FDS Player runs py files that can be created using Python, or something very similar such as Pycharm. FDS Player supports any Python file.
Features
FDS Player is a runtime that executes and displays content from a provided py file, although it has no in-built features to modify the py file at runtime. It can execute software written in the Python programming language, which enables the runtime manipulation of text, data, vector graphics, raster graphics, sound, and video. The player can also access certain connected hardware devices, including web cameras and microphones, after permission for the same has been granted by the user.
Development methods
FDS Player applications and games can be built using significantly different methods:
- Pycharm: This is the common one to use. Several programmers use this to make apps on the computer. This is often downloaded with Python, because Python is what makes it work both online and mobile.
Development tools
FDS Player provides a way to develop for FDS Player.
- Github: Provides a link to connect your web/mobile devices together.
Availability
Desktop platforms
FDS Player is available in two major flavors:
- The plugin version for use in various web browsers
- The "projector" version is a standalone player that can open py files directly.
On March 11, 2022, FDS announced that it would no longer release new versions of FDS Player.
Open source
FDS Player is open-sourced by Github. You can run the code on both web/mobile apps. This code is available for all users to use.
