kdb+/k/q web socket server running a tick-based 3D world simulation; each cell lives and acts independently.

Three.js Voxel Painter, created by Stemkoski/mrdoob, connects via web sockets to the kdb+/k/q process in order to render the JSON-encoded simulation data in 3D.

• kdb+/k/q
• Static web server, such as NodeJS with node-static
