Hello there! I was wondering; is there any easy way (or any way at all) to have a BYOND game built-in to a web-site? Or is there an easy way of making one download package which includes Dream Seeker and your game, so that people foreign to BYOND don't get confused whilst trying to obtain a working version of your game?
Thank you for any help or suggestions!

I'd just link to the BYOND site and/or download page as well. Including the BYOND install programs in the package would be a waste of space (and bandwidth) for existing BYOND users, and would risk keeping an ancient version around long past its time.

I thought the "Package Files" feature has the option of creating a .exe- if the person opening the .exe has BYOND, it acts as a .dmb, otherwise it goes and installs BYOND. | |
Intergration of a BYOND game into a website is tough. You could hack a java applet to mirror the interface of a BYOND game, but that would take a whole lot of work. You could write the BYOND game to interface with an AJAX application that would update often, but once agian we're talking about a whole lot of time spent. The easiest way to make DM interface with a website is with DMCGI, but that doesn't work in realtime without AJAX techniques (xml http request command and friends).
