This directory contains minimal web-servers in common scripting languages.
These are designed to expose the games
directory at http://localhost:8000/
so that you can debug your creation in the browser more easily. This is
needed because some browsers refuse to store data in localSettings when
serving files from a file:/// url. Simply start one of these servers
and use the http://localhost:8000/ address instead.
For example, the ruby server (requires Ruby installed):
ruby serve.rb
Or on a unix-type machine;
./serve.rb
Similarly for Python (again you'll need Python installed)
python serve.py
or
./serve.py
You might already have Python installed, it is installed on Macs and Linux machines by default.
If you have a minimal (< 20 lines) web server that can do this job in another language, please ping me and I'll add it here. I am particularly interested in servers that will run out of the box on Windows. I will not include .exe files, however.
