Google adverts? External pages? MySQL?

Can you add html pages to the project?

Can you run java or php from inside the project?

Can you connect to mysql in anyway just really wondering if you can make the defold box bigger by including additional external objects save data and load data from an external source etc.

Can you save screen prints and export via php etc or does lua have to be coded to allow external pages to be used?

Lots of questions and different topics but hopefully there are some answers out there

I’ll try to answer your questions one by one:

Q: Can you add html pages to the project?
A: There is currently no support for a webview in Defold

Q: Can you run java or php from inside the project?
A: No, you can only run Lua code. BUT you can communicate via http request to a server running PHP or any other backend language.

Q: Can you connect to mysql in anyway just really wondering if you can make the defold box bigger by including additional external objects save data and load data from an external source etc.
A: See above.

Q: Can you save screen prints and export via php etc or does lua have to be coded to allow external pages to be used?
A: You can’t take screenshots but you can record video.

Just one thing i missed, can you open a browser to follow a link in lua?

Or a simple facebook like, post video to twitter kinda things?

Kind regards,

Yes, you can use sys.open_url() to open a URL in a browser.
