[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/LLK/scratch-vm.svg?token=xzzHj4ct3SyBTpeqxnx1&branch=develop)](https://travis-ci.com/LLK/scratch-vm)
## Installation
```bash
npm install scratch-vm
```
## Setup
```js
var VirtualMachine = require('scratch-vm');
var vm = new VirtualMachine();
// Block events
workspace.addChangeListener(function(e) {
// Handle "tapping" a block
if (e instanceof Blockly.Events.Ui && e.element === 'click') {
var stackBlock = workspace.getBlockById(e.blockId).getRootBlock().id;
vm.runtime.toggleStack(stackBlock);
// Otherwise, pass along to the block listener
} else {
vm.blockListener(e);
}
});
// Run threads
vm.runtime.start();
```
## Standalone Build
```bash
make build
```
```html
<script src="/path/to/vm.js"></script>
<script>
var vm = new window.VirtualMachine();
// do things
</script>
```
## Abstract Syntax Tree
#### Overview
The Virtual Machine constructs and maintains the state of an [Abstract Syntax Tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree) (AST) by listening to events emitted by the [scratch-blocks](https://github.com/LLK/scratch-blocks) workspace via the `blockListener`. At any time, the current state of the AST can be viewed by inspecting the `vm.runtime.blocks` object.
#### Anatomy of a Block
```json
{
"id": "^1r~63Gdl7;Dh?I*OP3_",

"next": null,

}
}
},
"SUBSTACK": {
