Abstract: Recreating the time machine gizmo seen in film Back to the Future using reactable, countup, scss and Quarto.
Full Description: This table is a recreation of the time travel device seen in the movie Back to the Future. It uses a combination of scss and {reactable} to stylize and display the table.
The {countup} package by @JohnCoene is integrated into the body of the table to give the illusion of the machine calibrating.
I’ve provided two views of the table: the first is the original (flat) view, the second is meant to be look like a real machine by adding some perspective (i.e. 3d). Both retain the illusion of the machine calibrating!
My aims for this project were two-fold:
-
To think about creative uses of tables!
-
Continue to investigate and experiment with reactable, scss and Quarto.
Enjoy!
