Getting around

A quick tour of the simulator. For the Python API and the full guides, head to badgewa.re/docs.

Getting Started

We recommend browsing the examples gallery and getting a feel for the building blocks of a Badgeware application. Find an example you like, hit Edit to bring it into the editor here, tweak the code and see what happens!

Alternatively, take badgeOS for a spin and get that Badgeware out of the box experience before you buy.

Running your code

• F5 or Runrun whatever's in the editor
• Stophalt the running program
• badgeOSboot the badge's menu, just like the real thing

With nothing open, Run launches badgeOS too, so you're never stuck. The Run icon turns to a reload when you're about to re-run what's already going.

Editor shortcuts

• F5run
• Ctrl / Cmd + Ssave the current file

Your files autosave as you type, so a save is really just for peace of mind.

Pressing the badge's buttons

Click the 3D badge once to give it focus, then your keyboard becomes the badge:

• ←A
• SpaceB
• →C
• ↑ ↓Up / Down
• EscHome

The 3D badge

• Double-clickzoom the screen in to frame the display; double-click again to pull back out
• ‹ ›the on-badge arrows spin it round to see the other side

Files

• Click / Spacepeek at a file (its tab shows in italic)
• Double-click / Enteropen it for keeps
• Deleteremove the selected file

The System tree is read-only. Have a rummage to see how the built-in apps tick, then borrow whatever you fancy for your own.
