Unsuccessful experiment with Electron

Experiment with using of Electron as a platform for development of an eiditor for game engine.

Files

• addon.cc - node addon
• binding.gyp - build configuration
• main.js - core process
• index.html - browser process
• renderer - Flappy project statically linked to addon. It creates SDL window.
• test_project - FlappyEngine project, dynamically linked to addon.cc. It represents edited project.

Build

1. clone electron repository and run (I used v1.7.9)

./scripts/bootstrap.py

2. setup pathes in binding.gyp to match Electron dir
3. run npm install in project dirty
4. run ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -f to build addons
5. build dir test_project as FlappyTools project to shared lib
6. build dir renderer as FlappyTools project to shared lib
7. finally launch npm start

Last console output:

> FlappyEditor@0.0.1 start /Users/deniszdorovtsov/Projects/FlappyEditor
> electron .

This is unsuccessful experiment because I didn't manage to access NativeImage class from addon because this class is not exported. I tried to link chromiumcontent statically and dynamically but no profit. App crashed on trying to access methods of native image.
