XaoS port to Native Client/Chrome

[Robert]

A port of XoaS running in Chrome (via Native Client) is now available

in the chrome webstore, c.f. http://robertmuth.blogspot.com/

It is still a little rough around the edges but the main features

are working.

Dear Robert,

Wow, this is really neat! :-)

As far as I can understand, just very minor code is needed to convert the XaoS sources into a NaCl capable one. Which tool does the magic? (I am completely new to NaCl.)

How about adding the http://code.google.com/p/naclports/source/browse/trunk/src/examples/graphics/xaos/nacl_xaos-3.5.patch patch into the SVN sources directly? Would it be a good idea?

Thanks, Zoltan

NaCl comes with its own toolchain(s). After applying the patch, which was created manually, you just use the largely gcc compatible

native client toolchain to generate native client executables aka nexe's.

The patch is still rather rough, e.g. no keyboard support.

Another approach would be to turn the patch into an SDL backend for xaos.

Such a backend may be useful by itself and SDL application are easily converted

to native client apps
