Hi,

In case you want your customers to access your games with less friction,
here's a demo to show that you can bring 3DGS games to run from the Web.
I use Java Web Start technology to make this happen.

Please get latest Java 6 runtime from here:


and try this demo.

Cheers,

Man , this sounds SWEET , going to give this a try , very interested in this.

Edit: Well not working so far , says fail to launch , even though i just installed new java , will keep messing with it.

Hi,

If you can see some stack traces in the Java Web Start dialog, could you please send it to me, and addition OS info (which Windows and version ?) could be great.

Cheers,

chanwit

OK, I've done some fixes and re-upload the game.
Please try it again.

Lots of Unknowns there
Hope this helps,

Cheers.

Hi Nemisis,

This bug is known and should be fixed in the newly uploaded one.
Could you please run "javaws -viewer",
then delete the cached game, and try clicking the URL again.

Thanks
