Gradient Descent as a suitcase exhibit for NWA Science Communication.

Usage

Open the index.html or the index-idle-reload.html file in the dist directory with a web browser.

The index-idle-reload.html file includes an idle reload feature that refreshes the exhibit after a period of inactivity. It has the following URL parameters:

• idleTimeout (number, default: 300): Time of inactivity in seconds before the idle reload is triggered.
• ignoreButton: Gamepad button index to ignore for idle detection (default: none). Can be used multiple times.

Building

Requires Node.js (v18.19 or greater) and npm.

Run the following from the root directory of the project:

npm install
npm run build

This will create a dist directory with the compiled exhibit. This directory can be served by any web server.
