Due: October 4th, by 11:59 AM.
-For this assignment we will focus on client-side development using popular audio/graphics/visualization technologies. The goal of this assignment is to refine our JavaScript knowledge while exploring the multimedia capabilities of the browser.

-Baseline Requirements
----
-
-Your application is required to implement the following functionalities:
-
-- A server created using Express. This server can be as simple as needed.
-- A client-side interactive experience using at least one of the following web technologies frameworks.
- - [Three.js](https://threejs.org/): A library for 3D graphics / VR experiences
- - [D3.js](https://d3js.org): A library that is primarily used for interactive data visualizations
- - [Canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D raster drawing API included in all modern browsers
- - [SVG](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API): A 2D vector drawing framework that enables shapes to be defined via XML.
- - [Web Audio API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API): An API for audio synthesis, analysis, processing, and file playback.
-- A user interface for interaction with your project, which must expose at least four parameters for user control. [tweakpane](https://cocopon.github.io/tweakpane/) is highly recommended for this, but you can also use regular HTML `` tags (the `range` type is useful to create sliders). You might also explore interaction by tracking mouse movement via the `window.onmousemove` event handler in tandem with the `event.clientX` and `event.clientY` properties. Consider using the [Pointer Events API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_events) to ensure that that both mouse and touch events will both be supported in your app.
-- Your application should display basic documentation for the user interface when the application first loads.
-
-The interactive experience should possess a reasonable level of complexity. Some examples:
-### Three.js
-- A generative algorithm creates simple agents that move through a virtual world. Your interface controls the behavior / appearance of these agents.
-- A simple 3D game... you really want this to be a simple as possible or it will be outside the scope of this assignment.
-- An 3D audio visualization of a song of your choosing. User interaction should control aspects of the visualization.
-### Canvas
-- Implement a generative algorithm such as [Conway's Game of Life](https://bitstorm.org/gameoflife/) (or 1D cellular automata) and provide interactive controls. Note that the Game of Life has been created by 100s of people using
