Hey there, im looking to make a website based portfolio of some of the work ive done ready for uni. Im wanting to have a games tab and have an iframe to the game i made in greenfoot. Im aware this may not be the best place to ask however, someone may know.. Is it possible to do it through a standard Iframe or, better yet, is it possible to actually "host" the game on my site in the same way this site hosts games? Thanks in advance

Use the export to web page feature. I put one on my site like this Helicopter game made in greenfoot hosted on different site You get the jar files and all of the supporting html stuff you need.

Is this the 666 days in hell game? You could probably figure out what the jar name is and pull it out, copy the applet tag and there you would have it. Diggin at the game page the jar file can be downloaded www.greenfoot.org/applet_attachments/0002/7925/greenfoot6619984432213746490.jar and the html code you will need to load it is on the page source as well: <applet code="greenfoot.export.GreenfootScenarioViewer.class" width="818" height="670" archive="Hosted Path/greenfoot6619984432213746490.jar" </applet> Not 100% sure if that will work. but looking at that jar looks like it has all classes and and assets in there.

Okay, hope you dont mind but i'd like to pick your brains just a little more. I can now see the java frame, ive added an exception for it in my java control panel however when i hit run now, i get a null pointer exception, the frame goes while and just has that little red "click for details" thing in the top left. These are the details of the exception.

Err, no they're not :p That's not a stack trace or exception message. This:
file:/G:/FirestormEntertainment/666.jar
Looks like you are trying to run an applet from your local filesystem, which is normally not possible.

You can, download Apache for windows. Make your site in the sub directory htdocs (this is the webroot) you would access you web page by going to 127.0.0.1/index.html (not by clucking the web doc in explorer)

it looks like it is trying to call out to both the greenfoot.org site as well as yours - we are getting a security Exception of some sort. if you want to go a sub frame route that would be doable - you could possibly also use a dynamic script tag - or maybe the classes can be extracted and added to a dummy project - basically make a fake project with same class names and then patch in the classes you want over the dummy ones.
