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.

Are these games public domain? You cannot modify games that are copyright and not released to the public for changes.

Ahh, as far as I know they are. I haven't really looked into that much, I just know that they're some fun games that I came across a while ago and keep returning to. Thought they might go well in the arcade, or at least some ones similar to them if these are unavailable.

There seems to be a problem with that Shooter game where you can only get up to 850 points. After that, the next two aircraft that fly by can't be shot, no matter how many times you try. We have about 12 users all with the same score, no one can get higher than 850 and thus can't continue with the game.

Anyone else have this problem?

Whats the problem people are having with Jewels again?

I got Jewels and a bunch of other games about 2 weeks ago off a few of the sites that were mentioned here earlier. Once I figured out the score variable I've not had a single problem. It's one of the most addictive and popular games on the forum.

I couldn't find the score variable for it.. I only tried a couple and then gave up because it just takes too long for the game to end just to find out if its actually submitting the score to the database.

I don't care much for the game, but PixelFx wants it if you're willing to share.

Not a problem - Please enjoy.

score variable: $jewelsscore
hash offset: 5

It's a very addicting game and holds true to the BeJeweled ruleset very well, it's just got better graphics.

HINT: You can get higher scores and keeop the game going forever by concentrating on the top of the board.

Make sure the path and the filenames for them are correct in the admin cp. I had the same problem with a few of them until I checked that.

I don't suppose anyone knows where to find Galaga? My lot're really pining for that game but it's not at http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Games/Full_Game_Source/.
