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...
