Open http://localhost:5501/wave-machine or http://localhost:5501/minds-eye-is-full-of-flowers. Preset names are case-insensitive; replace spaces with hyphens (URL-encoded spaces also work). Loading a preset from the Presets menu updates the URL, and browser Back/Forward loads the corresponding preset.

Built-in presets work in any browser. Saved presets only work where they are stored in localStorage, on the same browser and origin (including port). Unknown names show a message and leave an empty scene.

Use this server for direct links and refreshes. An alternative host must serve index.html for preset paths; trailing slashes should redirect to the same path without the slash so relative assets load correctly.

For ball of life, enter cylinder height/radius, ball radius, and ground line length in centimetres. Point spacing is also in centimetres (10 means one point every 10 cm). A 1000 cm column at 10 cm spacing has 101 points including the base and top. Ground lines continue from the base without duplicating its point. If a length is not divisible by its spacing, the remaining end section is empty. Ball spacing follows each longitude from pole to pole along the surface; both poles are included, so the final gap may be shorter. Longitude lines remain a total count. Zoom changes only the view, not the physical dimensions or counts.
