HTML5 Sonic the Hedgehog game - streamed from SAS using SASjs

Sonic on SAS

TL;DR;

Run the following two lines of code in SAS 9, and open the link in the log, to stream a html page with an embedded Sonic The Hedgehog game!

filename playme url "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/allanbowe/sonic/master/sonic.sas";
%inc playme;

What? Why?

This project is just a bit of fun and a minimalist demonstration of using the SASjs framework to stream web apps from SAS.

How?

You can run the sonic.sas file directly in SAS to create the Web Services, or you can use the sasjs-cli tool to auto deploy). Just run the following commands:

npm install
sasjs auth
sasjs cbd -t [yourtarget]
