Get your hands on the new Street Fighter 2 widget. You can grab the widget code and embed it on your website, or even your myspace or facebook profile. This flash remake of the game is a very accurate copy of the arcade original featuring all the characters and bonus levels. If you just want to play the game on a website please follow this link:

Branded Quiz Games

Date: 9th June 2009 at 12:23 pm | Filed under: flash, portfolio | Author: Sam Burdge | Tags: , , , ,

I have developed a quiz game engine based on this original multi choice quiz by animike. The improvements I made to the original flash file are:

  1. Removed the need for an external XML file, which makes it easier to distribute virally as a stand-alone file.
  2. Added the ability to add infinite arrays of questions, so the quiz will have a different set of questions each time you play.
  3. Added the potential to build arrays of questions based on statistical data, perfect for sports quizes.
  4. Added the potential to plug the game into various scoreboard and in-game advertising APIs such as MochiAds.
  5. Added brandable features such as a 'More Games' link and a preloader screen.

To test the quiz engine I released the first version of my football quiz, with 12 questions drawing from an array of 120 possible questions. It got mixed reviews on newgrounds.com, but seemed to do reasonably well on football / sports specific games sites thereafter. You can try out the first version of the quiz game here: Football Quiz

More recently I have released the first sponsored / branded version of the quiz called Premiership Football Quiz, which is sponsored by one of the UK's leading football websites - FootballFanCast.com. I have plans to work with the FootballFanCast team to develop other football quiz games, relating to specific teams, competitions, etc.

I am also hoping to branch out now into quizes relating to other sports, and to other subjects entirely, such as Pop Music, Movies, TV, Celebrities, Arcade games, World Geography, etc.

If you need a quiz game for your site, or wish to distribute a branded quiz game across a range of games sites please feel free to get in touch. I can quote on a per quiz basis, prices will depend on the level of branding, the number of questions, whether the questions are provided, whether you want me to distribute, etc. So there is no fixed price as such.

I have just created these two widgets for my plugins feed and Zap Gamez over at Widgetbox. This is the most basic type of widget called a Blidget. Widgets are cool, I will definitely make more!

Corporate Flash Animated Banner

Working with design agency Pollen London, I developed this simple, eyecatching flash banner for client Project Associates' website home page.

pollen-screen

The banner shows a constantly moving, rotating array of their team, each image linking to the specific person's profile on the site.

Check out their home page to see the banner in action:

A simple 5 page site built for music composition, sound design and music searches company 'little bits of mischief'. The site is built in php / XHTML and features Flash audio and video players. It's always a pleasure for me to build simple, classic designed sites. I particularly like the red, white, blue colour scheme in this design.

    Hi Lynette
    I don’t see how this question relates to this article, but:
    1. Draw a circle
    2. Convert your circle to a button
    3. Create a keyframe on the over state of the button
    4.select the circle in the over keyframe and covert it to a movie clip.
    5. edit the movie clip to include a motion tween
    6. on the first frame of the motion tween edit the frames properties - setting rotation to either clock-wise or counter clock-wise
