Blinks-Simulator

An online editor to preview games that developped in Blinks systems. Demo

• Live edit C++ code powered by Code Mirror
• Auto compile C++ code into javascript with custom parser
• Each blink tile is running in its own thread using WebWorker
• LED lighting simulates in shader with PixiJS
• Physics engine powered by MatterJS (using custom build with fernandez's decomp library for better convex & concave support)

Start

• npm install to install packages
• npm run build to build blinks.js library
• npm run dev to start a local dev server

Usage

• Click and drag blinks to re-arrange them.
• Click and drag in an open space to break them.
• You can use console for debugging info

Files

• build/blinks.js core library to handle user interaction and simulation using PixiJS & MatterJS
• examples/js/app.js main js file to run the demo
• examples/js/blinks.js simulates functions of a single blink tile
• examples/js/parse.js custom parser to compile C++ Arduino code into Javascript

Blinks.js

build/blinks.js can be used independently to interact and display blinks, it has its own namespace, and supports multiple instances on a single page

new BLINKS("global"); //with global namespace
resizeCanvas(800, 640);
createBlocks(6)
for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    setColor(i, YELLOW)
    setColorOnFace(i, Math.floor(Math.random() * 6), CYAN)
}

Alternatively you can create a custom namespace

const blk = new BLINKS();
blk.resizeCanvas(800, 640);
blk.createBlocks(6)
for (let i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    blk.setColor(i, blk.YELLOW)
    blk.setColorOnFace(i, Math.floor(Math.random() * 6), blk.CYAN)
}

It also support multiple instances in one single page

const blk01 = new BLINKS();
blk01.resizeCanvas(400, 300);
blk01.createBlocks(4)
for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    blk01.setColor(i, blk01.YELLOW)
    blk01.setColorOnFace(i, Math.floor(Math.random() * 6), blk01.CYAN)
}
const blk02 = new BLINKS();
blk02.resizeCanvas(400, 300);
blk02.createBlocks(4)
for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    blk02.setColors(i,  Array.from({ length: 6 }, () => Array.from({ length: 3 }, () => Math.random() > 0.2 ? 0.0 : 1.0)))
}
