Phylum Search UI Recreation

This is a recreation of the 'phylum search mode' UI from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. This is where the crew are trying to figure out what that creature is the disruptive probe is trying to contact.

Here's the scene in question: https://streamable.com/eo15q6

This is a WIP that was mainly so I could learn how to use Svelte, but also because I just got a wild hair this weekend and wanted to see how far I could take it.

Uploading this unfinished version so I have it safe while I continue working on it. Hoping to get the entire sequence implemented,including audio. 😎

Enjoy!

Credits

• Code by me.
• Graphics sourced from all over the internet, as one does.
• Amazing "Whale Probe Data Analysis" audio by thatSFXGuy on YouTube without permission because this is just a fun personal project inspired BY this audio.
  • I did a little bit of processing on it to fit the project, so I encourage you to check out the original.
  • (And yeah, I probably should reach out to 'em at some point soon.)

The original svelte template README:

Looking for a shareable component template? Go here --> sveltejs/component-template

svelte app

This is a project template for Svelte apps. It lives at https://github.com/sveltejs/template.

To create a new project based on this template using degit:

npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
cd svelte-app

Note that you will need to have Node.js installed.

Get started

Install the dependencies...

cd svelte-app
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json:

"start": "sirv public --single"

Deploying to the web

With Vercel

Install vercel if you haven't already:

npm install -g vercel

Then, from within your project folder:

cd public
vercel deploy --name my-project

With surge

Install surge if you haven't already:

npm install -g surge

Then, from within your project folder:

npm run build
surge public my-project.surge.sh
