dsman Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Right now its single page application. In my opinion better option would be to have all the demo/examples open in separate page/tab. So that everyone can check the code of all feature specific demos very quickly easily. In my opinion that would be good on-boarding strategy to get prospect developers interested very quickly. Because babylon.js has always been about Simplicity and highlighting how simply a feature is implemented in babylon would be good thing to do. Another thing is people can share links of specific demo. #JustASuggestion #FeelFreeToDeleteThisThreadIfNotRelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davrous Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Hi, Thanks for your feedback. But our samples can be downloaded and reviewed on our github repo here: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Samples Our strategy is to help people quickly onboarding with our playground tool. Don't you think it's enough? Bye, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The playground is nice, but all the examples are lost in the forums, can not be easily found, you can not know what exists according to what you want. A search function of all that exists (made by users) would be interesting. Wingnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davrous Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It would imply that the creator of the sample describes clearly what the code is doing to be searchable. Creating a search engine is complex and would cost money to maintain. The Playground has been created to be help people learning and share with the community. And we're using it also in the tutorials of our documentation. But maybe we can find way to better optimize that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsman Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 What I was thinking was, when someone finds out about any framework/library , they come straight to its website. And normal all website has link to Example and Documentation in main navigation menu. We have link to documentation. Babylonjs.com have examples straightaway on the home page. That's even better. And Babylonjs.com has examples specific to features , that's great. But if the examples would open in new page (new tab), it would be very easy to just right click and view source and see how simply that feature is implemented in Babylon. This is how I thought. As doing this doesn't require much maintenance or development effort too, I guess. But anyway may be its just me who feel this way because when I jumped on babylon.js I was beginner and it took me to time to find out the code of the examples on home page and this might not be true for most prospect developers.

GameMonetize Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Perhaps adding a link to the samples repo then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Or even better, a link to the code in the repo on every demo in the homepage. So it would be easier to find associated code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Ok I did it Now you will find a github link on every feature test Even easier than scanning the code source in the browser ! Wingnut, pathogen, Dad72 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad72 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I can not find the link you talk DK on the demos of website. Where is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davrous Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's in the "FEATURES TESTS" section. You now have a "github" link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Ok, I see. PS: Le lien ne ce vois pas tres bien. faudrait par exemple le souligner ou le mettre d'une autre couleur pour attirer l'attention dessus. c’est juste une suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temechon Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's in the homepage, under the demo name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vousk-prod. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I agree with dsman, I'm always annoyed by website which don't provide the ability to open links in new tabs. In terms of design, I love the main page sliding to the left, but opening DEMOS in new tabs would be a usefull and practical improvement. BTW, the github link on the FEATURES TESTS is just a perfect addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
