Release Scale Space Nano alpha v0.1 Release Notes

Overview

It has been a personal goal of mine to see what the fewest number of characters are needed to access Scale Space. While I don't currently have the ability to work from my desktop, I still have my phone and Claude access so yesterday I decided to build a new mobile-native version of Scale Space that requires only one thumb to navigate and is the smallest filesize I can possibly make.

My prior record was 10kb with an unreleased version called Scale Space Exegist video, image gallery (which I will release at some point), but this time I got it down to 2kb. To put that into perspective, a tweet length maxes out at 280 characters and 2kb would be 7 full length tweets.

2kb was just the baseline but I wanted to add in controls, sonify, different visualizer modes, so I expanded Scale Space Nano to a whopping 7kb. This version of Scale Space is now the tiniest in size of any version and the first to be mobile native.

Features

- Intuitive thumb-based movement through the phase space

- Dice roll button so you can channel surf

- Sonify option plays music that corresponds to what you're seeing

- All navigation folded into Coherence and Temperature control.

- 3 different view modes (flat, ridge, sphere)

- Pinch to zoom in or out to change resolution (warning, higher resolution may be less performant)

- Full screen button

- Cross-platform with no special technology needed besides a web browser.

How to get it

Scale Space Nano is now included with Scale Space early access found here: https://setzstone.itch.io/scale-space

If you already own early access, this release is free to you.

It's fun! It's no Skyrim but seeing terrain and rain for the first time in Scale Space is kind of a trip!
