Blender Publisher can write a run-time executable file. In fact it is the stand-alone player with a Blender file included. Versions for Mac OS8/9 are being worked on.
Run-times are primary aimed at distribution via CDROM or bundling in with applications. Sending run-times via e-mail is strongly discouraged, since most receivers will assume it's a virus.
You can write static or dynamic linked run-times. Static run-times will contain all needed to be run, for dynamic linked run-times you need to provide the python.dll, enabling you to deliver customized Python libraries with functions or modules you need.
Size options:
X, Y: size of the window or screen in pixels
Fullscreen options:
Fullscreen: makes the run-time fullscreen, if not selected, a window will be opened
Freq: Monitor refresh frequency for Fullscreen
Bits: color depth for fullscreen display
Stereo options (see also the section called Stereo for the Blender Player):
no stereo: disable stereo view
h/w pageflip: use the "h/w pageflip" method to display stereo
syncdoubling: use the "syncdoubling" method to display stereo
The Windows runtime comes in two versions. The normal runtime will be distributable as a single file which will run out of the box. The dynamic runtime will enable you to add your own Python extensions but you'll need to distribute the Python DLL as well. Use the dynamic runtime if you want to use aditional Python extensions but it requires that your distribution comes on a CD or with a custom installer.
