Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The createSpinAnimation method is called from createStartScene to make the spinAnim variable available to the rest of the scene’s controlling code.”

A block of code is set as follows:

planets.forEach(p => {
    p.animations.push(spinAnim);
      scene.beginAnimation(p, 0, 60, true, BABYLON.Scalar.RandomRange(0.1, 3));
});

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

planets.forEach(p => {
        glowLayer.addExcludedMesh(p);
        p.animations.push(spinAnim);
        scene.beginAnimation(p, 0, 60, true, BABYLON.Scalar.RandomRange(0.1, 3));
    });

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

npx webpack –config webpack.common.js

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Clicking Run should now show a nifty-looking starfield in a skybox you can pan around.”
