Adding an Arcade
Permalink
So I'm trying to build and arcade, which is like a page where visitors/members can play games on the website. What I need is some opinions structuring it.
The arcade will be like a list of the few games I've put on the website. Then when a user clicks on the linked text he'll be led to a page where he can play that game.
That sounds simple but I think it'll really be space consuming to have a so many separate pages with nothing else aside from a game!(there'll be at least 10 games) Any suggestions? If there's a more efficient way of implementing the arcade, I'd love to hear about it, thanks in advance everyone! :)
Also if any of you'll are familiar with the forum sorftware IPBoard, then there's a website that features an Arcade and a leaderboard too? By that I mean top score of the website members- how can I accomplish this?

Can you please link me to the API you're talking about? All the ones on Mochi that I found were paid! :(
I went over to your friends website, good job! What did you use to create it? Can you point me to the addons, I'll figure it out from there.
Okay, so I understand that I can decide who get's to use the arcade by restricted the groups allowed to view the page, right? Cool.
Thank you!
I'll be using games from some Armorgames.com, so I'm wondering whether the leaderboard will go well together with games from websites other than Mochi?
Lastly ads in the game are placed by me or the creator?
Thanks and Cheers! :D
New: I also don't see how you got the leaderboard to be specific to your website/ forum users as the Mochi one, posts highscores to the person's Mochi profile! :(

Here is the link to the Mochi developer stuff which includes all their API info.https://www.mochimedia.com/developers/...
I think their stuff only works with Mochi games but I have seen a lot of ArmoredGames used by Mochi. Mochi controls the ads that appear in the game but you get a slice of their ad revenue. Mochi is probably the most hassle free platform with a huge list of games.
To see all that we use at TAG, view our project pagehttp://www.concrete5.org/about/showcase/entertainment/tech-and-game...
We don't actually use all of these anymore but we do use at least 90% of them.

Hi again!
Thanks for your time! :)
So this is the link where one can download the scores API (https://www.mochimedia.com/support/dev_docs#MochiServices) but I don't know what to do from there as their instructions are for people who are game developers. How can I add this to a concrete 5 block?
If its not too complicated, please instruct me on how to go about this, since you already have the experience. I know it's a bit much to ask of you, so it's fine if your decline. Thanks so far anyway! (Y) :D

Our games are hosted on the Rackspace CDN(limelight) and just using the HTML block to embed to code to put them on the site.
