Steps used to install and configure a Runtime game are listed below:
|
1.
|
Install AllPlay 2 Runtime on a computer.
|
|
2.
|
Register the program.
|
|
3.
|
Specify options for editing setup via the Runtime Options dialog box (shown below).
|
|
4.
|
Include the resulting runtime.ini file along with the Setup.exe and your game file on the desired distribution medium.
Note: When AllPlay 2 Runtime is installed by the end user, the customized Runtime.ini will automatically be copied onto the application folder, thus copying the custom options, along with the registration information, onto the end user's computer. |
Press Shift-Control-R-T within the AllPlay 2 Runtime program to access the Runtime Options dialog box:
Selecting Enable Setup During Runtime will allow end users to access AllPlay 2's Setup menu, where they may change a variety of settings (but not the questions). They may, for example, set game or answer timers, customize logos or game music, etc. If Enable Setup During Runtime is not selected, end users will only be able to execute the game "as is."
If Open Preset Game on Start Up is turned on, then the File/Open menu will be disabled. The named game will be run automatically as soon as the AllPlay 2 Runtime program is run.
