Introduction to the Web interface

The web interface is a web-based interface with which a project in the Tygron Engine can be presented. It is a web page, built up using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, generated and served by the Tygron Engine. By default, data presented by the web interface includes the 3D world (although flattended into a 2D map), indicators present in the project, and the available overlays. Each stakeholder in a project has their own unique web interface available, similar to how they have their own perspectives in the 3D client.

Accessing the Web interface

To access the Web interface from the editor, go to: Template:Editor ribbon

Opening the web interface.

This will open the default browser on your computer, directed at the link https://engine.tygron.com/web/map.html?token=TOKEN (in which "TOKEN" is replaced with a proper authentication token.)
