No I'm not :-) We have in common to both be from Brittany though !

I wrote this application in order to illustrate Einstein-Poincaré
synchronization procedure in order to (in order of importance):

- Learn more about Web front development
- Learn about Brython (I'm a Python developer for decades)
- Have fun!
- Show how stupidly wrong Richard "Hachel" Lengrand and Thomas
   Heger are

Nice! Is this software available in binary or source form?

I would definitely suggest Brython instead of JS :-) And definitely
Python instead of C# :-))

BTW, I just update the application there:

https://www.noedge.net/e/

It now allows to check synchronization from Left to Right or Right
to Left.

Plans are to clean up the "view" i.e. the Simulation Class, adapt
to smartphones screens, and propose the Poincaré's setup (i.e.
a light source in the middle between clocks) to illustrate that
what Poincaré and Einstein proposed are equivalent.
