Description: In this chapter, you will learn about the different ways to deploy your Java games using the various types of deployment frameworks. By framework, I mean standardized mechanisms for a container to deploy, launch, run, and gracefully terminate your games on multiple platforms. The frameworks covered include browser applets, executable JARs, and Java Web Start. I detail a reusable framework that will permit you to deploy your games to all three of these environments without recompiling. I achieve this by identifying the methods required for animation thread management, then defining them within a common interface.
