Getting Started with local development

[Paul Kerrison]

Hi all,

Just come across brassmonkey and love the idea.  I'd like to have a go at developing so have downloaded the sdk and examples...

Bit of a newb question - but how do I get started?

I'm on Windows so I assumed I'd host the brassmonkey files in IIS Eg inetpub\wwwroot\bmsdk, set up the site in IIS and then navigate to http://localhost:8080.

When I do, I can see the index.html but when I try and launch any of the examples and then connect using my phone - no host is found.

I'd put money on me misunderstanding something fundamental - but thought I'd ask as a way of saying hi and getting started :-)

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Hey Paul,

Which SDK are you trying out. Sounds like the HTML5 one. Are you able to connect to our website?

Hi Francois,

Yeah - I should have said..

I've downloaded the HTML5 SDK (brassmonkeyjs-0.4.0.zip)

I can connect and play games on http://playbrassmonkey.com/ no problem...in fact, just bought some coins to check out some of the current multiplayer stuff.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Hey Paul,

Ok, good to know. Do you use Skype or any other chat client? Perhaps I can walk you through it.

for info - if anyone else is struggling with this bit...

IIS will deny access to bin fodlers

You can get around it by commenting out  the bin section of the hiddensegments section of the $windir\System32\inetsrv\configapplicatonhost.config:

<hiddenSegments applyToWebDAV="true">

                    <add segment="web.config" />

                    <!--<add segment="bin" />-->

                    <add segment="App_code" />

                    <add segment="App_GlobalResources" />

                    <add segment="App_LocalResources" />

                    <add segment="App_WebReferences" />

                    <add segment="App_Data" />

                    <add segment="App_Browsers" />

                </hiddenSegments>
