A tech demo of in-browser C# (.NET Standard) compilation and PixiJS WebGL.

Who: This project was made by Kevin Gravier and open sourced under the MIT License.

What: A simulation to tech demo in browser C# .Net Standard compilation and execution using Blazor, Bootstrap, PixiJS, and Monaco Editor.

Where: https://mrkmg.github.io/PondSharp/

When: © 2020 Kevin Gravier (MIT License).

Why: This was made mostly out of curiosity of the ability to compile and run c# in the browser with Blazor. This may or may not turn into something more.

Building/Developing Prerequisites

You need:

• This project cloned
• NodeJS and NPM installed
• DotNet 6.0 SDK

How to Run for Development

In a terminal, at the root of the solution run:

    # change directory to the Client project
    cd Client
    
    # restore dependencies
    dotnet restore
    
    # build the project. Will also run npm install, and webpack build
    dotnet build
    
    # run the project...
    
    # ...as Debug
    dotnet run -c Debug --launch-profile Pondsharp.Client.Debug
    # ...as Release
    dotnet run -c Release --launch-profile Pondsharp.Client.Release

Then open your browser to http://localhost:5500/

How to build for Deployment

    cd Client
    dotnet restore
    dotnet publish -c Release
    cd ..

You can then deploy the result of ./build/wwwroot to any web host. You must host it on a server, as wasm does not run when opened via file://
