The arcade provides entertainment for the users with a multitude of flash and Html5 games. Permission to use the arcade is defined by the administrator, but certain services can also be enabled/disabled in your User Control Panel. Even with this you may find the following guide useful.
Depending on the settings of the administrator of the arcade, it may be possible that registration is not necessary to use the games. Please note that if you register and enter the arcade, then many additional useful functions can be accessed within. (For example, you can save your score and progress, comment games, save your games as favorites, rate the games, send a challenge to other users for a duel, participate in a started tournament, and other useful things.) Of course, use of these features depends on the settings of the administrator. Because of your permissions or membergroup, some of them may or may not not be available for you.
The game rating is a useful feature. It makes it easy for users to search according to how users have rated it and if a game is rated good then it will be more popular. The statistics of the game is always at the top of the screen so users can find easily the best rated games.
A random game, chosen by the system, is a beautiful thing because it is not chosen from a specific category. So, it will not be boring in the long run, because you do not always play in the same category, for example.
At first wait a moment, please. Some games load a little bit longer, because of their size. A broken game should be reported to the administrator, so that he/she can solve the problem as quickly as possible. Each game contains a link for an error message to be used for this. Please use this link, because it contains all specific information about the game, that is important for us, and you can choose what type of problem has occurred. A more extensive error description is desirable. Please also let us know which browser and which version was used, because it is not certain that this error also occurs in other browsers. Also, you might want to describe the device that made the error (e.g. Pc, tablet or mobile). For HTML5 Games, it’s also possible to see which resolution the screen used.
Yes, in the arcade, you have to click on the user’s avatar to open the user information, and then click on the link “View all user’s highscores” under his avatar.
The super champion is the top champion of all users, who holds the highest-ever achieved record of games. The super champion has no regular trophy, unless he holds a record at the first place in the current period, too. If the administrator resets the arcade it is possible to retain the super champions highscores, so you can always view the highest result ever achieved for the game.
The ranking takes into account the amount of trophies earned, the more trophy has a user is better rank. The rank image determination administrator, add the picture, in a way that connects the trophy given quantity of some rank images.
If you are registered all your settings are stored in the database. To alter them click the UCP link (generally at the top of the page). Here you can change all your settings.
If you don’t want to be challenged by other users to a duel, you can choose to disable this function. If you turn it off you will not be able to challenge another user, too. Please note, challenge can also be disabled for all users by the administrator.
What to do when a game's screen size is too big or too small?
Some games may not fit into the design of forum, so it is possible to close the information block, thereby increasing the game space. It is also possible to zoom in or zoom out on the games, you can play in full screen or perhaps in a new window, if the administrator has allowed that permission.
The game is running in the comfort of a darkened room.
The buttons and links are inactive outside of the game, so you can not accidentally click on it. This prevents the loading of another page during the game.
Some categories are protected by an age limit, why?
It is possible for administrators to collect easy games for children in a category, and minors only can play in it. It is also possible that games are in a category that are not suitable for minors, and these should only be played by adults.
If the search function is active, you will find a search box around the middle of the page, where you can enter the name of the game. In addition you have the option to search for the initials of the game, just click on the action letter.
What is the advantage to mark a game as favorite game?
When you highlight a game as favorite game, it is no longer necessary to seek it among the large number of games. In your favorites list you can find it quickly, and you will save a lot of time.
On the challenge page you click on the button "challenge", and then choose the required settings from the form. Here you have the following options:
Select a game from the list.
Select a favorite game. Possible only if you have marked some favorite games.
Select the opponent from user list.
Select a friend. Possible only if you have marked users as friends.
After you have chosen a game and opponent, you can send this request by clicking the “Challenge”. To start the challenge the opponent has to respond to the request.
Note: If a points system is installed and active, you can also specify a bet. The bet can be freely selectable, or it can be predefined by administrator.
These are launched challenges which have been accepted and which can be played by both parties now. If an error is reported for this game the challenge will be canceled.
If you play in normal window, you can find boxes at the side including the box “Game options”. In this box you will find the link “Challenge champion”. You can simply challenge the record holder by clicking on this link. He/she has to accept the challenge before the duel can start.
A challenge has arrived for me, is there a way to practice?
Yes, wait to accept the challenge and you can play this game without being in the duel. But once you have accepted the challenge it will be evaluated and there is no chance for further practice.
I was challenged and lost a lot of my balance, why?
If a user challenged you and has set a bet, for example, 100 points, then this will be deducted from your balance at the same time challenge is incoming. If the game costs 5 points, for example, this is deducted, too. So the system will deduct a total of 105 points from your balance to cover the full cost of the challenge. In case you decline this challenge you will be immediately refunded this sum. Even if the challenge is accepted, but the game is not played, or the challenge time runs out before you start, your bet and game cost will also be refunded.
Yes Before the tournament starts you can play the games without evaluation. But if it has already started, all the games contained therein will be evaluated for tournament, regardless of which place they are started, and there is no way for further practice.
A points system is a complex modification the administrator can add to use in the forum or the arcade. If the points system is used in the arcade, a variety of costs and rewards can be used.
The reward is normally available in two cases: if a record is obtained, and if a Super Champion title will be won. The amount of the reward is defined by the administrator.
The jackpot is formed from the cost of the game. At the start of each game, the game costs are collected in a pot. It grows, until someone has won this jackpot, or until the limit is reached. The minimum/maximum amount of this jackpot is defined by the administrator.
The game cost is the sum, which will be deducted from your balance for each game start. Please note, that the cost of individual games or categories may be different. The amount of the cost is defined by the administrator.
The download cost is the sum, which will be deducted from your balance for each game you download. Please note, that the cost of individual games or categories may be different. The amount of the cost is defined by the administrator.
