Hey how do you do it? You created an emulator/port from asm.js?

I tried to do this in the past in ActionScript, but we could not make it happen properly.

this is more of a spike towards https://www.npmjs.com/package/chrome-serialport - connecting the http module with long polling is not too difficult for reading. otherwise sockets are probably cleaner. for the asm.js approach, what blocking points did you experience?

We did another aproach, because it was like 8 years ago, we decided to try to implement a emolator for the microcontroller in ActionScript, but that resulted really too hard.

Is the code on github?

will be coming - the main thing is using svgify to transform svg into inline javascript. the interaction is done with the Backbone MV* approach: http://thinkingonthinking.com/fast-start-with-backbonejs/
