GlowScript is an easy-to-use, powerful environment for creating 3D animations and publishing them on the web.

GlowScript ("Graphics Library on Web") makes it easy to write real-time navigable 3D animations that run in a browser. It is based on the language plus the 3D graphics library, both of which are included in most modern browsers.

The design of GlowScript is based on that of VPython.

Currently supported browsers include Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari etc.

You should be using this tag if your question is related to GlowScript or its APIs.
