Until some day we have a working up to date (non GPL encumbered)= .NET compiler or LLVM backend part of your code will need to be executed e= ither on a server or the local machine as an older Win64 or Win32 service, = but you can take full advantage of the platform and run the client side on = an XBox, Windows PC, Phone, etc. (event submit to the app store). Essentially the steps are: 1. Create a new VisualStudio JS Windows Universal App project. 2. Copy boot.js and jquery.min.js from gnoga/js to your_project/js 3. Modify default.html to include the two js files. 4. Modify boot.js to hard code the server location (ws://snake.gnoga.com:80= 80/gnoga for example). Done. You can use any Windows APIs, etc. by simply binding them like other JS scr= ipt. If there is interest perhaps I'll bind some of the basics in the futur= e. For those not familiar this solution is very different than serving out web= pages, your Ada code will have direct interactive control of every element= of the Windows app. David Botton
