Hi!<\/p>\n

Let’s just say for the future if I were to share my Java Applet \/ Game for you to play<\/p>\n

How would I do this so people can access it on the internet? (I’ve tried looking up tutorials but non of them have worked so far! So I thought why not ask some experts! )<\/p>\n

Is there a site that can host applet’s so that people don’t have to download the files?<\/p>\n

Or would it be easier and work better to just let them run the html file locally?<\/p>\n

I have seen Java Games be hosted before online I just don’t know how to do it!<\/p>\n

Also could you also use libraries like slick2D or LWJGL or JBox2D in your applet and they could still play it?<\/p>\n

Please help me if you have any answers!<\/p>\n

I’d like to use Java for the next LD because of the cross Platform accessibility!<\/p>\n

Comment if you have an answer!<\/p>\n

Thanks for your future help!<\/p>\n
