Hello Ambrosians,

Since there is not much to do around in forum, rather than just posting and having chat on shoutbox. I would like to suggest to add some mini-games on forum. Have seen a couple of gaming forums having these, battling out who's the best on forum games.

One of the oldies might remember, there used to be some mini-games over on S*N(years ago). Usually people were battling for highscores on these games. Im not suggesting to add few, just one or two for time being. What do you think about the idea?

Also, some of us have started recently playing on http: http://www.miniclip.com/games/8-ball-pool-multiplayer/en/
Its fun to play against each other in here, but the problem is that this game is for Miniclip only. I personally would love to play some game on Ambrosia forum while looking trough posts and topics alike.

I'm still trying to search on google about how to add games in forum, but yet 0 results. Gonna try some different way, maybe asking arcade game websites...All i could find was this video, it containts some pretty interesting stuff at start: How To Add & Play Online Games in your forum (powered by forumotion.com)

So yeah, what do you think about this, especially Raven?

I've had this idea but I cannot find any worthy games to add. I wanted something that's integrated with the forum, so that members can compete with each other rather than having external games. I remember having Chess on one of my forums which worked well but it does not support this version of the forum and hasn't been updated in a couple of years. I'm always looking if someone can update it to add it but so far nothing.. There's SMF Arcade which I tried but has terrible games..

heres an example of working one :

Quote

[(DELETE ME) html]<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="500" height="350"> <param name="menu" value="false" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.miniclip.com/swfcontent/freegames/loader.swf?url=dune_buggy1.swf&name=Dune Buggy&icon=/images/icons/dunebuggymedicon.jpg&w=500&h=350" /> <param name="quality" value="high" /> <embed src="http://www.miniclip.com/swfcontent/freegames/loader.swf?url=dune_buggy1.swf&name=Dune Buggy&icon=/images/icons/dunebuggymedicon.jpg&w=500&h=350" menu="false" quality="high" width="500" height="350" name="miniclipGame" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://ww </object>[/html]

also u will need to post atleast one letter or something at bottom of the post ( i used a period ( . ) ) or else u wont be able to post. because u need one letter or character in the post other than the embeded code heres what my post looks like to make it work :

Any specific website where you choose the games from?

I cant find any.

To further this, there is already a hack here that lets smf arcade play mochi media games. Once you get the scoring right they should save to this arcade providing the hack is used.

Looks like some people over on that forum complain about this that it aint working and therefore its useless. We dont want to crap up this forum, shortly saying.

Jonathan · « **Reply #9 on:** April 20, 2013, 08:15:39 pm »

True , but its the best way to add games since the smf version does not match with smf arcade , Correct me if im wrong !

DrDrake · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2013, 09:41:45 pm »

I suppose someone could just try this out, maybe it works. But im not 100% sure...

SMF arcade games are badly done and are just boring..

DrDrake · « **Reply #14 on:** April 22, 2013, 02:08:42 pm »

So im guessing this aint working out well anyway, right?

Raven E II R · « **Reply #15 on:** April 22, 2013, 02:12:19 pm »

I will test them and see if they are the ones I'm thinking of
