Online emulator

Post by Sparrowhawk »

Is that new or have I missed it for ages?! Pretty neat anyway.

One thing: on this Linux laptop, I cannot get the # key to register at all. Is there a key combo that works instead?
(Not tested it on Win or Mac yet)

It was discussed in sQLux thread a little. But it is new as in a few weeks. That ppe dude is responsible for webbing sQLux.

I used it a little, well pleased with it. Must try to make time to delve further into it and prepare a few games for it, Delighted to have a QL emulator in a browser, thanks ppe and XorA (who is to blame for the sQLux emulator itself).

Errrrrrm

I think some form of unintended key translation is going on :-D

After XorA did some heave lifting on restructuring the source code it was relatively easy to compile a WebASM version. The web page is work-in-progress. Intention is to add relevant sqlux configuration options like amount of memory, etc. to the web interface. But I have too many projects at the moment so the web interface is in hiatus.

To avoid confusion, reloading the page restarts the emulator.

No idea why the # key is not working. Not that it's useful in SuperBASIC development :D

So I can type # with the default keymap, but not the GB one :-D (this is running on my macbook) its possible the key is just missing!

How do you specific a channel number, if the # is not available?

Yeah, sorry for making a very poor attempt at a joke. Obviously needs to be fixed!

XorA delivered again, fixing the GB keymap! New version deployed. On my Finnish keyboard the "§" key now produces the "#" character. "§" apparently is the backtick key on GB/US keyboards.

Many thanks to XorA!
