Enable unity on chrome

Native Client (NaCl) is a new technology by Google which allows you to embed native executable code in web pages to allow deployment of very performant web apps without requiring the install of plugins. Currently, NaCl is only supported in Google Chrome on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (with Chrome OS support being worked on), but the technology is open source, so it could be ported to other browser platforms in the future.Unity 3.5 offers support to run Unity Web Player content (.unity3d files) using NaCl to allow content to be run without requiring a plugin install in Chrome. This is an early release - it should be stable to use, but it does not yet support all features supported in the Unity Web Player, because NaCl is an evolving platform, and does not support everything we can do in a browser plugin.Building and Testing games on NaClBuilding and testing games on NaCl is very simple. You need to have Google Chrome installed. Simply choose "Web Player" in Build Settings, and tick the "Enable NaCl" checkbox. This will make sure the generated unity3d file can be run on NaCl (by including GLSL ES shaders needed for NaCl, and by disabling dynamic fonts not supported by NaCl), and install the NaCl runtime and a html file to launch the game in NaCl. If you click Build & Run, Unity will install your player as an app in Chrome and launch it automatically.Shipping Games with NaClIn its current state, NaCl is not enabled for generic web pages in Chrome by default. While you can embed a NaCl player into any web page, and direct your users to manually enable NaCl in chrome://flags, the only way to currently ship NaCl games and have them work out of the box is to deploy

A few weeks ago, we did an in-depth review of Ubuntu 11.04 when compared with Fedora 15. One of the interesting little features we missed was Quicklists in Unity. Quicklists allow users to access common menus, or perform common tasks within a program by right-clicking the launcher icon. The feature is very much similar to Jump Lists in Windows 7, which could be accessed by right-clicking the Windows task bar. Applications, like Browsers and Media Players use these Jump Lists to let the user access documents and tasks associated with the current application. Unity on the other hand being freshly baked from the oven, there aren't many applications that take advantage of the Quicklist features. Here's a quick tip that will let you enable Quicklists for both Google Chrome and Firefox. Using Google Chrome and/or Chromium: Google Chrome and Chromium don't support Quicklists by default; however, with a little tweaking the feature can be enabled to support incognito mode. Here's the whole process in 2 easy steps.Step 1: Backup - Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type in the following code:sudo cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop.backupStep 2: Then, type the following line in the terminal:sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktopStep 3: Now that the file is opened, paste the following code at the end of the file. When done, press Ctrl+S and close the window. X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=NewWindow;Incognito;[NewWindow Shortcut Group]Name=New WindowExec=google-chromeTargetEnvironment=Unity[Incognito Shortcut Group]Name=New Incognito TabExec=google-chrome --incognitoTargetEnvironment=UnityWhen finished, the right-click menu for Chrome will look like this:Using Firefox:Firefox 4 can also be tweaked to show various options in the Quicklists. These options allow users to open a new window, toggle the Private browsing mode, start the Profile Manager, and use the safe mode. The safe mode starts Firefox without any extensions or plugins. The profile manager can be used to access different profiles before starting the actual session.Right-clicking on

Hello folks,Unity is great when it comes to cross-platform builds. But even more awesome if you could add another platform to the mix.What is it?I’ve been working on an editor extension that allows you to export your game as a Google Chrome App.It has been designed to work seamlessly with unity, and most of the build options look very familiar.Why?You can expand your audience and reach people through the Chrome Web Store. Also, it would be the way to go with ChromeBook users, if you want to make your game available offline for them.What’s the catch?Chrome App builder relies on the WebGL build module, but adds to the build and to the player several options and features that are not available to WebGL on the browser, yet are possible as a chrome app. It also improves some of unity’s functions, because of the limitations of the browser.It works on both unity free and pro. The webgl module is needed for the build, and unity 5.3 and up is highly recommended.What’s in the box?The Chrome App builder is composed of two parts : the builder, and the Chrome App API.The buider is basically you Player Settings and Build Settings for chrome, does things like :Taking care of the manifest file for youCreating icons in the appropriate sizePresentation settings (resolution and such)Packing and signing the appetc.Of course the builder implements many techniques to make the development easy and the integration simple (for example, it automatically signs the app and keep the key to maintain the same app id during development)So, basically, all you need to do is import it to your game, tweak the settings you like and hit the “Build and Run” button.As for the Chrome App API, it exposes the api that are used in a chrome app, the actual cool stuff, so you can use them in unity. we’re constantly working on these to make the most of them available inside unity. these include but not limited to:Window handling (fullscreen, maximize, minimize, resize, focus, always ontop, close ect). these do not require a user interaction, and can be called

Does anyone have any experience or know if it is possible to package a Unity 5 WebGL build as a chrome extension? I have a packaged game that takes a while to download on a Chromebook and was wanting to make it load faster. The only way I can think to do that is to package the WebGL build as an extension to save time from downloading the game.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Until then I have been sifting through Google’s documentation. Thank you for the aid. jaised March 27, 2015, 1:33pm 2 I’ve spent a little time investigating if the WebGL platform of a Unity 5 game could be ported or packaged as a Chrome Extension or Web App - the short answer is no.Chrome provides 2 ways for developers to administer their product to users: Chrome Extension and Chrome Web App.Chrome ExtensionThe Chrome Extension is essentially a product that executes and runs in the back end. There may be a small interface that the user messes with, but all of the logic is executed behind the scenes.Chrome Web AppThe Chrome Web app is a product that has a front end and a back end - closest representation to a Unity Game -> what the Native Client build essentially was.--ResultsThe Chrome Extension is undesirable as it doesn't allow the game to create a sandbox webpage (front end) to execute and actually display the game. Furthermore, a Chrome Web App is not possible either as there are security errors that are exposed in the WebGL java-script. The most problematic issue are the numerous uses of eval throughout the Unity created WebGL java-script. In order to fix this, all instances of eval would need to be abstracted into separate functions, and reference those functions instead. Additionally, each eval instance would
