[x3d-public] Limit to # of chained sensors?

[John Carlson]

Script in the sense that I’m writing Node.js code to generate this.   X3D
is supposed to be declarative, yet resorts to Scripting???  I’m also
learning Castle Script as a backup.

If I had something I could use that would log the events, so I could
actually see what’s happening, instead of flashing buttons, cool!   I don’t
really even need a GUI, at this point If i could specify a field in
TimeSensor, that would be cool.  A 3D visualization of the evens would be
cool too!

I’m trying with ScalarInterpolators and BooleanSequencers again, hoping to
get something working.  Sigh!  I’ll try to get something by today.
