  • Javascript Door Kit

    From Lonewolf@1:103/705 to All on Wed Feb 13 20:56:56 2019
    I'm interested in writing a few door games for Synchronet. I currently use a
    C# door kit I built based on Rick Parrish's RMLIb. I'm a software developer by trade and use Javascript daily. Where can I find documentation and a sample door to get me started in using the Synchronet framework? Thanks guys.

    I'd start here: http://wiki.synchro.net/custom:javascript

    You can write traditional "doors" in pretty much any language, and there are many door kits out there to help with that, though they're not strictly required. But writing in JS for Synchronet will save you a lot of headache and hassle.

    Not sure I made myself clear on my last message. I want to write doors/utils for Synchronet using Javascript (which I'm well versed in) but need a little guidance on intergrating with Synchronet. Thanks in advance.

    there are many examples in the xtrn/ direcory and even more in http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xtrn/

    to add it to your board SCFG>EXTERNAL PROGRAMS>ONLINE PROGRAMS>GAMES>AVAILABLE ONLINE PROGRAMS ... <INSERT> ADD THE NAME ... commandline to start it should start with ?if it a js door

    hope that helps a bit
