2010 update

Posted by Abe on April 8 2010

 

I have been working on some changes for the Online Arcade Games site.
Some of the changes are cosmetic, but a lot are functionality or stability related.
Still more changes will be made in the coming weeks to bring this arcade up to par!


These changes made included were, but not limited to:

  • Complete new template
  • Crappy games removed
  • New games added
  • File size check and warning message added
  • Help message for Master System games
  • Highscore system replaced with points system
  • Bugs fixed, redundant code removed, spring cleaned
  • New link structure, redirecting from the old URLs
  • Inactive members deleted
  • Invalid HTML and CSS code removed
  • FaceBook connect (beta) added, more later
  • Total visits and Players today counters added

Future:

Some future updates in the pipeline are: FaceBook connect, Emulator saves for members and more graphical tweaks!

Notes:
The total and individual game play counters have changed during the updates.
Total Games Played count changed from 201,616 to 155,102.
Total Members count changed from 118 to 61.

Due to the database changes, all members will need to reset their passwords before loging in since the update!

I have tested the changes to the Online Arcade Games site in FireFox v3, IE (versions 6,7, and 8), Chrome, and Opera. Please let me know if I missed anything by using the contact us page.
