Hello. This is an issue with the headless-gl package. I've made it an optional dependency, so, if you only want to use WebMonkeys on the browser, please try again and it might work. Otherwise, you should probably open an issue there.

[goldenratio]

Thanks for the reply.
I tried again.. npm install was success but got warnings because of headless-gl.
Since it is a node module - I used browserify to run on browser - got some errors.

I think it will be easier if you have dist or bin folder and distribute the final js files (browser and headless)

[VictorTaelin]

I think it is a good idea, also add a "script" to package.json and browserify as yet another optional dep. I don't have the time now, but I'd accept a pr.

[davidmarkclements]

just a note - you can keep the module as one package (my preference) and solve this by using require('g' + 'l') in code - this stops browserify from seeing the require

[davidmarkclements]

also @goldenratio you're going to hit that problem for any C dependency - on Windows you have to setup your machine to compile C code (for native modules)

It seems we have simple API to do awesome stuff in GPU.
But setting it up needs million dependencies :)

I am looking for something like this.. :D

<script src="webmonkeys.js"></script>
<script>
var monkeys = new WebMonkeys();

// Sends an array of numbers to the GPU
monkeys.set("nums", [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]);

// Employs 16 monkeys to work in parallel on the task of squaring each number
monkeys.work(16, "nums(i) := nums(i) * nums(i);");

// Receives the result back
console.log(monkeys.get("nums"));

</script>

[VictorTaelin]

@goldenratio that should work now. Just add <script src="webmonkeys.js"></script> (you can minify it if you want) and call var monkeys = new WebMonkeys();.

[goldenratio]

Thanks! works now.
sorry for the trouble :)
