Javascript JVM available? Hello everybody, Is there a JavaScript JVM library (*.a) for Wii Homebrew scene available. If so, migrating existing java script games to the Wii would be really easy. This will open a complete new world of possibilities ;-}. If there is nothing available. Who will help me to migrate Mozilla SpiderMonkey (http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/) to the Wii platform. Looking forward to your reactions?

Arikado, your claim has been proven wrong by the fact that the Opera channel does too support JavaScript. It isn't impossible, it's just stupid.

Opera CAN run javascript, I'm on wii mote so ain't gonna type any out, but if in doubt send me a pm and I will knock up something quick in js that you can host online and test yourself.

I've got a few things I'm doing and some use js in opera. Yes I know opera reports errors "sometimes".]]> Slimmmmmm CodingTue, 06 Jan 2009 17:48:57 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5343#msg-5343 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5343#msg-5343 HyperHacker CodingSat, 20 Dec 2008 02:45:31 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5236#msg-5236 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5236#msg-5236
On the topic of a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) I had considered working on a port of JamVM. But the bigger task would have been getting Gnu Classpath (a free class library to replace sun's) to build. And while that's not javascript, there is a javascript interpreter that was written entirely in Java. But LUA is a much better choice if you're not writing a web browser :-)]]> Choba CodingThu, 18 Dec 2008 06:29:49 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5149#msg-5149 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5149#msg-5149
I was making my assumption from this post. But umm, without a DOM web based javascript games wouldn't work anyway, and I don't think there are many Javascript games to begin with. I am now completely confused about this post, and am going to avoid it for the sake of my sanity.]]> iofthestorm CodingTue, 16 Dec 2008 21:26:03 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5125#msg-5125 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5125#msg-5125
I've not looked for any, but have a search on [SourceForge.net] You might find one that you can port easily.]]> whodares CodingTue, 16 Dec 2008 08:31:01 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5123#msg-5123 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5123#msg-5123 HyperHacker CodingTue, 16 Dec 2008 08:04:42 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5099#msg-5099 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5099#msg-5099

IHowever, the mention of JVM makes me think maybe he meant writing a JVM for the Wii? That would be decidedly not useless, but probably a huge pain and not worth it.

Go back and reread the first post. It explicitly refers to JavaScript.

I know that, I just thought maybe he was confused about the difference between Java and Javascript, and meant to say Java, since Javascript does not use the JVM. And I was thinking without a DOM Javascript would be useless but I didn't realize you could use it as a scripting language for other parts of a game.]]> iofthestorm CodingTue, 16 Dec 2008 01:56:06 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5076#msg-5076 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5076#msg-5076

is that without a browser porting just Javascript is a waste of time.
Not necessarily, you could use it as a scripting language in a game to script weapons, AI etc.. Just because the web is the common place for JavaScript does not limit it to such]]> whodares CodingMon, 15 Dec 2008 11:25:42 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5075#msg-5075 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,5075#msg-5075

On topic: Nothing is available for a javascript library right now. Good luck porting. I don't think its technically possible (since its a language meant for web browsers specifically to read) but its at least worth a shot.]]> Arikado CodingSun, 14 Dec 2008 22:16:50 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4938#msg-4938 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4938#msg-4938 wplaat CodingSun, 14 Dec 2008 19:56:31 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4936#msg-4936 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4936#msg-4936 whodares CodingSun, 14 Dec 2008 19:51:07 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4933#msg-4933 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4933#msg-4933 wplaat CodingSun, 14 Dec 2008 19:44:48 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4931#msg-4931 Re: Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4931#msg-4931 whodares CodingSun, 14 Dec 2008 19:24:38 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4928#msg-4928 Javascript JVM available?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?11,4928,4928#msg-4928
