Abstract

Techniques are described herein that are capable of simulating an effect of a requested change to native code during development of the native code. During development of native code, a user-initiated instruction, which indicates that a change is to be made to the native code, is received. A display instruction, which includes a description of the change and a description of an effect that the change is configured to cause, is generated. An output is generated by executing the native code in absence of the change being made to the native code. Automatic execution of a modification instruction is triggered, which causes a visual representation of the output to be modified. The execution of the modification instruction causes the visual representation to include a simulation of the effect using the description of the change and the description of the effect.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a processor system;
and
a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that are executable by the processor system to at least:
during development of native code, receive a user-initiated instruction, which indicates that a change is to be made to the native code;
as a result of receiving the user-initiated instruction, generate a display instruction that includes a description of the change and that further includes a description of an effect that the change is configured to cause;
generate an output by executing the native code in absence of the change being made to the native code;
and
trigger automatic execution of a modification instruction, which causes a visual representation of the output to be modified, as a result of a triggering event, the execution of the modification instruction causing the visual representation to include a simulation of the effect, which the change is configured to cause, despite the native code being executed in absence of the change being made to the native code, using the description of the change and the description of the effect that are included in the display instruction.

A method implemented by a computing system, the method comprising:

during development of native code, receiving a user-initiated instruction, which indicates that a change is to be made to the native code;
as a result of receiving the user-initiated instruction, generating a display instruction that includes a description of the change and that further includes a description of an effect that the change is configured to cause;
generating an output by executing the native code in absence of the change being made to the native code;
and
triggering automatic execution of a modification instruction, which causes a visual representation of the output to be modified, as a result of a triggering event, the execution of the modification instruction causing the visual representation to include a simulation of the effect, which the change is configured to cause, despite the native code being executed in absence of the change being made to the native code, using the description of the change and the description of the effect that are included in the display instruction.
