Embedding

Friday, September 18th, 2009

The games displayed on StudioFortress can now be embedded in your site. At the bottom of each game you’ll now find the ‘HTML Embed Code’ box. Copy the HTML stored in this box and then paste it where you want the applet to appear on your site, just like you would when sharing a YouTube video!

The embed code is an object tag that embeds a special page built specifically to host the applet. This mean you don’t need any faffing about with any Applet HTML and any future changes to the applets HTML are automatically passed along to your site.

This is a feature I originally thought about adding months ago when I first started construction on the site but forgot until today. Now the site is all built it was pretty straight forward to add. It’s the sharing idea that I love about it, being able to push out content to users allowing them to use that content in any way they please. We’ve been able to do this trivially with pictures, music and video for a long time so why not games?

Finally please let me know if you experience any difficulties embedding applets by contacting me via the contact box on the About page. Then I can help and solve the issues quickly.
