if i make a game with this software how do i export it to an exe for ppl to play

and is there any way to make the game browser based so ppl dont have to download that is if you can creat a exe

[Mike]

How many games have you played that are just an exe? Not many for me That is a silly gimmick that game maker has to package it all into an exe and Sandbox does not do that. Take care.

Besides that, I don't think you can make a .exe into a browser based game without transfering things to java or flash.

If you want to go through the entire hassle of building a browser-based game, I hope you have deep pockets. It's expensive to get the servers you need for that.

And, even so, look at how it usually turns out. It becomes a giant mess. Case in point, Runescape.

Hey guys,

An interesting question. Disregarding the "exe", how would you package a game for other sandbox users to play? Surely we are not making these games for just the author to play?

I would just say you put all the files in a .zip archive and upload it. Anyone that likes to explore files (Like I... The more saddistic population of this Earth ^_^ ) should know exactly where to put the files... Just put a Readme in there just in case =]

I use 7zip, it is free and a powerful archiver and select self extracting archive (for windows users) and there is your EXE or just zip for all platforms. Take care!
