I have a question.
I am postitive that everyone knows it, so there is no excuse for you not to respond.

I'd like someone to take the time to explain everything[/] to me about creating zip files and posting them, and about sending games to the game section of this site.
You know?  Just tell me all I have to do.

Thanks mucho.

To create a zip file, go to http://www.winzip.com and download the WinZip program (if you don't already have it). Now, open up WinZip, and click New. Go to the folder where you want the zip file to be created. Copy your game's Compiled folder and place it somewhere. Rename it to the title of your game. Now, use the Add button to add the files. Select the renamed folder, and then add any other files you want (i.e. ReadMe files). Now upload it somewhere on the web. Go to the Games page, and scroll down to where it says "Add Your Game." Click that link, fill out the form, and you're done. Woo.

1.Creating a zip file with your game in it.

Move the cursor on to desktop and go to New->Compressed folder and rename it
Now you should have a *.zip file on your desktop, open it by double clicking on it and
copy your game files into this  folder and that's that, you have zip with your game in it.

2.Uploading your game on the internet Using www.freewebs.com

Go to www.freewebs.com, select sign me up and register a new account following the steps.
Once registered and logged in select "site manager"
Now click on "Upload a file", select your zip that you want to upload on the internet and click ok and then submit.

3.presenting your game to the community

In the thread where you are presenting your game write
Code: ags
[url=www.freewebs.com/yoursite/yourgame.zip]My game[/url]


Of course, you don't write down www.freewebs.com/yoursite/yourgame.zip, you write down the webpage you registered and the name of your zip.
