Well, I put my game WorldAlpha up on Greenlight. It is a browser based game, and so isn't your typical Greenlight game. So, most of the comments thus far are that the game shouldn't be on Greenlight as it is browser based. If, and its a big If, the game were to get greenlit, is there any way I could take my PHP, MySQL, JS, AJAX driven site, and somehow create a downloadable game client? I've been doing some research, and it's probably unlikely, but maybe someone else has a better idea here.
Thanks, |

Visual basic literally has a widget that gives you an IE-whatever browser view. No title bar, address bar, or similar or anything else. Quite literally as if you were to just take the 'content pane' of IE. You barely even need any understanding of visual basic to really even use it. could just choose to point it to a website and let the player navigate like they would any browser without any bonuses. However with some understanding and some clicky-draggy you could get something pretty impressive(perma-cacheing images, custom short cuts, hot keys, and similar).
linky: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-web-browser-in-visual-basic/#step1 . Downside is obviously for commercial use you should buy a visual basic license. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. If monsters ate people, it'd be in the news. |

You can do this in any common programming language really, wrap a browser control into whatever language you wish. You can use any of them, Chromium, Mozilla, IE, Opera etc.
