Hi guys,
I just got a request for Centipede. Has anyone ran across this one anywhere?
p.s thank you for Pong and Asteroids! They are loving it.

i got a new pong game, but im not sure how to make it faster, its wayyy to slow and if there is a way to make it faster somebody post and leave there AIM so i can talk to em, i would post it, but i'd rather have somebody help me so i can learn for furture posts!!

For the query drop I'd rather get rid of those mini-scoreboards underneath than remove columns from the main table on the proarcade homepage. Is deleting those columns really that much more of an advantage?

You'll always have this problem if you are running your own server. I am running an Apache/1.3.27 Server on Windows XP Pro and I have never been able to play games from my own computer. Luckily there's another computer on the home network that I can play from, but some people might just be SOL if this is their setup.

If you are your own server, you cannot play games and have their scores saved! The best way around this is to get someone else to test the games for you, and see if the scores show up.

a) thanks for witch hunt, that laugh rules, lol.
b) Thanks for the less queries Erwin, i'm thinking about putting it in.

i'm glad you liked it. :)

here's the query for Witch Hunt:

Enjoy! :D

hey digital, do you think you could try this pinball game? Others have tried but can't seem to get it to work, maybe you can.

sure i'll try.

Heres a working pinball
Score Var : $sscore

I've already posted this, Zelda-King. READ THE THREAD.

But just for you, I'll post it again. Dropping the mini-scoreboards only reduce the queries for me from 83 to 65 - around 1 query per game - the savings is minimal. The bulk of the queries come from calculating the high score, your high score, your rank, number of players who played if for EACH game, hence the high queries.

Games that are Buggy

1. X-ball

Can only go up to level 10 and max high score at 8,180 - then the ball justs hangs - very annoying. :)

2. Pong

Impossible to beat the computer - he let's you win one each time you lose one - so he is always 1 up to you. Was this an April Fools prank???

Anyway, just informing people. Otherwise, good work, all doing the Flash integration.

What's the score variable? :)

Here's a Pinball Thumbnail while we wait for the score variable...

sorry about that, the variable is $sscore

i didnt check out the pong that was posted "if there is one posted" but after reading the buggy games post, this one doesnt do that. here is one i use.

Score Var: $pongscore

---took out to get permission to post

I get this problem with Pinball:

A data mismatch has been discovered between the game and the arcade, normally as the result of a cheating attempt. This attempt has been logged, and the score invalidated. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact the system administrator.

Strange... what's the game hash?

i have arcade v1 and i believe that hash is made for v2. try hash 5 like the other games

Pong is working fine... Thanks! :)

I did... Mmm... strange. So you're sure it's $sscore... 2 s's... (1 s didn't work anyway)... Shall look into it...

It probably IS the MD5 hash offset that's the problem...

The instructions in Admin CP say this:

Game Hash Offset
Offset (between 0 and 31) to apply to the MD5 security check -- MUST MATCH the value in the game's FLA file, if unsure do not modify

What is it in the Pinball FLA?

i'm trying to modify the pinball game i get this error:

vbProArcade Error: Invalid game name specified (todo: put something pretty here later)

heres the code i used:

// set up vars to return
vpaver = "100B2";
text = score;
action = "gameover";
game = gamename;
score_loc = location + "proarcade.php";

// this needs to match the Admin CP value
// and should be between 0 and 31
hashoffset = 5;

// do security shuffle to return newhash
subhash1 = gamehash.substr(0,hashoffset);
subhash2 = gamehash.substr(hashoffset);
newhash = subhash2.concat(subhash1);

// redirect back to vbProArcade
getURL (score_loc, "_self", "POST");

anyone know why its doing this?

They only had 10 levels made in X-ball. thats why the ball just hangs there.

no, it wasn't an april fools joke. the computer is just hard to beat :D

did you get permission to post that? it says its made for the gaminguniverse.com.

even if it was i doubt it's copyrighted :p

well look at this post :p :

well it's really just being nice to honor the wishes of the creator, but it's still not copyrighted, or I doubt it. I think if you want you can, it's just nice to honor the requests of the creator. Then again, not everyone likes being nice :p

goin on the hunt now!!!

didnt realize it was this hard to find good games for flash ;/

Hi! Where can i get the working version of Pong?
The other Pong is crap, you can?t win this game.

And, i have installed the Pinball-Game but get the same Error as Erwin! What can we do here, the game is cool!

Thanks in Advance
Kars

no you don't need to enter the query.
they just post them because some people have problems adding the games through the admin CP.

i just bought flash because i thought i might as well have a bash at it :)

but i have a problem :( where is the source for the games ???

i cant find it in the menu ????

thanks very much for any advice i like the look of flash but still cant find the source and i have looked at the manual aswell :(

you need to have the .fla not the .swf. :)

Hi,

Thanks for your work so far on some flash games, did you get anywhere with getting the Shark game converted?

Thanks.
