Use shortcodes to embed games into your posts, or to create a grid of thumbnails on a page or your home page.
Shortcode: [game /]
Additional attributes:
[game width="640" height="480" src="http://www.example.com/games/pacman.html" thumb="http://www.mysite.com/images/pacman-small.jpg" main="http://www.mysite.com/images/pacman-medium.jpg" title="PacMan" description="This is a great game! Use the arrow keys to play." flash="false"/]

The list_category attribute makes it possible to display the latest games under a certain category e.g. 'Arcade' or the latest games under all categories. Simply set up a main category called 'games' and then create all your games categories (action,adventure,sports, etc.) as sub-categories.
[get_latest_games list_category="2" /]
Shortcode: [game /]

The important attributes for creating a features games list are 'featured' which should be set to true, and 'game_url' the url where the game can be played on your site.
[game main="http://www.myblog.com/uploads/pacman-medium.jpg" title="PacMan" description="This is a great game! Use the arrow keys to play." featured="true" game_url= "http://www.myblog.com/games/pacman/" /]

good work:) I am going to install it , I have also interest in the wp Mochi plugin..
Thanx for sharing
Hi Imad
Good luck! Don’t forget to post a link to your arcade here as an example…
The mochi plugin needs a bit more development to integrate the mochi ‘bridge’ which gives the scoreboard functionality etc.

Hello Sam and thanks for this wonderful plugin.
I only have a slight problem with the get_latest_games shortcode. Every time I put in and define the category (for example 20) it lists all content from all categories. It might be a bug or might be something that I’m looking over.
Thanks for your help
Hi Acrylic
The get_latest_games shortcode will return all posts under a category, and all posts under child categories of that category. So if you have a main category called ‘games’ with an id of 1 and sub-categories of games such as ‘action’ (id =2), ‘arcade’ (id = 3), ‘fighting’ (id =4), etc. if you call category 1 in get_latest_games you will get all games, but if you call category 2 you should just get ‘action’ games.
If this doesn’t help please comment again as it is this type of feedback that helps me to develop and improve my plugins over time.

Hi Sam!
I tweaked the code a bit and now it’s doing what I need. My concept was to have the grid system represented on a separate wordpress page rather than in a single post.
So I created a new page template. The problem that I encountered was that the page template gets the content by running the loop first but the ep-embed.php runs the loop again. So what happens is that the page template loops through all the posts you have and displays the content.
What I did was that I omitted the while loop and left the if conditional in. In this way the loop only runs when you have a content in your page and retrieves it. Once it happens it activates your function call which loops through the given parameters and retrieves all the game posts.
I hope I made sense :/
Interesting plugin, no doubt - however I have interesting dilemma, is there some kind of limit how many games is needed before grid appears? On my site it’s not working, at least not yet.
thank you so much for sharing this plugin. really helpful to my game site
Hi, great plugin.
One question, if we use feeds to get mochi games can we use this plugin to show those games in posts?
Hi,
I’m trying to get this to work, but can’t quite get it right. The plugin is activated - and this is code that I’m trying to use - (I changed example.com and mysite.com to our site)
[game width="640" height="480" src="http://www.skuzziport.com/games/pacman.html" thumb="http://www.skuzziport.com/images/pacman-small.jpg" main="http://www.skuzziport.com/images/pacman-medium.jpg" title="PacMan" description="This is a great game! Use the arrow keys to play." flash="false"/]
grateful for tips!
Thanks for this little plugin…it works a treat.
I’m gonna use it to add games as I go along, and then put a category page up… in the meantime I’ll just add each game I find as a blog post.
The 1st game attempt can be found here….

Excellent plugin and simple to use.
Well it seems to me to be quite useless, the grid view shows evey post of the whole blog, fine if 2-3 is all you have, but when in the 1,000s very terrible.
When I click the game, it just reloads the page..

Sam, I tried to use the plug-in using the same example for iframes (no flash), and I believe you have a bug in your code or in your example. The thing is, if you define flash=”false” (I want to use iframes) then the variable flash will be defined as string “false” but in your code you are checking for if($flash) and that will return true whatever the value of flash variable is. As a user, if you don’t want flash, you will have to remove the flash parameter.
[game ... flash="false"] -> [game ...]
