What is it?
Today I found interesting service named Replit which is kind of online IDE for many languages, i already saw many of similar project, for example ideone, which i used in my school days for solving contest on shool computers, where compilers is not installed.
But Replit provide much more, you have a really good editor, collaborative mode, you may build complicated projects which contains multiple files, using ppular build systems, like CMake.
Interactive code in blogpost
The main feature, as i think is - your program may be interactive, you may embed this code into your blog. For example, I made a simple Snake game which you can run right now π
Hint: control WASD on english keyboard only
You may check source code of this game just clic to the button show files
.
How to put this demo on your blog
To add repl on your site, just create a own repl on the site, and then add this iframe
on your web page:
<iframe frameborder="0" width="100%" height="500px"
src="REPL_URL?embed=true"></iframe>
If you have blog on the Medium, it’s actually not possible, because they are not support user-provided iframes
, so i recommend you switch to Hugo
.
Thanks Erik Smith which create a tutorial how to add Replit to hugo.
