Thanks Pablo. This will be cool to try sometime, and likely useful if I want to distribute an app. Now what woudl be great is an example something like embedding the VM within a simple REPL written in C. or something like a simple Pong game where the main loop is in C and does the rendering, but the game logic run in Pharo. cheers -ben On Mon, 13 Jan 2020 at 21:34, tesonep@gmail.com <tesonep@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, I have produced an example of using the headless VM to have an embedded image in Windows. The example is hosted in Github (https://github.com/tesonep/pharo-vm-embedded-example)

The example is a CMake project to generate a new small executable that uses the VM as a library. Also, it shows how to perform the branding of applications (I have used the same Pharo icon, but we can use anything else).

In the example, I am opening one of the SDL2 examples, it opens a window where we can draw in an Athens Canvas.

It requires a Cygwin environment, but if you are able to build the headless VM you already have it!.

I will do other examples of the use case we are thinking for the headless VM!

Cheers, Pablo
