Moon Server

We describe the implementation of a dynamical HTML page in Prolog that displays the moon phase seen from the northern hemisphere for a given day. The code demonstrates a HTTP server addition available for the platforms JavaScript, Python and Java.

• Synodic Month: We compute the moon phase from epoch time in milliseconds using the length of the synodic month. More...

• Server Graphics: We generate server side continuously varying graphics depending on the given floating point value of the moon phase. More...

• HTML Page: By means of the library(spin) we wrote a HTTP server that does serve two pages /style.css and /moon.cgi. More...

• Example Uses: The server can be run with either Dogelog Player for JavaScript, Python or Java. A browser will show a document with the moon phase. More...
