My first flash game!

talk random
1

i am almost done with the game that im making. its going to be a pong type of game. I hope it works out well.

I plan to set up a contest, with who ever gets the score of 100, will get there site announced as the winner on my main page of my flash page. But the problem is, how would i be able to tell if its real, or edited in photoshop.

Thanks

so can we play?

don’t have them send you an image. Use a php script or something to send the value to yourself in an e-mail, so they can’t edit it.

4

i dont have Php, they want tme to pay 60. and im cheap. :frowning:

28- you can if you want, but there isnt a ball yet. :stuck_out_tongue:

5

then how do you have a contact form?

6

dot easy provided it, its one of their features.

7

then you shouldn’t hold a contest. no way to really tell if its edited…

8

oh okay. i need to do that, cause i need a contact form, but im too lazy to pay for PHP. thats why im switching after my plan runs out, cause i also need more space and bandwith.

9

the only way i could think of would be have some wierd complex screen with random crap show up if they get 100 points… and not tell them what it looks like

10

Jubba, is there a way i could set up a score board?

i would have no idea how to do that

Yeah, you would need PHP and a database (textfile)

If you have a windows server, they may have ASP CDONTS installed, so you could use ASP to make a form (like mine) which works very similar to PHP… and they shouldn’t charge for it…

Rev: You’d be surprised. PHP is a free language to download and install, yet hosting companies charge for their users to have it, I think that is a rip off. They do the same with ASP, it is a free language, but hosting companies are greedy and know they can make money off of people wanting it. Thats not to say all hosting companies do it, but they are out there.

thanks jubba, but thats more than enough options, plus I dont have a job, so 95 bucks a year wont come easily. i’ll probably switch to dr2.net, cause i get what i need for like 30 bucks a year.:slight_smile:

but i’ll keep ipowerweb in mind, cause 500MB of space is something to brag about.:wink:

i new you would enjoy it :stuck_out_tongue:

its made in MX, thank you very much!:trout:

and i dont have photo shop any more.;(

well yes and no lost.

PHP is free however, for a hosting service to allow it for use, they need to install it and maintain it and make sure that it is constantly upgraded and maintained in porper working order, so I understand the need to pay, but some of these prices are a little steep…

ipowerweb is the best invention since me

you should definately check it out

but with windows servers, I have found that a lot of them have CDONTS installed. ASP doesn’t require any activation to my knowledge, so that is why I said no charge…
