Amibian.js on bitbucket

The Smart Pascal driven desktop known as Amibian.js is available on bitbucket. It was hosted in a normal github repository earlier – so make sure you clone out from this one.

About Amibian.js

Amibian is a desktop environment written in Smart Pascal. It compiles to JavaScript and can be used through any modern HTML5 compliant browser. The project consists of both a client and server, both written in smart pascal. The server is executed by node.js (note: please install PM2 to have better control over scaling and task management: http://pm2.keymetrics.io/).

Amibian.js is best suited for embedded projects, such as kiosk systems. It has been used in tutoring software for schools, custom routers and a wide range of different targets. It can easily be molded into a rich environment for SAD (single application devices) based software – but also made to act more as a real operating system:

• Class driven filesystem, easy to target external services
  • Ram device-type
  • Browser cache device-type
  • ZIPfile device-type
  • Node.js device-type
• Cross domain application hosting
  • Traditional IPC protocol between hosted application and desktop
  • Shared resources
    • css styling
    • glyphs and images
  • Event driven visual controls
• Windowing manager makes it easy to implement custom applications
• Support for fullscreen API

Amibian ships with UAE.js (based on the SAE.js codebase) making it possible to run Amiga software directly on the desktop surface.
