Hello all, I am almost done with the first version of my game and want to package it and let my friends try it.
But I am having problems, how do you make it most easy for people to run your game standalone?
I can't really ask them to install a compiler and all lol

Executable JAR I read something about and gave it a shot but didn't manage to get it to start

Will they need something extra to run?
Is there some way to make like an install program like other games and install + start easily?
Really looking for help here, because obviously I need to solve this or it's pretty pointless to finish my game haha
EDIT: And I can't make a webpage and start it from there, it's suposed to be like a "normal" game just run offline or whatever
To make the installer easier to use, i made a installer using nsis for windows version, but i had to create a executable inC++ to call the JVM, for mac version i created a jar bundler

( Mac is so easy ).
