opal-phaser

[ylluminate]

Hi, we're building opal-phaser to allow Ruby to be used to develop games with Phaser. Someone just showed me MightyEditor this evening and I thought I'd throw out the proposition to see what you'd think it would take for us to help you to integrate Opal and opal-phaser into MightyEditor.

hi, it would be nice,

• codemirror ( code editor http://codemirror.net/index.html ) already has highlight support for ruby. I just need to map extension to the mode. I'm not sure about autocomplete support.
• I'm not familiar with opal - does it need server to compile sources - or it can compiles them on the fly - in the browser?

You will need to rewrite default template so it uses opal-phaser: https://github.com/TheMightyFingers/mightyeditor/tree/master/server/templates/default/src

• skip js/lib folder except - mt.helper.js
• expose api from mt helper.js: only public methods required (without _ at the beginning) https://github.com/TheMightyFingers/mightyeditor/blob/master/server/templates/default/src/js/lib/mt.helper.js

@stauzs Regarding your question about Opal needing a server: Opal can be run on the fly in the browser. You can look into it a bit more on their website or the GitHub repo. Opal can even use a CDN to transpile Ruby code.

@stauzs I'll be adding codemirror opal autocomplete as part of opal-irb, maybe I can export something at some point.
