Mini Map Aide is a mobile phone website application for visualizing atomic models and electron density maps. It emulates a small number of the functions of FRODO. It is coded in Lua, simply because that was the language that was stored in my head at the time of deciding to do this. Mini Map Aide uses a JavaScript virtual machine Fengari so that it runs as a web-browser script and can use various javascript libraries such as math.js and, most importantly, the 3D graphics library three.js. Quoting from Wikipedia (the free encyclopedia):
Three.js is a cross-browser JavaScript library and application programming interface (API) used to create and display animated 3D computer graphics in a web browser using WebGL.
