Arcade Tips

[T-bone]

The arcade is a little weird sometimes but this thread will be for tips in using it.

For high scores, I've noticed that some games automatically submit when the game is done while others make you press a link in the game somewhere. Others let you submit at any time. Don't be too fast to jump off the page when the game is done. See if the game submits your score first. If not, look for a submit button.

So is there any way to get my mouse to work on Breakout? Without it, it's pretty much unplayable.

i played it with the mouse - you have to keep the cursor in the box i think.

[Miasmo]

Ack. Right you are. I thought I had tried it that way before. Tis all good now.

If you find you're NOT getting tournament notifications, go to the arcade, then to your personal settings and look for this:

Receive Arcade-Notifications ?
Your can select if you want to receive messages from the Arcade

set it to YES!

Advice for Zoo Keeper: Let the random flash piece stay for as long as you can. You might need it in a pinch. Of course, sometimes you run out of moves, in which case you would lose it with the rest of your pieces. Since I started saving that one, my average score has increased.

Oh, and use the PAUSE BUTTON at the bottom if you have something else that demands your attention while playing.

Thanks Mo!!! I didn't think it had a pause, either.

I have a suggestion I wouldn't mind seeing implemented.

How about the Highscores that each individual was scrolling horizontally above the members avatar? Instead of stacking up a big pile like they do now.

For most people the way it is now isn't really any big deal, but for those of us with more then a handful it can seem a bit over the top.

I know this exist as I have seen it somewhere else.
