Playground

The Playground allows to transpile and run Bau programs in the browser.

Run Locally

To run the playground locally, clone the git repository, and then open docs/playground.html with a browser. The browser needs to support Javascript and WASM. There is no need to install any other software.

Technical Implementation Details

The playground is a static web app. All processing (transpilation, compilation, running the generated program) is done in the browser. The playground can be downloaded and used offline. It consists of:

• Source code editor: CodeMirror, implemented in JavaScript. For mobile clients, a HTML "textarea" is used.
• Transpiler: TeaVM, ahead-of-time compiler for Java bytecode. JavaScript is used.
• C compiler and runtime: XCC, a very small C compiler. WASM is used here.
