How to update disk images

To update the disk images, add the files to the images/ directory. Run gulp images, or have gulp watch running prior to making changes.

Disk images must meet the following criteria:

• Provide images in their respective 'zeroed' positions;
• Images must be square;
• All three must have same dimensions;
• Image files may be .png, .jpg, or .gif.

The application looks for files named disk0.png, disk1.png, and disk2.png as the default disk images. These filenames are configurable in config.js under diskUrls.
