What is '3d' supposed to do? It crashes on my browser (Chrome 15)

3d shows you a 3d visualization of the file/directory structure (which is empty by default), try mkdir or adding file from your computer with drag'n'drop (in the terminal, not the visualization).

or try 'init' - loades some random files.

It brings up a 3D view of a thin box which you can orbit around using the left mouse button. Works here on Chrome 15 (Mac) but I believe I enabled some WebGL related flags a while ago.

3d doesn't seem to do much of anything (Safari 5.1.1, OS X). It doesn't crash but it doesn't seem to do anything aside from changing the height of the terminal and creating a large, blank space above it.

I tried 3d and was too confused as to its purpose. I didn't experience a crash however and I'm using the same version of Chrome on OSX

I got a crash ( using chrome on windows 7). I did get to see a slow scrolling rectangular 3d cube before the tab crashed. The crash is probably due to the specific video card I have in use. Nice demo still.

It renders a square tile that is rotatable with your mouse.

Try using "mkdir" to create a couple directories and then navigating around. It's pretty cool, actually.

Is there anyway to create files?
