Froton X Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Spent 45 minutes trying to setup a local host. WAMP wouldn't work due to it detecting that my C++ database was broken and even though I "repaired" it by reinstalling the files with the repair command, it still shows it as broken. I just tried XAMMP, had the folder with the game as the root file, but doesn't read it. So I was wondering what other alternatives are there and are there any good tutorials for it? Thanks. EDIT: Nevermind, got Cloud9 IDE to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupup Games Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Other alternatives are Netbeans IDE or Visual Studio Web with already implemented local server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 This might be outdated but NodeJS + Grunt was really handy before I got visual studio. http://jessefreeman.com/dev-techniques/automating-typescript-with-node-and-grunt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kass Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 i use brackets code editor so i never have to run a local host all i do is click "preview" to run my code and test my game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froton X Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Chupup games: I have netbeans ide, but haven't tried it yet. I assumed that since Dreamweavers preview didn't work, other program's "preview" modes wouldn't work. clark: Thanks, sounds easy to implement. @99golemgames I really should have got a mac, they get all the good stuff, especially the iOS stuff. kass: Brackets can do that? I wonder why Dreamweaver can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarr11 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've been teaching kids to code and am using phaser for that. I wanted a browser based solution that was lightweight. I've been using Codepen and more recently Plunkr. No server at all. I copy paste my json files into plunkr. Use imgur to host image assets. Here's an example:http://plnkr.co/edit/xGq8XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
