Compiling Simulation to ".EXE"

[Sly_Squash]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any way to export an Alice simulation in such a way that it can be run simply by double-clicking an icon on the desktop. Or, is there at least a way to double-click a file and have Alice open the project and run it automatically?

Thanks!

You can't compile java into an EXE but if you click on the SEARCH button and then enter player.bat as your search-term it will take you to a thread where you can download a batch file that might help you solve your problem.

Lance is correct, there is no way currently to execute an Alice world by double-clicking on the icon. You can either use the player.bat program, which will allow you to play the world without loading the Alice interface, or you can export your world to the web and play it in a web browser (file > export as a web page...).
