js-dos is a javascript library that allows you to run DOS programs in browser. It was designed from the ground up to be easily installed and used to get your DOS program up and running in browser quickly.
Dos(element).run("game.jsdos")Create js-dos web page with no build configuration.
npx create-dosbox my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm start
---
Open localhost:8080 in browserYou will be prompted to select game that you want bootstrap.
If you've previously installed create-dosbox globally via npm install -g create-dosbox, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g create-dosbox or yarn global remove create-dosbox to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
(npx comes with npm 5.2+ and higher, see instructions for older npm versions)
Then open http://localhost:8080/ to see your app.
It will create a directory called my-app inside the current folder.
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure:
my-app
├── package.json
└── _site
├── js-dos
├── bundle.jsdos
└── index.html
No configuration or complicated folder structures, only the files you need to build your app.
- js-dos - contains last release version of js-dos that you can download from Releases page
- bundle.jsdos - is a bundle with game to start read more
- index.html - is a web page template
So, you can host _site on static web server no other dependincies is needed.
Once the installation is done, you can open your project folder:
cd my-appInside the newly created project, you can run some built-in commands:
npm install
npm startOpen http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.
