Looks great, and it's snappy! Is "Dartmobile" a reference to Dart the programming language? It's the same color scheme :p

Yes it is :) Fun fact: the first prototype of the engine was built in Dart and later re-written in C++ for production.

Can you share the prototype? I am excited for reading interesting Dart apps in the open.

Back when Dart first came out (I think 0.1), I built a gravity simulator in it. It was a shameless rip-off of http://www.nowykurier.com/toys/gravity/gravity.html, but it was just for me to get a little familiar with it.

It was pretty dang great writing that project, and I'm beyond surprised that Dart didn't have more success in replacing JS.

I unfortunately lost the source code at some point :( (this was before I got organized, got a GitHub, etc).
