The Powder Toy

it also isn't possible to run exe's in website anyway. And I think he meant he hasn't heard of a windows computer that doesn't allow exe's. Some school computers don't. In that case, there really isn't much that can be done...

is there an option, where it says it might be harmful to the computer, to run it anyway? Because, I promise it isn't actually harmful in any way. Any program downloaded from the internet often gets that message. If the message is one from internet explorer, see if downloading the game from another browser works or something, I think I remember it always used to tell me that, and I always ignored it.

Because TPT is coded in C (C++ now i believe) it would be a pain to put it on the site, a very large pain...

Perhaps we need to move it into a .BAT or .SWF or something?

more often then not if a .EXE isn't allowed the .BAT or .SWF formats are.

Maybe even Java?..

The problem is re-coding the entire thing.... C/C++ is much more stable for what TPT needs, also, .bat's aren't for games...

coenmcj

You can use .Bat's for games, its just they aren't too great when it comes to performance, it would only be a compromise if you cannot have ANYTHING else.

We don't need TPT online because one person trusts IE....

I would rather have high performance than that little bit of accessibility...

i just saw a C++ to javascript converter...http://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/04/porting-me-my-shadow-to-the-web-c-to-javascriptcanvas-via-emscripten/

try that for converting the source code into Javascript.

maybe if you can sign the .exe file it will not ask for the admin rights
