I'm developing small game using c++ and OpenGL. I would like to post it also in Chrome Web Store.

I've seen that a lot of apps are just redirection to specific url. I can use Java Applet and JNI to launch it in chrome, but that would be only waste of memory.

For best results, you'll want to create a port of your application. A quick (and probably dirty) way to do that might be using Google native client (allows running natively compiled code in the browser).

Otherwise you'll have to take the long road of porting your code from C++ to Javascript Dart or pure HTML5.

+1 for native client, almost a -1 For even suggesting that porting to JS/HTML5 is a sane thing to do. JS is horrible for games; check out Dart at the very least if you want to go the "pure HTML5" route. – Sean Middleditch Aug 3 '12 at 21:58
@seanmiddleditch Good points, I haven't used Javascript for much. Good to know it's something to stay away from. Modified the answer to reflect that. – Byte56 Aug 4 '12 at 0:55
