Blender 3D Game as a FaceBook application? - Jaython Smith - 12-13-2012 11:48 AM

I have a blender game in .exe format and was wondering how I could make it a facebook application. Or maybe put it on one of those free website makers? Anyway to put it on the internet publicly?

First off, no, you can't make an .exe a facebook app. You have to have the source in order to make it a facebook app and then it has to be compatible with their "platform." I'd need more details to know just what you're wanting but I think it would be best for you to read about facebook development here: http://developers.facebook.com/

Now in regards to just making it publicly available, that depends whether or not you're looking for free or are willing to put some money down for web hosting. If you're willing to pay for hosting, any host from Yahoo to Host Excellence (http://www.hostexcellence.com) will let you upload it via an FTP program and distribute it so long as you remain under your monthly traffic allowance. If you're looking for free though, the size of the file will need to be fairly small (we're talking less than 10 meg) and the host must not specify that file distribution is against the rules.

Now if you don't mind other people being able to see the source code of your file, you can always start a project at SourceForge and put the code and finished executables there for distribution.
