Facebook 'apps' are essentially iFramed webpages. So your game will need to run in a webpage. TGB doesn't do that. Flash, Silverlight, HTML/Javascript and Java Applets are the most common solutions.

Granted if anyone has a resource to Tie the standalone application to a FB account for stat tracking, micro payments etc (like Bejeweled Blitz's standalone).... I'd be very interested in hearing about how that's done.

You should look at Portalarium then. They used T2D and their player tech for their Poker title.

Just an FYI...

Portalarium does have potential and luckily is now opensource.

"We've actually released the Portalarium Player to the open source community now. You can find it on GitHub here: https://github.com/Portalarium/Portalarium-Player"

We actually received this message in email from some of their support personnel.

There's some great stuff in ere since I've been MIA. Is there a way we could at least mark the threads that have this useful info.

Funny thing is I knew that I'm just rusty I guess. I was thinking about my gmail acct for some reason.
