Common Issues

Audio Not Playing

Symptom: No narration, but timer advances scenes

Cause: Browser doesn't support Web Speech API (Firefox) or permissions

Solution: Normal behavior for Firefox, use timer mode

Overlapping Elements

Symptom: Graphics cover narration text or controls

Cause: Browser window too small or zoom level incorrect

Solution:

Animations Not Smooth

Symptom: Choppy or slow animations

Cause: Browser resources limited

Solution:

Layout Issues

Symptom: Elements misaligned

Cause: Old browser or non-standard rendering

Solution: Use modern browser (Chrome 90+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+)

Expected (No Errors)

✓ No error messages

✓ May see info about speech synthesis


✓ May see D3.js loading messages

Unexpected (Fix Required)

✗ Red error messages

✗ Failed to load resources


✗ JavaScript errors

Performance Benchmarks

Expected performance on modern hardware:

| Metric | Expected | Issue If |

|--------|----------|----------|

| Page load | < 1 second | > 3 seconds |

| Scene transition | Instant | > 500ms delay |

| Audio latency | < 100ms | > 500ms |

| Animation FPS | 60 fps | < 30 fps |

File Integrity Check

Verify all required files exist:

cd /Users/nholland/Projects/Claude/PSTN2/animations


<h1 id="should-return-9">Should return 9</h1>


find src -name "index.html" | wc -l



<h1 id="should-return-9">Should return 9</h1>


find src -name "animation.js" | wc -l



<h1 id="should-return-9">Should return 9</h1>


find src -name "styles.css" | wc -l



<h1 id="should-return-9">Should return 9</h1>


find src -name "README.md" | wc -l

Expected output: 9 for each command

Launcher Script Test

cd /Users/nholland/Projects/Claude/PSTN2/animations


<h1 id="list-animations">List animations</h1>


./open_animation.sh



<h1 id="expected-output">Expected output:</h1>


<h1 id="pstn2-animation-launcher">PSTN2 Animation Launcher</h1>


<h1 id="">========================</h1>


<h1 id="available-animations"># Available animations:</h1>


<h1 id="1-problem-statement-8-scenes">1. Problem Statement (8 scenes)</h1>


<h1 id="2-solution-overview-12-scenes">2. Solution Overview (12 scenes)</h1>


<h1 id="">...</h1>

Test opening an animation:

./open_animation.sh 1

<h1 id="should-open-problem-statement-in-browser">Should open Problem Statement in browser</h1>

Documentation Test

Verify documentation files exist and are readable:

Final Verification

All Animations Load

<h1 id="run-this-to-verify-all-html-files-are-valid">Run this to verify all HTML files are valid</h1>

for dir in problem-statement solution-overview authentication-option1 authentication-option2 direct-routing emergency-services distributed-database map-architecture end-to-end-scenario; do


    echo -n "Checking $dir... "


    if [ -f "src/$dir/index.html" ] && [ -f "src/$dir/animation.js" ] && [ -f "src/$dir/styles.css" ]; then


        echo "✓"


    else


        echo "✗ MISSING FILES"


    fi


done

Expected: All lines show ✓

Line Count Verification

<h1 id="total-lines-of-code">Total lines of code</h1>

find src -name ".html" -o -name ".js" -o -name "*.css" | xargs wc -l | tail -1

Expected: ~12,000+ lines
