ArcadeShack.com - Powerful Highscore system!

[Jim_Westergren]

I have finished my site ArcadeShack.com which has only quality games.

What is special with this one compared to other GameScript sites is the highscore feature.

Every highscore submition gets a link to the high scorers site.

A link on the index.php page shows up as 385 links on MSN as each game is treated as one page.

There is no way to cheat as all the highscores are being submitted with a screenshot and approved before entering the database.

To be listed on the "Top 3 Highscorers" is very

Looking forward to get more highscore submitions, good luck!

Hello Arcadeshack

Nice site. I like the idea of the high scores, But it is very easy to cheat the thumbnail system, all you have to do is take a screen shot of the game and edit the high scrores in a graphics program using the same font. you will never know the difference.

Very nice site.

I bookmarked it :D

(but as kingeric says, its very easy for a person mediumly good at graphics to edit the screenshots)

How about incorperating an auto-score send?

Nice that you like the site.

What is auto-score and how does it work? Do I need to change the flash files then? Never done that before ...

It sounds very interesting.

Also I think that as the screenshots are available for everyone to see they have to be made very very exactly if being faked and that I think takes more time then to get the score!

Basically, auto submit would mean that the score is submitted, AND then people have to put in thier screenshots for proof after, so if any edit it, you can see.

There should be a script out there somewhere for doing it

Auto score submit means you HAVE to have permission from the author of the flash file to edit it to be able to submit scores. This is the case with th iproarcade script for IPB and VB. They removed alod of games not far back as authors hadnt given permission for the games to be editied.

I suspect though it would be similar to this sort of system but to do that it would then mean incourprating a member base.

 

[Jim_Westergren]

Well,

I am not planning to make a member system nor edit any flash files.

I think it is ok as it is and I will just make a warning in the highscore submition that any fake will be detected and the name and url will be posted as a cheater now and forever. And will also make a possibility for anyone to e-mail me about a fake screenshot.

I think that will discourage some.

Hey Jim,
Looks like your site is growing quickly!
Good work.

How is it going for the highscores idea?

 

[Jim_Westergren]

Hi,

I keep the highscores as it is, it is working very well.

I just installed a simple forum that fitted perfectly for the site.

I also did some redesign and made my own Control Panel for entering data like highscores and other things into the DB.

I am actually very pleased.
