How to convert an HTML5 project to a desktop application?

[Yehonatan5EAF]

Hi, I made a browser game using Adobe Animate (by selecting HTML5 Canvas as the Platform Type). Now, I'm trying to convert it into a desktop application (targeting Windows). I tried to follow many guides on the internet in order to do so, but none of them has worked so far.

Most answers suggest converting my project to an application by using Adobe AIR for desktop or by using conversion to ActionScript 3.0. However, the game's code uses Javascript while the previously suggested platforms use ActionScript, and hence during the publishing process there are always complication errors.

Is there any way to convert my browser game to a desktop application? Thanks in advance.

Hi Nicktendo, your link refers in general to the properties and functionality of html, but I didn't see any section which talks specifically about the conversion to a desktop app (unless you are willing to be much more specific).

So does anyone else has an idea about the conversion to a desktop app? Thanks in advance.

Hi.

You can try one of the following:

- Apache Cordova;

- Electron;

- Or you can create an AIR app and load your HTML5 game into a StageWebView class instance.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
