Playing Games in the Classroom

Once a game is made, you have 2 ways you can launch it -- the first is through the game builder and the other is through a Play.exe file (PC).

Launching a game from the BRAVO! Game Builder:
Once you have made a game, you can launch it through the Game Builder. So, for example, if you have a game made in Quiz Show, click on the Preview button at the bottom of the large menu on the left side. If your game has not been named, the game will ask you to name your game and, by default, will attempt to save the game to your desktop, unless you choose another location.

Launching a game from the Game Folder:
When you make a game and save it, the game then resides in it's own unique folder, which is identified by the name you gave it. Once created, the games reside on your hard drive, separate from the BRAVO! game builder suite. They may be transferred and played on your computer, or any another computer with a valid BRAVO! Game Builder license.

To Launch a Game from the Game Folder:
Open up the game folder (identified by the name you gave it).  In the example below, there are 3 different games within a folder named My Games, lets say for example you want to Play the My Sample Game, you would then open this folder and then look for a file named Play or Play.exe (this may vary if you have your file ext. visible or not). The Play.exe will launch the game.
On the Mac, you will just click on the Play file.

Moving a game to another Computer: If you want to move your game to a different location on your computer or play it on another computer,  you need to move (or copy) the whole folder. The game needs many of the files contained within the folder to play your game.
