Where do the games go? 2007-11-12 15:52:22


There's the link to 'games' on top. It takes you to see all sorts of categories (you propably knew that). Anyway, when I check for example the puzzle category, there are not all games that get submitted on NG. For example I was looking for mouse avoider games, and found only few. Im assuming only top games get into the categories? Where do the not-so-great-but-still-aproved games go then? How do I find some of them?


You can solve pretty much any problem you may have with AS3 by consulting the AS3 Language reference.

Everything obv can't go into the category sections, if they did, it would fucking huge and the admins would spend all their time making icons and doing comments for each and every entry. I think like 200 something new enties a day. As you can see by that, would be bother some. And every flash isn't worth playing. So only the best or more popular flashes/games go into the categories.

However, they games still are there in the portal if you can search by name.

All games sorted by score
All games sorted by title
All games sorted by date

Or use the search bar (searches Flash by title and author's comments):

Search query for "avoider"
Search query for "mouse avoider"

Or used advanced Google search (will find by title, author's comments, and reviews):

Google search of "mouse avoider" in /portal/

some don't,as otherwise, the collection page would just be a page full of shit games. on the collection page, it shows the most POPULAR games- not all. and even some collections aren't show (i know this is moving away but still related)- on the collections page, it only shows a minority of the collections- have a look

where is RAB?
where is missy dynamite
WHERE IS FOAMY

and so on- they don't show EVERYTHING, just the most popular...

Those are in "Series", not "Collections".
