OTOY Forums

Hello,

Congratulations on the release of ORBX cloud game console. My company is very interested in utilizing ORBX.js. I have some simple questions that I have been unable to answer through discovered documentation on otoy.com.

1. Is ORBX.js client side code or server side code?

2. How does ORBX incorporate with Amazon's Web Services?

3. If possible could you provide a high level diagram to the questions above?

We understand you have limited time, and that our questions may sound obscure, but hopefully the answers will provide enough information to get us developing without further assistance.

Thank you for your guidance in advance.

Respectfully,

Zak Nordyke

1. Is ORBX.js client side code or server side code?

Both. The JavaScript code is run in the browser, but is loaded from a custom web server built into the OTOY Amazon Machine Images available here:

2. How does ORBX incorporate with Amazon's Web Services?

It is built into a user mode environment inside all of the above AMIs. When you connect to your instance via the browser, you get a high performance low latency stream that remotes the user mode environment on the AMI.

3. If possible could you provide a high level diagram to the questions above?

We will be updating the documentation at http://aws.otoy.com/docs/OTOY-EC2-AMI.pdf with more high level information as we flesh out the iframe API for messaging the ORBX.js canvas from a parent page (currently a WIP)
