Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

I'm pretty sure he is talking about the 'Download EXE' link at the bottom of the page.

Re: what is EXE

it's just a version of the game that you don't have to have your browser open to play.

If you have a laggy browser, then you could use the exe so there's not so much lag.

Re: what is EXE

They could make it so you could download the SWF instead of the EXE. The SWF is the game, the EXE is just an executable file.

Re: what is EXE

I think there's something about political-correctness in there. There's a .swf 'projector' that plays swf files from Adobe
But you could use internet explorer
But what if you loathe internet explorer?

Re: what is EXE

The only use people make of Internet Explorer is to download another DECENT browser

Re: what is EXE

Actually I think I have it figured out
The executable must grab the most recent version. If you just download freegame.swf off of the server, you're going to get stale resources come next update.

Actually, no. The exe loads a bootstrapper swf which loads freegame.swf. The exe is just there to deal with all the extension association issues that could exist.


I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.

Re: what is EXE

What if we shared that "bootstrapper swf" for the less fortunate mac users? (haha mac ppl nubz)
Or does mac not have a .swf projector/player?
