Hi Damocles,

I really don't know about this. But now installing a new JRE from Sun website is much more easier.
Also, Sun has a very promising on a new coming light-weight version of JVM very soon.
See it here. From the news, it's an 3-4 Mb JVM which is very competitive to Flash.

FYI,

WOW is appropriate now, chanwit, you are a geniuse! 5 Stars and then some
So, how would one go about developing for this system of yours as this has been my aim from the first time I decided to get into game dev.

Thanks for all your hard work as just seeing this work has blown me away, respect!

Hi Nemisis,

Thanks for your WOW

You may get an idea that this technology (called JackStart) will be making you games easier to access by world-wide customers.

And also this will bring your 3D skills to create Web contents.

An additional idea is that you can make a game, let people play it for free on your website, and make money using Google Ad-sense or other ads.

I'm sure that JackStart can really help you a good 3d Game/Web business .

If you like to get your game published with JackStart, I'm now offering a service per title.
- You fill an XML form, and send it to me.
- I then create a software for you and give you instructions to pack you game.
- A digital signature also provided from me, as it needs to sign all game packages. If you have your own digital signature, tell me. I can offer an unsigned JAR package.

Then your game will be ready for deploying on the Web.

Cheers,

If the end-user has disabled cache (temporary files) in java. The demo doesn't work. For the rest it looks very impressive!

Hi D3D,

Yes, it's a limitation at the moment. Games need to be extracted and run locally because 3DGS games use DLLs, not pure Java classes.

Cheers,

Cool chanwit.

Could you clarify what you mean by "You can fill an XML form"? and how would I go about doing that? Never did XML studies.

Hi Nemisis,

Dont worry. I'll be preparing a web page to help fill this. Anyway, the web hasn't finished yet. So if you want your game with JackStart right now, you need to fill an XML form manually. I'll give you the template. All information there will be used to create a .jnlp and an executable .jar for you. That's it.

Cheers,

chanwit

Thanks chanwit, I'll just wait till your set up, cheers.

That looks great. However, when I click the link (using firefox), It do not play in browser but ask me to open (with java) or save. Then it run an application.

Seems the jnlp extension is not allowed to run in my browser

Hi maxxoros,

Current version of JackStart will run your game outside the browser.
The embedding feature has been developed and being tested.

Do you prefer users to play the game in-side browser window?
If there are enough demands, this feature can be prioritised.

Cheers,

chanwit
