Hi,

does someone know whether it is possible to upload a game in pygame as browser support. 

There is replit where you can run pygame online. But how do I get that on itch io. Maybe I can somehow pack it into an HTML file or "convert" it to .jar browser file.

I already saw someone who upload a" replit" game on itch io. Its weird but there it is (https://cybeartron.itch.io/rewind-to-monke)


I also know google Colab where I can run pygame games online. Is there a possibility?

Many greetings

There's one of those online IDE services that actually supports Python with Pygame (can't remember which), but dunno if it lets you embed a game in another site. Just offer the game for download.

Yes I already offer a game for download. 

But I have the feeling that browser games are played more than games that have to be downloaded first.

That's why I wanted to try to offer an alternative. (prototype). But looking at it is difficult.. I don't know how this guy did it with replit.

If that doesn't work out how to restore the deleted files, then I don't have a solution.

Please don't spam unrelated topics. You already asked in a topic of your own.

Probably by uploading an index.html that only contains an iframe. But that's iffy. Do you know if the folks at repl.it approve of embedding? The game is running on their server after all.

that's the problem. report does not accept iframe. I've already tried that. That's why I wonder how the guy did it.

What do you mean by "report"? Edit: oh, you mistyped repl.it, okay. My guess is, someone broke their terms. So maybe don't do that. :)

Google Colab does not accept iframes either. So that also falls away. Well then it will be very difficult. I just have to somehow get python to work with html. Then I can upload the html file. Otherwise I don't know how to upload python games to itch io.

As downloadable files. Really. Guess making a native web port is an option too, if you're into that. But a lot of people prefer to play offline anyway, and to actually have the game. Don't worry about it. :)

yes ok then I will upload it as a download. 

I just remembered I can just put the replit link in the description. 

But otherwise I will upload it as a download.
