This project was created to develop a _multiplatform desktop application_ for the **BrightScript Simulation Engine**, please visit the engine library repository and know all about the project history, features and limitations: http://github.com/lvcabral/brs-engine
The objective of this application is to extend the `brs-engine`, making it a full Roku device simulator, providing features such as:
- Web Installer (default port 80), allowing deploy of sideloaded apps and screenshots.
- ECP Service (default port 8060), that allows automation and data integration with external applications.
- ECP-2 Service (websockets), supporting the Roku mobile application to control the simulator.
- Telnet Server (port 8085), enabling remote Debugging.
- Customization of display, device model and information, controls and localization.
This way, the desktop simulator can be detected and handled by the [VS Code BrightScript Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RokuCommunity.brightscript), and other development tools, as a real Roku device, for deploy and debugging. You can find the installers for this desktop application (for all platforms) at this reporitory [Releases](https://github.com/lvcabral/brs-desktop/releases) page.
