vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development

vbProArcade v1.0 Flash Games Development Thread

This thread is intended to provide support for those who wish to find new games for their Arcades, or wish to assist in the development of new games for vbProArcade, or wish to modify existing, open-source Flash games for use with vbProArcade.

Note to vbulletin.org moderators: I could not find an appropriate place for this thread, other than the Beta Hacks forum, so here it is. If you feel this should be moved somewhere else, by all means do so. An additional reason I posted it here was because, to my knowledge, only registered users can view this thread, which may contain hack code at one point or another.

For the hack itself, you will need to see this thread. The Flash Development thread that you see here is just that, and should only be for the discussion of creating/modifying games to work with vbProArcade. Any discussion of or support for the hack itself will be conducted in the other thread.

For documentation on how to modify a game to work with vbProArcade, please see the vbProArcade documentation, which will always be contained in this post. I will try and update this post whenever I update the documentation itself.

A list of current games can you find in the second post.

Before you modify ANY game's source or post it here, you must MAKE SURE that you have the author's permission to modify and redistribute the code, compiled or otherwise.

As games are modified and posted, I will update this post to list them, so that people running vbProArcade may find and install them more easily.

Give me a break, man.

Not only are the modifications for this hack significantly different from the ones in your original hack, I have continued (and will continue) to give you credit in every source file I've released for vbProArcade, since the very beginning, without any prompting from you or anybody else.

What more do you want?

Unless you actually wrote the vbTetris game, I don't think I've missed crediting you at all. The security and dynamic redirection ActionScript was written by myself. If you did, in fact, write the game, then it's my error, and I will correct it.

Looks nice futureal

Is there an option to now edit the scoreboards?

The original version of Tetris was pretty rough, as I'm sure you'll remember - it had a lot of extra things that I took out, I redid all of the buttons (remember it there used to be a tacky "Start!" round thing bottom left), changed all of the colours and generally made it look a lot better. I also added the introduction (with $bbtitle and the forum tetris block.)

I know it's not brilliant, and sorry I couldn't make it any better - but I'm pretty useless at flash, and I put a hell of a lot of effort into it. (Although I'm sure to someone better it would have taken them a few minutes.)

I was unaware that there were any differences (other than score returning) between the original vbTetris and the version contained in your hack. I don't think I ever saw the release of it before it made its way into your hack.

I will add that credit to the source file and the distribution archive.

My post here was meant more as "who originally modified each file to work with vbProArcade" and not so much "who wrote or otherwise worked on the game." It is just so I/we can keep track of who has provided what game for everybody to use.

I hope so. I have had a lot of people send me emails or PMs with source files or locations of source files containing other potential games. I haven't had much time to look at them but I hope that others will take the initiative to modify some of the stuff that is out there, or -- better yet -- even create some cool games just for the vBulletin community.

any way a frogger game could be added? just asking

[Link14716]

Find a .fla for Frogger and modify the file as futureal said, and yea.

Futureal I was just wondering about the Tetris game, who originally create this? Would he be the originally creator of the game? http://www.gauss2001.com/red.htm
