Started off as something else but now its a marble earth kind of thing. will be my star-raiders starbase
can do a lot more with the hemisphere rendering. If I have time can show gold ring, shadows and moons etc.. all cool stuff.
might make a solar system flyby once star-raiders is finished

I call this Random Normal as it effectively generates randomized unit vectors uniformly distributed.
Instead of using x = random(2)-1, y = random(2)-1, z = random(2)-1 then normalized.. which is rather poor in many reasons.
We compute the euler angles for theta and phi. It works on a nice property of arc-cos which is a uniform distribution of the 'y' axis just by using -1 to 1.
as you can see by the rotating sphere.. no polar bias. lovely.
Useful 2D geometry rendered to look 3D cylinders are useful to tie sysems and moels together

Simple Web Audio Implementation for emulating the atari pokey chip
version 0.1 Its early yet but got the pure tone frequency done. Noise next along with some game effects
version 0.2 after trying to emulate a 1.79mhz clock used as a RNG then turned into noise .. I ended up with a randomized buffer.
*note tonal was working as a port for pokey but the noise RNG is tough to emulator without using scriptnode in webaudio and thats a no-no as it hurts perf. so going for a hybrid system
