Forums » Code » Quick and easy Testing with node.js

If you are a Node.js fan you can easily run your impact environment without need need of something like xampp/wamp/lamp or a apache server with php.

If you have node.js go to your game folder.
install connect.

npm install connect

make a new file in yout folder:
server.js

var connect = require('connect');
connect.createServer(
    connect.static(__dirname)
).listen(4242);
console.log('server running on http://localhost:4242')

Now just open console/terminal and run
node server

open your browser to
http://localhost:4242


Headsup! this will not work with Weltmeister.
For that you need something like this:

https://github.com/drhayes/impact-dev-server
https://github.com/namuol/node-impact-weltmeister

Or use Brackets to Develop :)
