Talking about CPU intensive. Just opening the page consumes 50% of my CPU. While drawing it reached 70%.

On my machine - firefox 21 running on linux - it completely obliterates my RAM and the machine starts swapping.

Edit: tried it with a separate profile with no extensions installed. Same story. Just drawing ten walls and letting it sit there not doing anything, it's actively leaking memory. Right now, with just that page open, the firefox process has RSIZE of 450MB and VSIZE of 1.4GB.

Edit²: tried with chrome Version 29.0.1521.3 dev. Same thing.

Spider web hoorah. Runs surprisingly well on my ~2003 processor in Ubuntu with Firefox 14. In comparison, Gmail with hangouts is slower than this display.

I was unfortunately not able to reproduce the double-slit experiment.

Piecewise, type-1, Wolter optics. From a useability perspective, I'd love the ability to either draw freehand lines, or splines. Also, a button / key to constantly keep the drawn lines visible would be nice. Amazingly cool little project though. http://zenphoton.com/#AAQAAkACAAEgdwEuACQA+wBdAPsA/wAAXQD7AK...

Not a laser, but I did make a parabolic reflector: http://zenphoton.com/#AAQAAkACAAEgfwAPAc4BCwHOATEA/wABygEQAd...

EDIT: this is broken. Here is fixed: http://zenphoton.com/#AAQAAkACAAEghQANAekBFwHqAS4A/wAB5wEbAf...
