Animated 3D Cube Slideshow

An Animated 3D Cube Slideshow with HTML5 that pictures are located within the walls of the cube. The cube itself rotates continuously.

Usage:

1. Include necessary files in your head section:

<link href="css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/script.js"></script>

2. HTML5

<canvas id="slideshow" width="1280" height="800"></canvas>

3. Options
