What does it do?

Games Mad! Arcade! for myBB quickly and easily adds a fully functional arcade system to your myBB forum, complete with over 1000 games. All games are pre-categorized, but they can be sorted into your own custom lists as required for you board. You can also select a featured game. There is also a high score system, however as all games are scored differently (and some not at all), players get 1 point for each game that they play. This is displayed in their profile, and also alongside their post count.

Any screenshots?
Maybe add a tournament feature?

[Rozzy]

A tournament feature would be great.
Although I'd like to see some screenshots too. :\

[gamesmad]

How would a tournament feature work? I couldn't think of a good way to implement one so any idea would be great

I'll get some screenshots as soon as I get everything looking a bit more pretty, and then probably a Beta not too long after that.

People can start tournaments, and the highest scores progress through the table, like this:

Winner
Finalist | Finalist
Qualified | Qualified | Qualified
Start | Start | Start | Start

points??? integrable whitd newpoints?

[gamesmad]

@Rozzy But how would those heats be decided?

@Walkman Do you mean the myBB points mod? If so, then yes I will definitely have a look at that.

[Rozzy]

Gamesmad... Its a games website. Your scores, compare with eachothers. It's not hard to understand. o.O

[gamesmad]

But thats not how I'm doing the scoring for this because pretty much all games have a different way of scoring so it would be pretty much impossible to figure out how to pull all the scores. Instead players get a point for each game they play. Perhaps having most games played over a certain time period progresses to the next round? But I thought that would be pretty open to cheating...
