Sample target for a Microsoft MakeCode Editor

This repo contains a sample editor built with Microsoft MakeCode (PXT). The editor is hosted on the GitHub pages at http://microsoft.github.io/pxt-sample/

If you'd like to start your own editor, fork this repo and fix all the TODOs.

TODOs

• Fork repo and setup local server (see below)
• Update metadata in pxtarget.json. Change the id, title, name, etc... to your taste.
• Update the JavaScript runtime in sim/simulator.ts. If needed add additional JS library under sim/public/** and edit sim/public/simulator.html with additional script tags.
• Update the APIs in sim/api.ts to use your runtime.
• Test your editor in the local server
• run pgk staticpkg --gh --bump to upload a static version to GitHub pages.
