Can I embed my java app into my tumblr page?
I bet you can. I use tumblr, and see that you can break the HTML theme so that’s your chance.
but I would have to be hosting the app on another site… since i cant upload files… right?
Yeah you have to fetch it from different source. I don’t know if applet suffers from cross domain issue too or not.
Depends. In principle a file can be both a valid image and a valid jar. I don’t know what their T&C say, though, or what processing they perform on uploaded images.
I always suggest Weebly for hosting your Java applet online free. Or gamejolt. Or Static Void Games. You have lot of options here.
Obligatory +1 for Static Void Games… ;D
PS- This is the first time I’ve seen the site recommended in the wild. Pretty cool moment for me!
Ya, some people out there already made this kind of service so why give yourself unnecessary headache.
There is a lazy way: You can just create an HTML page in google docs, do something like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Game</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<center>
<applet code="com.whatever.WhateverYouNamedYourAppletClass" archive="YOURJARFILE.jar" width="YOURWIDTH" height="YOURHEIGHT">
</applet>
</body>
</html>
And if I am not mistaken, you can put an iframe in HTML sections of your tumblr posts.
So in that case, you would use something like this:
<iframe src="PUTYOURURLHERE"></iframe>
Hopefully that helps.
I’m sure that as long as you can access the HTML of your tumblr post, you can embed Applets… But yeah as mentioned above, you might break the layouts…
I hate it when a webpage yells at me with an incredibly light color. I always liked sites like minecaft.net and Markus’ Applet pages…
Oh hi java-gaming.org site ^^
On and bye to the Starbound forums, which I like…
