Now that we have all that fixed, we have a well rendered spinning teapot. While doing the coding, we also fixed a bad piece of programming; the pot speed was hard coded to be 20 or so. This is better if it's a const from a programming maxim, "never embed constants in the body of your program":
import React, {Component } from 'react';import { Animated, AppRegistry, asset, AmbientLight, Box, DirectionalLight, Div, Model, Pano, Plane, Text, Vector, View, } from 'react-vr'; class TurningPot extends React.Component { constructor(props) { super(props); this.state = {yRotation: 0}; this.lastUpdate = Date.now(); this.rotate = this.rotate.bind(this); } rotate() { //custom function, called when it is time to rotate const now = Date.now(); ...
