Make apps for eOctavo

eOctavo apps are small Lua scripts. Write one here, run it on a simulated device right in your browser, then copy it onto your SD card or send it to the Store. The same app runs on the X3 and the X4 Pro.

Simulator

Runs an app the way the device does: the same Lua 5.4, sandbox, limits and screen layout. Fonts are close but not exact, so check tight layouts on a device. Everything stays in your browser; nothing you write is uploaded.

Keys: arrows, Enter = OK, Esc or Backspace = BACK.
