Share the game for friends

Hey guys, how i share my game for friends test and this things ?

Someway to do it without the server?

Something like i zip my game and execute the .html go work ?

I have not tried this before but you could package it with node.js. I found this on the web:

No, executing the html file doesn’t work, you need at least a local server running.
You can:

  • share the project on github, your friends can clone it and launch it like you do (complicated if they are not devs)
  • serve the project on your own web server (you need to handle it yourself)
  • serve the project on itch.io (simple, just zip your project and upload it)

And like Daveo said, starting from a parcel or webpack template helps deploy your game.

You can also upload the final build and use GitHub Pages.

I think itchi.io go be the easy way, my friends dont know about programming :stuck_out_tongue:

And well, its good for me see how its go be inside a site.

Github pages works like itchi.io, but personal?

TL;DR:
Itch.io is good for publishing games with little effort. GitHub pages are good for fully customizing a website.

Github pages are like your own website. You can customize them however you’d like.

Itch.io does not allow you to fully costuming your pages, but this can be a good thing if you don’t want to have to make your own site.

Additionally, random people can find your games on itch.io, while that can’t happen on GitHub pages. Who knows, if your game is really good people might start paying money for your games!
