Game Type
- Pre-matched Table games include any type of game where the person setting up the match wants to indicate that this game will take place between a certain number of people, and those people will play the game through from start to finish. For example, most board games fall into this category.
- Party games include any game where people are free to come and go, playing for as long as they wish. One example of a party game is a game that has short matches, where people can wander in and out and play as many matches as they wish. The minimum and maximum players options are not used for games of this type.
Number of Players
- Minimum Players: The smallest number of players needed to start a game
- Maximum Players: The largest number of players allowed in a game.
Watchable
Games that are watchable allow people who aren't playing the game to see the game board and watch the actions that other players take. This usually requires a little extra work in the game code to work properly.
Game Media
This is where you upload the game .swf file. In EZGameControl there is a method called isConnected(). All games should check this method when first loading - if it returns false (as it will when previewing in on this page), it should do something sensible (like show a splash screen), instead of trying to start up an actual game.
