# Sling

SVML interpreter link → Sinter link → Slink → Sling.

A sling is also something used to launch small objects... so, we use a sling to

launch small programs to devices.

This repository contains an MQTT-based protocol that allows compiled SVML

programs to be sent to devices to run, plus daemons that implement the protocol

for various platforms.

The initial use case is for Source Academy users to be able to write Source

programs in the Source Academy frontend and seamlessly run those programs on

embedded devices, but ultimately the daemons just receive a compiled binary and

pass it to a runtime, so this can be used for anything, really.

Note that because the protocol merely specifies the MQTT topics that devices

will receive programs from and publish output to, there is little code shared

between the daemons (aside from Sinter itself), which use their respective

platforms' MQTT and TLS libraries where possible.

See [Sling.md](./Sling.md) for the protocol.

## Directory layout

- `deps`: Dependencies, including Sinter itself.

- `linux`: Linux daemon. This is written with embedded Linux in mind, but will of course work on any Linux device.

- `esp32`: ESP32 daemon.

- `client-js`: Client for the browser.
