Can this be used on chromebooks?

I'm looking to start using RPG's in my classroom. Would students be able to play the game I create on chromebooks? I would be designing it on a windows pc.

You'd probably need to look into building APKs so they work on Chromebooks or export the project so it can be played in the browser, but you should be able to. The main issue would probably be performance of the game on said chromebook.

You don't need to build an APK.

If you are playing on Chromebook, just design your games to play in Chrome specifically.

You'll need a web host for your project though and while I'd normally recommend itch.io, you may want to avoid that in a classroom setting (unless your classroom's internet firewall tolerates itch.io and you consider embedding the game into another page to avoid students being distracted by the rest of the site). If you need to host yourself, you can either learn to set up XAMPP on your laptop and host on LAN for the classroom or you can get an affordable AWS server that you can simply power-up when you need it during class time (keeping the bill low). Hosting from your laptop isn't super complicated (install XAMPP, drop RMMV game into web-root, then start XAMPP service and share the http://ip:port/game-dir with students on LAN) and is definitely more cost effective, but if you are in a classroom full of tech-savvy students you might prefer the security of not having them all connect to your computer to access classroom materials.

Easiest way to do this, is to upload it as a browser game (on itch.io of example)
I wrote a tutorial on how to do this.

Thank you for the responses. I'll look into these options.
