I was speaking to a guy at British Gas and I said Pwithelfroonhippjulisfergal, and he seem to understand me perfectly.

What about giving away a game of your choice every time somebody writes an HTML game for your site. Or a Flash game if that suits?

So - who knows anything about this stuff? There's a wet kipper under a gallapigos tree for said enlightenment.

Haw haw.

6.8kb *falls off chair* What did you make it with? Cardboard? There is no way Pong should use that much?

No offence, but I don't play those little games on the net. They are fun for about 5 minutes, and then you've done it and move on. It wouldnt really add anything to the site.

Unless there was a high score table and a monthly GAD involved....

:D

(P.S. - Is it this sort of old arcade games you want, or is it original games???)

Lemme know.

Glad to see they finally let you out. How much time did you have to serve? I would have thought you capable of persuading them to let you have a computer inside, but I suppose an internet connection is pushing it a bit. Hope you get your market stall up and running again soon but stay clear of the dodgy stuff this time.

I like the idea of me throwing pies at the staff. But at the moment I am just interested in general feedback (on this games thing). I'll have to ask the techies whether it is practical to put anything up, including Shockwave games, or whether it will use up too much bandwidth.

lol... maybe they could be hiding behind thier desks... and you have to throw pies at them when they pop their heads up... getting bonus points for hitting Tonty as he runs past in the distance at the back of the office intermitantly?

If you try and play a FLASH game without the free FLASH software installed, it pops up with a warning telling you that you need to install the software, with a link to the FLASH site...

By now I do think that FLASH is big enough for this sort of coverage... most 'official' sites ... for films or musical bands, etc... use flash in some way or another on their sites... People discuss FLASH movies on TV programmes... I understand Channel4 has even signed up to have a cartoon made completly in FLASH to both show on TV and display in their site...

Although... I was under the impression SR were intending to do the FLASH games as a bit of fun... a further incentive come to the site... rather than as a new site design, which they will be keeping as is?
