#ceefax.js A BBC Ceefax terminal/emulator in HTML5 & Javascript
ceefax.js is a reproduction of the original TV-based teletext system, developed by the BBC.
##Features
- Embeddable into most web pages.
- Works in any HTML5 based browser, that supports the
<canvas>element. - Fully customisable, pages are loaded via JSON!
- Pages can be looked up by typing their page numbers.
##So how do I use this?
Fortunately enough, ceefax.js can be up and running with a few lines of Javascript!
(...and a couple lines of CSS, if you really want to impress!)
// Load the data from JSON, for our personalised BBC News feed:
$.getJSON('testdata.json', function( data ) {
$.each(data, function(i, a) {
Ceefax.Pages.push(new CeefaxPage(a.page, a.category, a.headline, a.article));
});
});
// Now tell ceefax.js where to find canvas, and how often to update:
Ceefax.run("myCanvas", 1000/30);
