Is it possible to embed an SFML game on a site?

[ZakirG]

How would one go about packaging/uploading an SFML game to a website and displaying it in a frame?

Not at all.

Not at all.

That's not entirely true. It might not be simple or easy to do, but in theory it should be possible to use emscripten to compile the SFML C++ application to Javascript and then run it in a browser. Take a look at their examples - it's pretty impressive what they have gotten to work that way.

Guess I'm not enough of a web-scale hipster to consider such a thing.

SFML is unable to work with emscripten so you can forget that idea.

How much work do you think it would take to port SFML to emscripten? Would it require rewriting the entire rendering system or only a few minor changes?

This seems like an obvious place to mention Featherkit. It is not unlike SFML and it can use it as a back end. Then, one can switch to SDL as back end and use emscripten.
