Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

BrightScript Simulation Engine

An intepreter for the BrightScript language that runs Roku apps on browser platforms and Node.js.

GitHub NPM Version Build Quality Gate Status Security Rating Slack

The Project

The BrightScript Simulation Engine implements an interpreter for the BrightScript language, that can be embedded in Web, Electron and Node.js applications, allowing Roku apps to be executed in several different non-Roku platforms.

Initially the focus was on the Draw 2D API components (roScreen, roCompositor, roRegion, etc.) along with the core elements of the BrightScript language, allowing a full Roku app execution over an HTML5 Canvas, but it was extended to include simulation of the Roku file system, registry, remote control and the Micro Debugger.

This repository was originally a fork from brs, a BrightScript command line interpreter.

Important Notes:

  • At this stage, apps based on SceneGraph are not yet supported, but this feature is in the backlog to be implemented. Please check the Current Limitations document for further details on what else is still missing and what is out of scope.
  • Although brs-engine runs channels with user interface, it has no intention of emulating the full Roku OS or hardware devices, it is primarily aimed as a development tool for the Roku Community, and also to be used as a framework for running the BrighScript language in other platforms.

Technology and Compatibility

The brs-engine is developed in TypeScript and bundled as the following collection of Webpack JavaScript libraries:

| Library File | Description | | --- | --- | | app/lib/brs.api.js | Provides the Engine API to be imported and used by the Web applications hosting the Simulator.| | app/lib/brs.worker.js | A Web Worker library that runs the language parser and interpreter in a background thread on the browser platform.| |bin/brs.cli.js| Executable CLI application that can be used from the terminal: - As a language shell - REPL (read-eval-print loop)- Executing brs, zip or bpk files- Packaging zip files into encrypted bpk packages.| |bin/brs.node.js| A NodeJS library, similar to brs.worker.js that exposes the language parser and interpreter to be used by Node.js applications, the engine CLI and automated tests.| |bin/brs.ecp.js| A NodeJS Worker library, used by the CLI to launch the ECP and SSDP services.|

The Web Worker library require features like SharedArrayBuffer and OffScreenCanvas, that are relatively recent in the browser engines, because of that, it can only be executed on recent versions of:

  1. Chromium/Chrome version 69 or newer.
  2. Chrome Android version 89 or newer.
  3. Edge, version 79 or newer.
  4. Opera, version 56 or newer.
  5. Firefox, version 105 or newer.
  6. Safari macOS/iOS/ipadOS, version 16.4 or newer.
  7. Electron, version 4.0 or newer.

Note: The engine libraries are client-side only, nothing needs to be sent or processed in the server side.

How to Use the Simulator

Web Applications

This repository provides a sample web application you can build and run (learn how), but if you just want to use the simulation engine, not installing or downloading anything, try one of the web applications below:

Desktop Application

The simulator is also available as a multi-platform desktop application (Windows, Linux & macOS) that uses the package published by this project. The application introduces several aditional Roku features, such as the ECP (External Control Protocol) and Remote Console servers to allow integration with tools like Telnet or VSCode BrightScript Extension. You can also change the device configurations such as screen resolution, keyboard control customization, localization, among others. Download the installers and find more information in the links below:
