How to put media in html?

Question

How do you put a file in a website, such as a game or something, and make it work online? Do you have to just put their link in the html file just like a video or an image, or do you need to do something else?

Answer 1

I don't think you can execute files like exes online, it's just not a thing. To make an online game, just code one in JavaScript, PHP, or whatever language you want. If you want a download link, just do the following, replacing the needed values:

<a href="file_to_download.extention" download>

The key there is the download attribute at the end, with no value, just the attribute.
