New Arcade Script - input wanted - Page 3

You sure are good at blogging and talking about stuff andrew. From the first half of your article that I read, it sounds like a really good idea. Having a free or opensource framework would help promote itself and maybe get developed more by the users while you and your users could focus on plug-ins to ad funtinality to the core software. This could be a good way to make money and flood the market with more arcade scripts. I don't think SQL caching would do much and I'm not sure what you mean by no tables.

No tables means a layout that is arranged completely by CSS. Take a look at a good website and see what it looks like without it's stylesheets (this is easier if you have ff and firebug).

And, no, AndrewE still hasn't convinced us, but his article is still a really interesting read.

Twistedduck, my apolgies for hijacking your thread. I wasn't out to convince your personally, I know you have another agenda in mind. I was using the thread to launch an appeal to anyone who wanted to look beyond the box. In hindsight, I should have shifted my rabble to another thread or gone straight for a blog post in the first place. Sorry about that. I hope you and your wingman are able to come up with a kick ass script and make a ton of cash.

Keep your ideas for Twistedduck's script coming people, it's gonna rock the house!

Hey thanks, AndrewE - but no worries about "hijacking" the thread. I wanted ideas, and that was simply one of them.

Will you be including games from mochiads?

twistedduck · 06-07-2008, 03:47 AM

We were going to include a mochi ads feed parser which takes games from the feed automatically and adds it to the site.
Sound good?

Do you have a timeline for when this might be available?

twistedduck · 06-08-2008, 06:36 AM

We'll having something that works well by the end of July, but a public release will be another month after that while we test the script, create as many templates as possible and generally improve awesomeness.
So, the script will be complete by 1st September at the latest.
But as AndrewE advised, we won't be releasing an unfinished product.
