I'm trying to create a website for a university project where you can play some minigames I've programmed with Pygame (Python). How can I make the games executable online (like flashgames)? I'm using php

    Hi! Welcome to StackOverflow! I would suggest you to be more specific in what you need, and also to post whatever attempt you have for what you are trying to achieve.

  • You can’t. There is (unfortunately) no way to run Python with pygame as a web application. Commented Oct 2, 2018 at 22:14
  • I'm also finding a way to realize it, but I only find a good way by web socket.But I think it's will make a delay problem. Skuplt maybe a good way to realize by js. I'm looking for another way. Commented Apr 1, 2019 at 3:05

If you're not fully committed to pygame, you could investigate the pyjsdl project which is modelled on pygame. You'd still have to translate your code.

Another alternative is to create stand-alone executable of your existing pygame projects using pyinstaller and distribute those.

Kivy can generate HTML5 apps, e.g. here's a tutorial on creating pong. It's not really directed at games.

Or you could consider redeveloping using a web game library in a different language (probably javascript).

do you know which one of the above methods is better for collecting user data?
@jigz it depends on what sort of data you want to gather, the users click-speed, their browser footprint? I think you'd be better off with a framework designed for web.
I just need to record their input. For instance, consider their are playing a grid-world game with keyboard (i.e., changing the state of their agent). I want to save the game data so I can replay later. Does this make sense?
If you're already handling events @jigz, then you can extend the existing handler to log the actions for replay etc.

I have tried several options.

  1. Trinket.io didn't work well to me since it is cropping the game screen.
  2. itch.io requires a downloadable file which I didn't have
  3. I tried to use http://www.skulpt.org/, but it didn't even open.
  4. So I ended up using replit.com, since this was the only site that didn't crop the game and could host pygame app in browser
