Browser game

[craze]

i did not know where to post this, but i was wondering if it is possible to use the eclipse engine to make a game that can be run in a browser.  Something like runescape if you know what i mean.
thanx

ya, go to [http://www.promotionsoft.com/web-game-builder/index.html](http://www.promotionsoft.com/web-game-builder/index.html) and run it. it makes a web version of your game but it only works on explorer  :sad:

p.s. if anyone knows a better program that works crossbrowser please reply, I need one!

That web game builder's not gonna work. It will technically run but will use massive amounts of bandwidth and lag like hell. Wait for SolarEclipse 1.0 which is being made in Java so it can run perfectly fine in a browser.

And a word of advice, don't try and remake runescape.

[craze]

I'm not going to lool just used it as a example. So solar eclipse will be perfect?

[Lam3r]

Um..idk about perfect but it will be able to integrate into a browser fine, since it's Java, not VB6.

[craze]

hmm… ok sounds good just gives me hope to make my game easier for people to play in the future

jw, when do u think SolarEclipse 1.0 will come out?

[Zyvo]

No one has any Idea when SE is supposed to come out, and we have been asked by the Admins (Nicely) to stop asking and harassing about the Date it's to come out.

As for Craze:

I agree with Lam3r
SE I believe is the only Eclipse server that will be able to run on a browser.

However as you've probably noticed, Waiting for SE is not tipically a good Idea, since production on the thing was first posted to be worked on by ZettaMonkey about a year ago.

However Java is a sort of Difficult programing code to work with. (I only could ever make a calculator with Java, I know how hard it is.)

So If I would have to estimate on it's date, I'd say give him another 2 years, seeing as how much I see him on eclipse, Plus everyone has a life outside of eclipse.

Warning
If your serious about waiting expect to be for about 2-3 years.

As they said, the only realistic way of a browser-based MORPG with Eclipse is through Java & Solar Eclipse.

As to whoever said Java is hard to learn, that's not the case.If you try to learn a language, how easy it is depends on how much work you put in.

If you are determined to make a decent game, even as a hobby, you will need to put in a lot of time in effort learning to edit the engine otherwise you are VERY restricted.

If you don't put effort in you won't get anything out.

[Lam3r]

Regardless of how hard Java is to learn or not, making an entire 3D MMORPG game engine mostly by yourself is extremely difficult. Even if he can base the logic of his code on the current Eclipse, he's still gotta add a Z axis as well. There will also be tons more features in SE, but like Zyvo said, I would expect to wait at least another year.

As far as waiting for Solar Eclipse goes…
Just make your game in Eclipse Stable; you will be able to convert everything over to SE when it finally comes out.

As for running your game on a browser, Eclipse is more like World of Warcraft than Runescape; the client is monolithic in nature (which means that everything that "may" be needed is included, regardless if it will be used) so it's best for the user to download it.

good point i was just curious about running a game on a browser.
