Running Console App in Browser

[fdmomtaz]

Hi,

Let me start by saying this is a cool repo!

I have a simple and cool console app and would like to run it in the browser similar to what you are doing with the "Play Now" buttons. I looked through the repo but couldn't find the answer on how to do this. I would appreciate any pointers on how to deploy the console app to run on the browser.

Thanks

Howdy @fdmomtaz,

The "Play Now" buttons from the README.md link to GitHub Pages for which the source is set to the github-pages branch in this repository. When the main branch is pushed to there is a GitHub Action, Website Deploy.yml, that builds the Website project and force pushes the build output into the github-pages branch. Website is a Blazor Webassembly project that contains ports of all the console games. The process of porting the code from Console Application to Blazor Webassembly is currently a manual process I perform, although making a code generator is definitely possible; see #23. In the Website project there is BlazorConsole.cs that contains reimplementations of most of the members of System.Console to work in Blazor Webassembly so the majority of the porting process is a simple copy and paste.

TLDR: see the Website project for the source code of the web implementations

Hopefully that helps. :) Feel free to ask additional questions.
