Just what the title asks. Can't figure out how I would make it able to be downloaded off the site when I want to try and get people to try it.

No, I didn't mean that. How to package it in the way to make it so that you can put it in downloadable format. Or whatever the term for it is.

Any file can be downloaded. What you're asking is how to fashion your game in a way that it makes it easy to distribute; the answer to that is file compression. Look into how one compresses data using programs like 7-Zip and WinRAR and you'll be on the right track.

Yeah, I have 7-zip and was I was still trying to figure out how to make it so that it could be played at all in a game format.
Well, thanks for answering my questions. I'm new with all this so please bear with me.

WinRar. That's the answer.

It provides a professional looking installation screen and all that jazz. It's free too.
Read this. You will be flabbergasted.

(Nothing wrong with being new, I was new just a while ago. Asking questions is great, but don't make a fool out of yourself by saying: "So, I wanna make a game. Could someone do it for me? I want one of the guys name to be Bill. And he has a hat.")
