Home Computer JavaScript

Imagine... If Locomotive BASIC was instead JavaScript and instead of it being on the Amstrad CPC, it was on your favourite game consoles.

I guess this is kinda off topic but I'm interested in your feedback.  I created this overnight. Only 3 more functions for me to code to allow anyone to have their own program space, but for now, everyone can edit and play with the editor and provided JS programs and create new ones - and muck each other's programs up. The purpose is to bring the 8bit experience to modern systems, in particular game consoles with web browsers. but not limited to them.  This deploy is really a demo so don't waste your whole life coding your next best program in it and expect it to remain... but if you do create something cool, share it.

Now: 
- you can login on as many devices as you like.
- you can use the very small API and code anything you like in JavaScript, either as a program or immediate mode. Just like Locomotive BASIC.

Soon: 
- you will have your own home space for your own programs.
- you will be able to share home spaces, i.e. you are a team working on things together.
- more API functions to come, but actually you don't need them if you are an experienced JS programmer.

Some console testing,  xbox one works pretty well when the browser zoom is set to 100%, not 125%... 

Ps4 for me it doesn't register the keyboards enter key. Seems ps4 doesn't even have an enter key in the virtual keyboard either which is weird when using its Web browser. 

So xbox one so far looks like something this can work quite nicely on.

Lots changed and improved, although sharing is now working from a technical point of view, we aren't actually sharing anything useful yet as i haven't coded the "space" command to change spaces away from public.

Once I have implemented the space command, i plan to put it into github as well as host it.  This will allow anyone to host within their LAN if they want or online, the only downside with lots of hosts online, we can't share between them how I've implemented it, and I have no plan to allow that...
