TypeScript version of the library and modularity about ar.js HOT 9 OPEN

@kalwalt not extensive I will admit, but I was agreeing that a plain JS distribution sounds like a good idea because it is (perhaps) less likely to produce unexpected problems and maintain compatibility with existing code.

I would say it's fine as long as there's always easy access to the final distribution in plain JS.

I agree with @RobvandenBerg.

Hey guys.

I have currently been very busy with my work, so I did not have the time to help out here.
But I will take a look at the AR.js-threejs repo you made.

Yes absolutely there will be always a plain JS distribution at the end. Thanks @RobvandenBerg for the feedback!

I agree with @RobvandenBerg.

What your experience and knowledge with Typescript @nickw1 ?

from ar.js.

I think AR.js-threex should be renamed as AR.js-threejs because it collect all the code inside the threejs folder. I'm going to rename it, i think the actual name can be confusing, it suppose to contain only the THREEx namespace but it's not; with my recent changes in the code i added both namesapces ARjs and THREEx to the project. I have not created all the classes, this will be done in a future.
I will also move the repository to the AR-js-org, so everybody can partecipate and collaborate.

@nickw1 for location-base code we can also leave plain js code, it should be possible to bundle Typescript and Javascript code toghether with the allowJs option; i will not force you to code in Typescript or other language 🙂.
I will create also another repository, for testing purposes, let say AR.js-core and make the same code instead with ES6 with pure vanilla JS.
