Standalone app for ICEcoder #370

Closed mattpass closed 10 years ago

mattpass commented 10 years ago

Work has begun by someone on a standalone app version of ICEcoder. While not part of ICEcoder's roadmap, it's an interesting concept that could lead to software based versions of it. Especially as it works with very few bugs (that likely exist in ICEcoder itself!):

The app is based on chrome. So you can use developer tools.

Bug reports so far:

  1. When updating plugins, it dosen't close the window when it's done it continues to say "Saving plugins"
  2. Changing Root folder to a custom one makes ICEcoder not update when you're making new files. And it's a visible performance hit aswell.

I have looked more into a desktop version of ICEcoder using this and found it works great. The distribution can come with the Chrome (or IE) engine, Mongoose web server and PHP plus ICEcoder as a complete, installable setup.

Because ICEcoder also runs from the www dir, it means it's still customisable just as you would find with the open source download (it simply lives in that dir). However, a quick tweak allows it to use a drive (eg c:/ if you wish) as the document root.

This means you can open any file on your PC and it runs like software.

A note to this issue has been added to the ICEcoder Desktop repo now, so closing in this repo as it's not related to the main browser based version.
