It must have just been an issue with Kite Story.Thank you for trying this and verifying that it works, at least for some python games. Some comments: you should put a progress bar for the download that shows how much has been downloaded and how much remains. In general, I am a bit unclear what the advantage of using the jnlp is. For me at least I still had to click "yes" or "run" or whatever a couple times, just like I do with exe files. I'm not a windows user normally, though, so my system may be horribly out of date and not representative of most users. -- Nathan Whitehead
No problem, I believe it should work with all .exe games...I'm not sure why Kite Runner is having problems. Anyways, as for the progress bar, I have tried many times...and cannot seem to get it to work right. I'm going to have my JAVA teacher look at it some time.
As for the advantage of using a .jnlp, I used to have a web applet, but users were complaining about load time. So I switched to .jnlp and this allowed Play Game Online buttons to be put in Forum topics as well. In IE I believe I have the settings correct to where it doesn't ask you to open or save...but I can't get it to work in Firefox.
You should only have to click "Run" once when using my site on the same computer if you save the settings and allow GMArcade.com to run JAVA without asking questions.
