Background

3Djam discovered that many 3D game developers was facing a big chalange when they want to web enable their games. Most of these games must run on a game engine, which is written in C++ and which uses the GPU (3D graphics card). But only few of the game engines are available as a webbrowser plugin. And many game developers was complaining that it is a difficult task to make web browser plugins for many different browsers and sometimes also different platforms (XP, Vista, Linux, Mac, etc.) In addition a good looking 3D game require lots of data files to be downloaded to the client PC for each level in the game and there are copyright issues to take care of and the files, plugin and game engines must be updated automatically when new versions of the game is released. If all that is not bad enough then there are several security issues to solve. Because when you want to run unmanaged C++ code on the local PC and you want to store data files on the local harddrive then your plugin have to be signed with a Digital Signature to avoid browser security conflicts. As you can emagine game programmers went looking for a product which could solve all of the above troubles in one go and make them focus on their game. But until now there was no such product. Roozz plugin is the first one.

Now for as little as 100 Euro you can avoid several days of very hard work. The Roozz plugin from 3Djam.com allows you to publish any standard .exe application from a webserver and the Roozz plugin will embbed the main window of that .exe application inside the webpage. The Roozz plugin takes care of downloading and caching files on the client PC and when you update the files on the server they are automatically update on the client PC next time he visit your page where the Roozz plugin is embedded. Since the Roozz plugin transforms any standard .exe (Win form) application into a webpage plugin you are free to use any programming language you like to develop your application. And what's even better. You don't have to recompile your old stand alone .exe (win form) application to web enable it. You just run the Roozz wizard through a few simple steps, which allow you to select the files needed for the application, then the Roozz Wizard pack the files are you can copy them to your web hotel and you need nothing else to web enable your existing application. I tell you, It cannot get any simpler that this.
