Sparcade: Edison as a Web Server for Browser Games

Contributors: Shawn Hymel

Resources and Going Further

To connect the Edison to the internet, connect via SSH and run the command:

configure_edison --WiFi

Follow the instructions to connect to a WiFi AP. Additionally, you can start running the Edison's default web server again with:

systemctl enable edison_config.service
reboot

Note that you may want to load a different program via XDK so that the custom server does not continue to run on boot.

What other games can you make? To learn about how Vortex was made, check out the Phaser.io framework. Controlling hardware (specifically, the LCD) from the Edison is accomplished using the Johnny-Five platform.
