Crosscut

So, about running Caterpillar in the browser. What I was going to write about today, is the approach I've chosen for making that happen. I considered other approaches too, and I would have presented those in the following days. Weighing their pros and cons, convincing you (and myself!) that I've made the right choice. I could have talked about that for weeks, probably!

All of that has been overtaken by events, because I'm already done:

(You can't see my mouse pointer in the video, unfortunately. What I'm doing there at the end, is clicking "Stop", "Continue", and "Reset" a few times, to demonstrate the debugger.)

I just mashed everything (game, debugger, all language infrastructure) into a single web page. I figured that would be the quickest option, and it's good to know that I was right for once. Eventually, we'll need more sophisticated infrastructure, to deploy the game and debugger separately, for example. But for now this will do.
