Requires GNU Make (agnostic build tool) and Docker (container management).

Requires GNU Make (agnostic build tool), Node (JavaScript Runtime), and Emscripten (C and C++ WebAssembly compiler toolchain based on LLVM/Clang)
make install-editor # installs editor dependencies
make build-core # compiles core into wasm
make build-editor # builds the editor ( depends on core )
make run-editor # run on the configured port ( 4096 )Requires gcc (compiler collection), SDL2 (C based cross-platform software development library), and GNU Make (agnostic build tool)
It's possible to build the core as a headless CLI native executable.
As I've avoided using CMake so far, the Makefile rule for native builds is hardcoded with gcc — I've not tested Clang at this stage, so make a PR if your really want to use it.
You will need to download and extract the SDL2 library. SDL is not bundled with any compilers outside of emscripten that I know of.
Use the latest stable build of SDL2 for this project. My include headers are for this version, and I've not tested SDL3 yet.
Add SDL2.dll to core/lib. Then build the core with gcc
make build-core-nativeWrite a program in the web client, download it, and pass it to component.exe
./component.exe program.jsonI've not tested compilation on MacOS or Linux distributions.
