95% of the code is client-side javascript (i.e. coffeescript)

However, the server-side code is pretty complex for an app like this too (read up on creating a large zip file on App Engine some time) but I write very compact code...

I'm almost embarrassed to say it's 700 lines of code on the server-side :-) since it feels wrong for so few lines of code to do so much.

The client-side math described sounds pretty interesting. Any chance you'll open-source the CoffeeScript bits?

http://www.automatoon.com/documentation/faq.html says that the player's source is up on GitHub, but that link appears to 404 at the moment.
