JSDL (I hope this wont be the final name!)

JSDL is a lightweight C++11 OpenSource V8 Engine powered JavaScript runner with integrated bindings (SDL 2, SDL Image 2, SDL TTF 2, Serial, File, System).

This project started to build a fast startup integrated JavaScript interpreter with easy-to-use library for multimedia bindings. The first project that used JSDL is ADisplay, a display improvement for an Honda Accord, I will publish it in the future.

Getting Started

You will need all development packages to compile it. Check your distribution for these:

-lpthread -lv8 -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf

Building

As easy as run the Makefile:

make

It compiles nicely on 32-bit systems, amd64, as well on ARM devices.

Once compiled, jsdl binary will be available to run applications.

Documentation

As a starter project, this has no docs, so if you want to know what functions are enabled, you can start reading this source code files:

examples/example.js
src/lib.cc

In src/lib.cc first static function createShellContext has the definition of the objects you can use in the library lib.

-> v8::Persistent<v8::Context> LIB::createShellContext()
