OpenXA was a project I started in late 2021 to make a playground for running
programs from the videogame EXAPUNKS
in-browser.
View the interactive exa-viewer interface here.
OpenXA consists of three smaller projects:
exa-parse- an Ohm.js grammar & parserexa-js- an execution engine that utilizes exa-parse to read programs and then executes them - including managing multiple EXAs, message passing, EXA replication, and virtual registersexa-viewer- a frontend to allow writing programs, running them, and investigating EXA states
The language is complete, but exa-viewer lacks any way to configure the network layout, host naming, or virtual hardware registers.
I still dream of one day returning to the project and adding a “map” editor that allows users to configuring and sharing networks so they can create and share their own puzzles and solutions.
