Points & Levels
Every user starts out as level 1 upon registration. They can earn experience and levels through various actions:
1 point for playing a game they haven’t played before
1 point for commenting a user or game
1 point for rating a user or game
1 point for receiving a rating
25 points for referring a user
When a user plays a game with the leaderboard enabled and submits a score, the user gets as many points as the number of other players (s)he beat. For example, if a user ranks third in a game that has 10 score submissions, the user receives 7 points.
To reach level 2, a user has to earn 50 points. As the level increments, so does the amount of points needed to reach the next level by 50. On the users page, you can order users by how many points they’ve collected in a certain time period. Each user can also see how they rank on the sidebar.
User Groups
Owner: the first account you create during setup; has all the privileges
Administrator: has access to the administration, but cannot view the Settings nor Advertisements tabs
Moderator: cannot access the administration, but has privileges on the site (deleting comments)
User: doesn’t have any special privileges, this is the default group
Banned: cannot log in to the site
Installation Requirements
PHP 5.3 A database with the PHP PDO extension enabled
Setup
Upload the downloaded files on a web hosting of your choice Give write permissions to /cache/ and /public/db/ folders using an FTP client or a file browser your hosting provides (usually chmod 755 or 777 if that doesn’t work) Open your browser and navigate to the site You should see the Arcade database setup page (screenshot)
Database setup
Driver: your database type (most commonly MySQL or PostgreSQL)
Host: the database server host (usually 127.0.0.1, if not, consult your hosting)
Username, password: database user and password that your host should provide
Database: name of the database you want to use
Prefix: this will be prepended to all of the table names that the script creates in the database, this is useful if you only have one database and use it for multiple sites
Once you finish the database setup, you will be prompted to create a user account. The account you create now is the most privileged user on the site, it has access to the administration and can create other administrators. Once you finish this step, you’ll be on the home page logged in as the owner.
