Re: [pygame] Indie Game Host

There were two responses, I'm going to respond to both in this message.
For one, games are not played in-browser. They are temporarily loaded via JAVA and then run on the players computer.
Also, I am not just someone who saw "game" in the list name, and my site supports any kind of game. JAVA is only used to temporarily store the game and run it. For instance, someone uploads a .exe in a .zip file (files must be zipped to upload). JAVA loads this zip, unzips it, and runs the exe. Nothing on the site is JAVA, they are all exe files. 

Thanks,
Matt Kremer

Quoting James Paige <Bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:


I think that was just spam from somebody who saw "game" in the list name
and assumed it would be a good place to advertise his website
that appears to only support java games.

     Hello pygame users,

     I run a website called GMArcade (http://gmarcade.com). In short, we are
     an arcade for indie game developers, where users can post their games.
     Here is a list of features:

     -Upload your game with screenshots
     -Your game can immediately be played online, without users downloading
     (JAVA must be installed). Test this out by clicking this link (just
     click "Open" if prompted to download a JNLP file):

     http://gmarcade.com/generatejnlp.php?id=10

     -Participate in discussions on our forums
     -Comment and Rate other games
     -Start your own Blog!
     -Just hang out and have fun!

     I hope to attract users from PyGame, as well as other game development
     tools. It would be great to see some of you on the site :)

     Here's the link again:

     http://gmarcade.com/

     And if you want to request any new features, just post here:

     I hope to see you around, thanks again!
