Using Brick 1100 Previewer ​

After building your app/game, it's possible to see how it looks and works on Brick 1100. In this guide, let's see how we can achieve this.

1. Prerequisites ​

  • Your app/game is built using Bridge 1100.
  • Your app/game is running on a local server.

2. Expose your app/game to the internet ​

For this, we will use localhost.run, a tool that creates a tunnel to your local server, allowing you to expose your app/game to the internet.

  • Open a terminal and run the command below:
text
ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:<port_number> [email protected]

Replace <port_number> with 5500 if you are running your app/game with Live Server.

  • The below information will be displayed in the terminal.
text
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.5247]

C:\brick-1100-apps>ssh -R 80:127.0.0.1:5500 [email protected]

create an account and add your key for a longer lasting domain name. see https://localhost.run/docs/forever-free/ for more information.
  • Copy the URL displayed in the terminal, e.g. https://***.lhr.life. This is the public URL to your app/game.

3. Use Brick 1100 Previewer ​

  • Go to Brick 1100 Previewer.
  • Append the public URL from the above step at the end of the Previewer's URL. For example: https://brick1100.visnalize.com/#/online/previewer?url=https://***.lhr.life.
  • And that's it! Your app/game should then be loaded into Brick 1100. You can now interact with it and test its functionality.
