I...wait...what?

What kind of text-based game? A MUD? A browser game? A play-by-post forum game? A play-by-email game?

how to you make the game playable on a website I uploaded the files to my site

Orrin · 02-09-2010, 10:03 AM

More information is required before anyone here can help you:

1. What are the files? Is it a named codebase, for example Smaug, Circle or Dead Souls.
2. What is your site? Is it a web host, mud host or maybe a vps or server?

saron · 03-02-2010, 10:26 PM

its a browser game

Zeno · 03-03-2010, 11:22 AM

More details?

It sounds like you need to get a webhost and upload it.

Newworlds · 03-03-2010, 03:43 PM

Actually it sounds like he has a host. What you need Saron is permissions to execute programs on your site. It is likely you just have basic functionality.

i have a site but i cant find out how to use html to get it on there

People are going to need a lot more specifics to assist... you may as well have gone onto a cookery forum and said "I have ingredients, what do I do with them".

As opposed to people having to play 20 questions, why dont you be a lot more specific

1) How is the game coded (language(s) used)
2) Does it require scripts to run / execute
3) Is database access required (and what type) or have you just created a load of HTML pages and connected them like an old style fighting fantasy book
4) Who is your host and what package.
5) Is it a MUD type game based on MUd coding, and do you require a mud host

Your initial enquiry, and lack of details in posts indicates to me very little in the way of experience or technical know-how when it comes to creating internet based games, or even basic web hosting.

If you're trying to get your stuff to physically appear on a website..you have to upload. If you're not sure how to upload, or don't know how ftp works..you might want to learn about that, before trying to get your game up on the net.
