I'm pleased to announce a cool new feature. When uploading (or editing) your program, you can now enable a Try It Now button. Here's an example with @SlithyMatt's excellent program, Chase Vault. Open the full program page to see the button:


Currently this supports PRG files, and they can be zipped or unzipped (we unzip them on the server).

Huge thanks to @MattGrandis & @SebastianVoges for their help getting this working!

Your friend in retro, Perifractic

That is cool! It came right up in the Web emulator for me...

It's actually playable... if you mute the sound. I don't know if the sound can be improved for the web emulator, but it comes out very "crunchy", like the avant garde industrial version of the theme music. I am very pleasantly surprised, however, that it appears to be playing at full speed with perfect graphics, which I had not seen before on the web, and frankly didn't think was possible. Maybe perfect sound is possible, too? Either way, amazing work!

Sorry, missed this, I have not looked to closely into the sound issue (other then getting it to work again, even though it sounds a bit experimental) . But it's definitely on the list of things i want to do. https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator/issues/271
