Where do I get the games?
We provide the game packs for download, there are MANY. Once you order, this is a separate download. This is included as part of the package. I believe it's over 4000 games.
Can I put this in a CMS?
Yes. Although SAA isn't pre-built as a plug-in for CMS it's quite easy to attach into a CMS by including it within your menu. You can adjust the style sheet to match your CMS style.
The easiest way to do this is to make all of your main.css elements have #arcade_ before the elements. Then in header.tpl and footer.tpl add your DIV ID's with arcade_ before them, so it would look like <div id="arcade_content"> rather than <div id="content"> and so on.. That way you can just pop in your CMS site header and footer code without worrying about mixing up the element names and having appearance problems. If you have trouble just post here!
Can I use JQuery?
Absolutely. Simply include jquery inside your template :-)
Can I really Make Money?
Yes. You can plugin any ad format of your choice, You then select where you want your various ads to appear on your site. The benefit to an arcade site is that people stick around to play games, so the odds of earning more CTR and eCPM are seemingly higher with more time to attract the visitor.
What If I have a PG-Rated Site?
You can simply re-categorize or delete any games you don't want on there so it's PG-Friendly.
Is Changing the Theme really hard?
It's quite easy if you know little bit of CSS :-) Similar to wordpress, yet much simpler.
How Much Space Will I Need?
That depends on how many games you want to install! You could put all the games on a lower-end shared Host and do fine.
How Much Bandwidth Will I Need?
This depends on how many users play any amount of games. If your host gives you 20GB of Bandwidth you could have a single 3MB game played over 6000 times in a month, this is considering the 6000 players are all unique and if the game weren't cached in the system.
Many games range from 100kb to 300kb, and can even get up to around 5MB it's difficult to determine the exact amount of bandwidth you'll use. You should be more than set with 20GB of Bandwidth for some time, afterwards you could always upgrade with the money you make off ads :)
