WebJCS

New version: http://www.jazz2online.com/jcf/showt...684#post471684


Download WebJCS from Chrome Web Store here.

WebJCS is a fanmade version of Jazz Creation Station running in a web-browser.
Currently the only supported browser is Google Chrome, but I'd like to support more browsers, such as Firefox.
Some reasons why this isn't cross-browser:
  • It is using special APIs only available in Google Chrome (such as the FileSystem API).
  • It requires fast graphics rendering (Chrome renders twice as fast as FF).
  • It requires some of the latest ES5, HTML5 and CSS3 features.
  • Chrome's JavaScript engine, V8, is (with my experience) the absolute fastest JS engine available.
  • The browser needs to render the page correctly, when in standards mode.
  • You can run it as app in Chrome and it's easy to install it from the Chrome Web Store.

When the basic JCS functionality is done, I can start add new features, such as the first idea of a web-based JCS: Collaborative level editing.

Things to do next: Bugfixes (Saving don't always work, for example), an interface to select events, changable level properties, better help-string editor, editable JCS.ini, better filesystem browsing with features like rename, delete, sort, and other settings.

Want to suggest a feature to a new version of JCS? Use this thread. Only post WebJCS related questions/posts in this thread.
