Using web browser to run quest

For the game I'm making, I kind of prefer to host it on my own space rather then upload it in some public area. How would I go about converting the game or the .quest file into something that can be accessed from a private web page by people who don't have the program?

I'm planning to add the ability to make games "private" on textadventures.co.uk, so they won't be listed in the games directory. Then you could either link to the game directly, or embed it in an iframe within your own site.

Alternatively, you could run the open-source "WebPlayer" on your own server, but you need your own Windows web server to do that.

A final option is to convert the .quest file to Javascript, then the whole game is simply an HTML page that you can embed anywhere. This is something I'm working on at the moment, and is part of how Quest games can be turned into iPhone apps. If you have a game you'd like to convert, please email me at alex@axeuk.com and I'll run it through the converter - if it works I'll send you the HTML and Javascript files.

Alright, thanks for the quick reply. I look forward to seeing the directions Quest will take in the future.
