I'm not sure I follow, what do you mean specifically?

[Explosion-Scratch]

Many of these projects have an index.html page, so it would be easy to statically host this repo. Just go to here: https://github.com/coding-horror/basic-computer-games/settings/pages and enable GitHub pages, that's literally all there is to it! 😄

[coding-horror]

That is a good idea, so we could create runnable versions hosted on the page? 🤔 Can you mock up what it would look like?

[Explosion-Scratch]

You literally already have all of the code

[Explosion-Scratch]

if you publish to github pages you could play the game screenshotted at https://coding-horror.github.io/basic-computer-games/02_Amazing/javascript/amazing.html

[Explosion-Scratch]

No additional setup

[coding-horror]

Oh you mean the javascript versions. What about the other versions? .net, Java, Python, etc?

[Explosion-Scratch]

Those couldn't really be published because they would need some sort of compiler or something.

[coding-horror]

Right so I was thinking, we should do it for all of them if we're going to do it for any of them.. but if you have a proposed version for JS feel free to send a pull request and let's take a look at it!

It's not a thing I can PR. It's just an option in your repo settings. Literally one click and you're done.https://www.pluralsight.com/guides/how-to-host-your-static-webpages-on-github-pages

@coding-horror What about the other versions? .net, Java, Python, etc?

I have a repo of C# console games and I ported the code to Blazor to make them playable on GitHub Pages. If interested in this topic, my example may help you:
https://github.com/ZacharyPatten/dotnet-console-games

It would be easy to make a code generator for this, but I have not done that yet myself.

[mojoaxel]

I've create a PR that provides a simple overview of the games and lings to a playable version. See #631

Nice job! Thanks!
