Development with

JSBeeb within your development environment

jsbeeb can be efficiently included in your build cycle as follows. This shows a example using BeebAsm, but any build script that can output an .ssd file can be made to work.

Windows example setup

Setup a local installation of jsbeeb with a clone of the repo (e.g. to C:\workspace\bbc\jsbeeb), and then run a local webserver.

C:\workspace\bbc> cd jsbeeb
C:\workspace\bbc\jsbeeb> python -m http.server
Serving HTTP on :: port 8000 (http://[::]:8000/) ...

Test that jsbeeb is running - launch http://localhost:8000.

jsbeeb can load a disc image from its local discs folder, e.g. C:\workspace\BBC\jsbeeb\discs, with the parameter disc1=image.ssd and will boot from that disc with the autoboot parameter.

So if working with beebasm then you can use a .cmd file like this to build MYAPP, and copy the output to the jsbeeb folder.

..\beebasm-1.09\beebasm -i source.asm -do MYAPP.ssd -boot MYAPP
..\beebasm-1.09\beebasm.exe  -vc -i source.asm -v > build_output.asm

copy MYAPP.ssd C:\workspace\BBC\jsbeeb\discs

Then run MYAPP as follows: http://localhost:8000/?&about&keyLayout=natural&disc1=MYAPP.ssd&autoboot Just refresh the page after each build to test the application.
