Creating Games for Runtime Distribution
Previous  Top  Next

For the most part, creating games for Runtime distribution is the same as creating any other AllPlay 2 game. All you have to do is create your questions and answers, select music and logo options, and save your work.

One consideration in the game creation process that's worth noting is file size. If you plan to distribute your games via e-mail attachments, you may want to take steps to make your game file as small as possible. Floppy disks also have a limited capacity. Replacing bitmap images with .jpg or .gif files will help reduce game file size.

NOTE: We recommend saving a copy of your AllPlay gamefile to a thumbdrive or a shared network folder. Then simply paste the gamefile on the "Runtime" machine and double-click to launch the game.
