QBJS - Running a compiled program locally

[dbox]

I started a new thread here to respond to @Pete without further hijacking @Mastergy's thread...

I guess I have some loose concept of someday putting together an HTML page I can run locally, with various input fields and boxes to click, which would run programs that would interact with the html page, itself. That way I get the beauty and ease of HTML/CSS pages with the mechanical functionality of QB64.

So, that you can certainly do today.  If you click the share button...
   
...in one of the examples below and then choose "Auto" as the mode and click "Export"...
   
...you will be prompted to download a "program.zip".  You can then just unzip this file and double-click the index.html to run in a local browser.

Murphy's Law. Start a new thread, and in just one post, we're done!

Yeah, that's pretty much the whole shootin' match. Does exactly what I was talking about. +2

Thanks!

If you get super ambitious @Pete you can also create executables and self-contained downloads using NWJS or such. I made a video on it if you're interested LMK. TL;DR: it would let you double click an exe file instead of open a web page.

It's a big package to download and contains a ton of files and fancy workflow is required to get it built, but it's doable for sure and many many programs exist that use it (or Electron, or so on).

Psyched to see Yosemite Sam playing in QBJS!

Well darn, that's handy.
