Future of Coal Games

By coalgames | Published: December 9, 2009

As work on Coal Games resumes, this means that updates will be up on Coal Games soon. The last time Coal Games was updated was on June 2009. My goal is to be done with this current wave of updates by March 2010.

My updates planned for March 2010 are:

Users

Scheduled Tasks (prune old sessions)

Admin Panel

Forums?

Bloons Tower Defense 3 Reaches 50,000 Plays!

By coalgames | Published: December 8, 2009

I remember back then, when Bloons Tower Defense 3 reached 10,000 game plays and it felt just like yesterday. I had to recently change my database from shortint to a mediumint in the column gameplays so that this could go over 65,535 plays. I can’t wait until 100,000 plays. Although Bloons Tower Defense 4 has come out, I still like Bloons Tower Defense 3 the most.

Coal Games gets a new site description

By coalgames | Published: December 6, 2009

Ever since Coal Games has been launched (October 2008), we have been using the frontpage description “Coal Games is a flash games arcade to play fun games and has many games including racing games, shooting games, survival games, strategy games.”

I have decided to change this. Therefore, as of 6 December 2009, the description has been changed to:

“Coal Games is a flash game website that serves the best quality games so that gamers will not have to sort through a sea of games to find a good game.”

The quote above is exactly 150 characters.

Blog updates less often as more work on Coal Games is done

By coalgames | Published: December 6, 2009

I will again start to work on Coal Games Project now. Games will not be updated for a while (but as you can see, I recently added a new game). After I get finished with users, scheduled tasks, admin panel, and a lot of other important things, a lot of new games will be added and a lot of unpopular games will be removed.

I will be documenting my developments on Joshtime.

Upcoming Forum Addition

By coalgames | Published: July 29, 2009

I have been thinking about a better way to communicate with users recently. Soon, a forum will be added. I have looked at many different ones.

PhpBB: I have used this for over 2 years but has too many features and is quite slow
SMF: I have just tried this choice. SMF is somewhat simple with a lot of updates. Currently at beta 2.0, I do not want to use the old 1.1 but the current 2.0 is in beta mode so this might not be a good choice. Also, the SMF forums poses a lot of limitations so in the future, SMF might not be able to be distributed with the Coal Games Arcade Script.
PunBB: This bulletin board looks promising and the database has few tables which would be easy to integrate with the upcoming Coal Games login system.

A bridge to the forum system would be tricky to make but possible. I might have to settle for that users will have to login in at the main site and another time at the forums.

If you have any suggestions, please post a comment here.
