    is this difficult??
    we can make the online games...however a client is asking us to put them on cd rom as well.
    so they work offline

    im missing something in my logic

      Your client wants an online game that's played offline? >.<

          no..we will make simple games for them.
          usually we would make it online...so no problem

          but now they just request them on CD-rom

          So they will play locally and not connect to the web

              Are your games client side, using Flash, HTML5, and Javascript? If so, just put the files on a disk. If your games run sever side and are made with PHP, that's a little trickier.

              (I say PHP for server side because given the question I think it's safe to assume the OP does no actual programming.)

              If your games ate highly compatible across platforms, meaning probably both Flash and HTML5, I'd like to get an idea what a few very simple games would cost. Give me a call or catch me on ICQ.

                  you are right, i am not a programmer, i leave that to my partner
                  yes its just client side...flash/html5
                  and will also be using a cool whiteboard for interaction instead of a mouse.

                  clients will need to have java installed, but that can be a requirement to use the games.

                  i have to leave my computer for a bit...but i will message you later if its ok...wanted to chat with you one day anyway.

                  i have a feeling im making this more complicated that it needs to be

                      Single player games can be played offline. Multiplayer games can be played online. Small games can be made to run from an .exe file or something. It's 1mb or 2mb or 5mb. Some games can be played online from a web site - flash, javascript or other scripts. The logic is there. Take a look at http://games.yahoo.com or other game sites to see games that can be played online from the site.

                          Yeah in Firefox, File menu > Save As, then choose "complete" should work if they have required plugin (Flash or Java) already installed. You can also put the Flash and Java installers on the disk, which you download from the respective companies.

                              Never underestimate local sales through offline methods of marketing....for example he can push the games in a supermarket chain through a wholesale company as physical products...90% of the world does not know you can buy games online...

                                  Create an action in the flash game so it plays full screen. In flash go to publish settings and select windows projector to make it publish an exe file that plays through flash projector. Create a .ico icon for the game. Create an autorun.inf file i think its called and burn those three along with any xml or extra things your partner has used to make the game.


                                  Here is what you would put in the autorun file
                                  Code:
                                  [autorun]
open=myFlashFile.exe
icon=myIcon.ico
                                  The only issue is that I think some newer versions of windows fuck with autorun nowdays.
                                  You can make an opening (splash) scene with option to play from the projector with an optional link to the site to play online.
