I have no idea, the only games I have played in browsers are java applets, I don't really think turing can do it...

Actually, you've hit upon an interesting idea. If Turing is internally compiled to a bytecode format, two things become possible: A Java program could interpret that bytecode, or the code generator could be rewritten to generate code that could be executed by the JVM.

wtd - you're better off writing your own compiler that uses the syntax exact to one of turing Confused

If you make turing games playable in a browser, that would be almost equal the accomplishment of Runescape. Well maybe not that great an accomplishment. Runescape is the ultimate java applet game engine thingy.

Runescape, I found, was fun for around a month when I finally realized that the paid users had an advantage over us non-paid users.

Could someone please post some links to some good MMORPG (and what does it stand for?)...

back to the main topic for a sec.

i was thinking about this question and it came to me that it is posable to make a webserver in turing using the net comands. so in theroy i could be posable to code a turing porgam to run in a browser. alougth it whould be hard to code and the out put whould have to be in html. but any screen out put could be copyed as a pic saved to a loacl dir that is web asccesable and then uses <img> tag to show the screen in the browser.

alought this whould be alot of work and u whould need full ascese to the web server.

What you need is just a way for the Turing interpreter to "paint" its output inside a web browser. The rest is just getting the browser to realize that upon seeing a Turing "applet" in a page it should download the code and run it.

interesting..... something to think about...

i will have to start reading up on pic save etc.... (not that i will be making this( just cuz i think that function is cool.. and i want to make a program using it...
