Is it possible to run a SB program on an internet navigator ?
#1
I don't think it is possible but... can I use a SB BASIC program, such as my Concentration test, on a navigator such as Chrome ? 

I have seen on the "Publish" button that we can install Microsoft Silverlight. 
It is to be able to execute à SB program on a navigator ?

Even more, would it be possible on Chrome or Safari on a smartphone ?

Thanks

Hi,

There are various incarnations of Small Basic.  The desktop version is the original and the ONLY one that works with extensions as far as I know.

There is a Windows appstore version, web based version and the Silverlight version, and I think a linux version (souce code only).  If you want to try these and can't find links then ask, but I think most of them have been mentioned on this forum at some point.

As far as I know everything apart from desktop version is pretty limited, most others are part completed/abandoned projects started after MS stopped supporting desktop version.

Although Silverlight is depreciated, this is maybe the best of them if you can get it going (I could't with a quick check) - but it was the only one I ever saw working reasonably!

Frankly, if the Silverlight option doesn't look like it will work for you and you want a small web app like your concentration test I would probably try a simple php web program - it would need a bit of a learning curve (but thats's all fun!) and importantly a web host server (free or paid) to upload your website.

Otherwise you can zip a compiled (exe) of you program with any required dlls (SmallBasicLibarary.dll + any extensions.dlls used) with download instructons to unblock, unzip, run...
