A home theater layout tool in Purecript

I thought the name was a little weird so I followed the link and read, despite not being interested in home theatres especially, and it turns out I was right - Purecript is actually Purescript.

The name comes from the fact that Purescript is a purely functional programming language (ie. controlled side effects): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purely_functional_programming

As a joke, I've heard some call JavaScript "ImpureScript" :)

The 's' is missing from "Purescript" in the title, which makes it sound like a tomb.

Oh, I totally missed that typo!

I guess I've seen the full word enough that I matched on the shape of the word and ignored the actual letters.

Love how people make tools for niche purposes! Definitely will take a look and imagine I have a home theater

Actually, a Trapagon is better for home theater, according to this: http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_golden_trapagon.php

Unfortunately it has some pretty severe limits on where you can place the seating which makes it completely useless for my totally average setup (11x12' living room with tv on one wall and the couch on the back). Sure, it's not optimal for 5.1 because I can't place my speakers in a nice arc/circle, but it would be nice to know where my reflections are. Guess I'll just have to do the math myself...

man 2.5d pixel art reactive layout is so satisfying :)

kudos

Seems like the dimensions are in feet and should be marked with a single quote not a double quote.

Cool, but what about projector calculation?

I'm sure the author would appreciate pull requests that add that.
