Browser Based/ No Download?

[ncw14]

Using Ags when i put a game up you have to download it to play

is there anyway that the game could be browser based with no download like the game DragonFable or do i need a new program other than AGS to do this?

if its possible using AGS please tell me how

It's not possible with AGS, you need to use flash or java.

AGS creates compiled executable (EXE) files. There's no way to load these inside of your browser.

To create in-browser games you would need to use something like Flash or Java (like Cino said...beaten to the punch!)

If anyone ever wrote a port of the AGS engine (not editor) for Flash then it would be hypothetically possible to create a Flash player for AGS games...but of course you would have to get someone with enough knowledge in Flash, and enough initiative to actually rewrite the entire engine in Flash to be able to do something like this.

I think it would be quite hard to do it in Flash (didn't say it's impossible, people did make stuff like computer emulators with Flash), I'll say it's not worth the effort but that's just my personal view. Even if it's possible with Flash or Java most AGS games could run too slow on these environments too. A better bet is ActiveX, but as all of us know it's TEH source of evil and renders superior browsers inferior.

Several years ago, someone did try to make a point & click adventure game environment called IndyJAVA, I don't know what it is up to now, someone said the project died or was sold to some company, I'm not certain of its status but I don't care about it anyway,
