Simplex is a simple language for designing 3d models. It was designed with a few key goals in mind:
- It uses a roughly lisp-like model of programming, where everything is based on functions that return values. It's designed around the idea of building things using functions that take 3d objects as arguments, and return them as results.
- It's strongly typed.
- It's internally extensible. (The original version of Simplex used a combination of JSCG and some ported code from demakein to do 3d modelling; the current version uses Manifold. It took 4 evenings of hacking to totally replace that internal framework.)
