but not delete it.

Nice work!

Ah yes, by nodes you mean what I call "plugins". Anyway those are deleted holding shift and clicking on their header bar thingy.

Nice work!

Yep, webgl works fine. I write shaders on shadertoy.

@mu6k your problem is maybe solved now, please try again ;) Thanks a lot for reporting that! We think it was because your browser still requiring 'experimental-webgl' context request. But there's no reason we shouldn't support that, so it's now fixed.

This sounds very cool! I've looked a bit at dataflow programming in the past, but never gotten very far.

I get a black box in the upper right corner as well though (WebGL normally works fine for me).

This is what doesmybrowsersupportwebgl.com prints in case its useful:
