ARcadia + WebRTC

A programming editor to enable construction of real-time, interactive tangible interfaces + the ability to send and receive data via WebRTC.

Try it out here: https://laboratoryforplayfulcomputation.github.io/arcadia-webrtc/

If you would like to have multiple editors open in Chrome without having "inactive" tabs discarded from memory, go to chrome://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding and set it to disabled.
