How to run .brs file only and check the outkiput(in terminal or Vs code for logic written

Hi all,

Hope you all doing good!!

I am completely new to development and started with roku app development learnings.

As as beginner, I want to start with basic programming(simple learner logic implementations).

In the above case how I can run only the logic written file (.brs) and check the output for my code, without using all the components(like manifest file, components folder, images folder,) and without  connecting to TV screen.

Kindly requesting you all read my query and provide solution.

You can't do what you want.  At the very least you need a zip file with a manifest and a source directory with your BRS file.  Roku has plenty of samples on their developer pages and github to get you started.

You can try https://github.com/lvcabral/brs-emu 

This will run plain brs and you can use draw2d you cannot build Scenegraph channels with this.
