Matrix: reboot

Remaking http://ncase.me/matrix/ with SVG and d3.js

This technical experiment currently lacks the finesse and wistfulness of the original. I'm most inspired by the genius (yet obvious in retrospect) technique of showing both the original point and the transformed point connected by a line. Even the idea to use a letter is brilliant to me: it is familiar and intuitive, it allows for discrete sampling without introducing other concepts like pixels.

My hope is that by going through the exercise of making it more data-driven I can expand on the concept to introduce things like rotation. Perhaps using d3 will also make the code more concise, but that's not certain as the original is relatively short.

I'm still working on porting all of the original interactions, but I'm quite pleased with the work in progress.

Map of 2014 Parliamentary Constituencies in India

This is a d3 map using topojson files derived from shapefiles from the datameet/maps repo.

Many thanks to authors of these awesome code samples.

Synopsis

At the top of the file there should be a short introduction and/ or overview that explains what the project is. This description should match descriptions added for package managers (Gemspec, package.json, etc.)

Code Example

Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.
