Making a Game for a Website

[runnerz]

Hey, you know those websites that offer free games to play online? Well I was thinking about making and and submitting a game of my own to one of these websites.

I've used a program called Multimedia Fusion 2 before to create games, but I've only used the demo. The real product costs $119. Plus, you have to pay an extra $69 to buy a .swf exporter. I think this is needed since some websites only accept .swf files.

Has anyone done this before? What might be the cheapest way to go about it?

Rather than using programs I prefer to program all my games in java. It's harder to learn, but there are almost unlimited possibilities. As for those programs, you could probably torrent them but I'm not encouraging you to do so.

I'd probably use Adobe Flash, cause then all the SWF files can be submitted to Kongregate, and if you become a popular developer, you will be paid.

Multimedia Fusion? Never heard of it. Go for a more known software.

Java applets are generally free to create. Yes, you have to know the API specifications, but there is probably a software framework (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_framework) that you could use. Be sure you read the license -- not all permit verbatim sharing and usage without specific attributions or whatever. Search a search engine (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=java+applet+gaming+framework) to get started.
