N-body system
=============

An [AssemblyScript](http://assemblyscript.org) example. This is actually a benchmark - visualizing it just so happened.

Instructions
------------

First, install the development dependencies:

```
$> npm install
```

Now, to build [assembly/index.ts](./assembly/index.ts) to an untouched and an optimized `.wasm` including their respective `.wat` representations, run:

```
$> npm run asbuild
```

Afterwards, run `npm run server` to start a <a href="http://localhost:9080">local server</a>. Should also automatically launch a browser.

To run the benchmark:

```
$> npm run test [steps=1000000]
```
