Arcade Builder Features
Add/Edit/Delete Games & Categories
Using a simple administration area you can add games and place them in
categories. ArcadeBuilder fully supports both external HTML pages, SWF
files, DCR files, and custom game code. Using the custom HTML game code
option, you can add every possible online game type to your arcade, as
well as other content such as movies or music. Additionally, the order
of the categories can be easily changed.
FTP, Browser-Based Uploads, or Direct Server File Transfers
You can upload game files via FTP or your web browser. Additionally,
you can transfer files from other web servers to your website. For big
game files, this will save you a large amount of time that would
otherwise be spent downloading and uploading.
Automatic SWF Dimension Reading
ArcadeBuilder will automatically determine the dimensions of all added
SWF files to save you the time of entering these yourself.
Automatic Thumbnail Resizing
ArcadeBuilder automatically resizes the thumbnail image to the default
thumbnail size, which can be configured in the administration area.
Never again will you need to open your graphics package and do it
yourself. You are also given an option to clip the border off of images
you uploaded. These features will save you an immense amount of time.
Maximum/Minimum Game Size
ArcadeBuilder can automatically resize SWF games so they are not
smaller or larger than a specified width. You can also set up a minimum
width a game has, so games that are usually very small are scaled up.
Additionally, you can control whether games are displayed directly in
the theme, or as a new popup window.
No Encryption or Encoding
The ArcadeBuilder PHP files are not encrypted or encoded. The source code can be easily modified.
Advertisement/Banner Manager
Using the built-in advertisement manager, you can easily display
advertisements on your website. Advertisement impressions are tracked
and all settings can be modified in the admin area. You'll be able to
put ads into "locations." Then, with one line of code, you can display
all of the ads in a certain ad "location." This is a great way to keep
your ads organized, track impressions, and earn money from your website.
Game Sponsorship
Using the Game Sponsorship feature you, as the webmaster, can sell ads based on your popular games. Each game can be sponsored just once with a 250x150 banner spot on each game page, you can configure the price you want to sell the sponsored games spots, adding the banners to each game is easy from the Admin Panel game section.
Customizable Look & Feel
ArcadeBuilder has a fully customizable look and feel. With our
advanced theme system the possibilities are endless. Anyone with a
basic knowledge of HTML will easily be able to modify every aspect of
the display. Additonally, the script is preloaded with a great dark theme.
Comments & Ratings
Users can rate games on a scale of 1-10. The comments & ratings
system can be disabled. Approval can be required for comments posted by
guests, members, or both. Comment approval can be turned off so all
comments are displayed immediately.
Member Management
Visitors can register at your arcade website. Once they have registered
they will be given a profile and the option of subscribing to the site
newsletter. The number of games they play and comments they add will be
tracked. You can choose to require registration after visitors have
played a certain number of games. E-mail activation for member accounts
can be enabled or disabled. You can make trusted members site
administrators, so they too can add games and help you run your
website. The entire member system can be turned on or off in the
administration area.
Newsletter System
You can send a newsletter via e-mail to all members who have registered
on your website and subscribed to the newsletter. This is a great way
to keep visitors returning to your website.
Game Code - Add to Blog/Website/MySpace/LiveJournal
A box
containing the game HTML code is displayed on game pages. Visitors can
paste this code into their website or blog. Included in this code is a
link back to your website. This will increase your website traffic and
give you better link popularity in the search engines, which will in
turn boost your rankings and Google PageRank. This feature can be
disabled in the administration area.
100% SEO Friendly
You can configure the script to use SEO
friendly URLs using mod_rewrite (games/1/Game-Title.html) or
$_SERVER["PATH_INFO"] (index.php/games/1/Game-Title/). Standard
query_string URLs (index.php?params=games/1/Game-Title/) can also be
used. Meta keywords and descriptions can easily be set up for
individual game and category pages via the administration area.
Built-In Search Engine
All the games on your arcade can easily be searched through. Typing the
name of a game in a search box will automatically take you to the game
information/play page. Game keywords can be set up.
Link Management
Using the online administration area you can add links to external
websites and set up your own links page. ArcadeBuilder will track any
visitors these sites send you and give them higher placement on your
links page. You can track hits out as well, so you know if you're
getting a fair exchange. The look of your links page can be easily
customized. Links can also be flagged to be displayed on the homepage
as well as the links page. The number of links per row, whether or not
to display the link description, and whether or not to display how many
hits in and/or out can be changed in the administration area.
Content Pages
You can easily upload content pages to your website. You can have an
"About Us" page, page containing contact information, or whatever else
you'd like. All content pages fully support HTML.
News System
Posting news on your website can be used to notify users when you have
updated it, or just to let everyone know whats going on. The news
system is automatically enabled when the first news item is posted. To
disable the news system, just remove all news posts.
File Editor
Are you sick and tired of opening your FTP program, downloading a file,
editing it, and then uploading it again? With a built-in file editor
you'll be able to browse and edit your files right in the
administration area, as long as they are writable from PHP.
Tell-a-Friend
Any page can easily be sent to other Internet users. This is a great
viral marketing tool. Tell-a-Friend can be enabled or disabled in the
administration panel, as well as limited to only registered members.
