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.

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.

[The Wedge]

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?

I am working on Frogger right now, but its kinda hard!
Everytime i have played the game it redirects me to the scoreboard but i can?t add my scores!

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.

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.

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.
