How to create an arcade games pack

AndrewE · 04-24-2008, 12:45 AM

Would anyone be able to explain to me how you might go about creating an arcade games pack.

I want to release a free games pack to readers on my blog. It's going to be my top 30 all time favourite game list.

What I have right now are the swf files of the games and accompanying thumbnail images.

What I need to figure out is how to prepare the database files that includes game dimensions and descriptions etc.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

Thanks a lot.

You will need to develope a diff SQL for each script! You will need to know ho weach is liad out and then dup it with what you have for files.

So......in the qoute, I dont know if it is for 3 or 30? What I would do to make your life so much easier is just zip up the SWF and thumbs. Let the arcade webmaster upload them thru thier admin panel.

Thanks for responding to this Ricky. It was indeed 30. Typo corrected.

Ok, I'll take your advice and go the swf + thumbnail only route.

Thanks a lot.

What would the optimum thumbnail size be?

If you have an arcade, just add the games to it using it's administration panel and then go to your "phpmyadmin" and export your database.
