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.

Erwin,
I would like to remove the mini scoreboards, but I want to keep the top score, user score, etc in the main table.. How many queries can I eliminate by removing just the mini scorebaords? I'm at work right now and don't have access to any of the files or else I'd look myself.

[Erwin]

With 16 games, if you just remove the Mini Scoreboards, you go down from 83 queries to 65 queries only. I didn't think it was enough.

This is because it takes a lot of queries to find out the user's own highscore, what rank he or she is at, how many users have played it, the overall high score, is he the high scorer etc.

[EvilLS1]

Thanks Erwin. Hmm.. In that case I think I'd be better off to remove everything that you removed.

[Erwin]

When you are down to the minimum 16 queries, no matter how many games you add, it should still stay at 16. Because all you're left is the 1 query to get the name and description.

Anyone done donkey kong yet?

Or how about that Kill Kenny southpark game I linked to earlier on page 25/26 or whatever it was. Can anyone do them?

[Erwin]

Exactly, Kars. For those who want to do this, don't forget to edit the templates:

vbproarcade_arcade - remove the $arcadebit table
remove the table headers columns for High score etc. just leave the name and description

vbproarcade_arcadebit - remove all extra columns except name and description.

Done.
