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.

Any news on frogger and Donkey kong or other cool games like that?

A site I go to has frogger in their arcade but not a high score thingy for it....how would i do that if it's not possible to have a high score.

Any help would be good 8-)

Hi,
I'm having my windows users say that they are getting a blank white playing screen instead of the game once they click on the link to play asteroids. It's my first time adding a game, does anyone know what I may have done wrong?
On macs it loads and you can play asteroids no problem (of course they have other redirect issues when any game ends). But I thought it was weird that its just not showing up for PC users.

X-Ball is ok... But to me, it looks like a version of Breakthru that was never completed. I think I'll leave this one alone... Some of my members have been requesting games like Pong and Centepede... Anyone wanna try to make either of these compatable? I'd really apreciate it.

Oh, and a modified version of Hexxagon would be nice, where if you win, you keep playing games against the computer until you lose. So if I beat the computer, I get to play another game, and another, until my winning streak is put to an end. Then, your total score would get sent to the scoreboard. I'll take a look at the FLA file later and see if I can make that change.

I'd be willing to try. Find me the .fla file and i'll see what i can do.

I attempted to modify Star Wars Shooter to make it work with vbArcade. I couldn't even get the .fla to open in Flash. I kept getting a error.

It opens with Flash MX ok. Unfortunatly I don't have the skillset to do the work on the high score stuff.

Hi Digital,
I noticed people are playing now without a hitch...I had copy and pasted some html code from one of these old posts and I believe it was one of the few chunks of html code that was a bit different...I deleted it and added html code from one of my other games and it seemed fix it. It was weird because it loaded for mac users though
oh well, all's better. thank you for replying

someone add pong

The amount of games to share for the arcade would improve dramaticly if someone adds a step by step tutorial on how to search the scorevariable and how to implement the final code.
I saw that the code is pretty regular in all the games.

Also, i see that it's a problem for a couple of people to share their new games. That can create a 'if you don't share, i will not share' environment.

Can we make a request that when someone releases a new game, they also include the MySQL query to run, since some people can't manually install the games due to safe mode being on and image issues?
