Where the world comes to play

Ship #2

I present MIDL.
I’ve always wanted to play old flash games from my childhood, but since 99% websites do not allow you to export save files, I would always lose my progress.
MIDL aims to solve that.
.
All games were taken from InternetArchive, effort was made to ensure no site locked games were included (no site locks were bypassed).
.
Almost all of the features that the reviewers mentioned in the last ship have been implemented!
.
Features

  • Flash emulation via Ruffle
  • Downloading and loading of game save files
  • Search function
  • ANIMATIONS!
  • Cloud save file storage (YOU CAN SAVE YOUR SAVE FILES IN THE CLOUD)
  • Accounts system
  • LEADERBOARD!! (with custom MIDL points, although not all games support our leaderboard)
  • Player controls (play, pause fullscreen)
  • Security (popup blocking)
  • You can now upload your own SWF file!
    .
    Planned Features
  • Game snapshot as a save file
  • Emulators!
  • 8 devlogs
  • 7h
  • 16.78x multiplier
  • 119 Stardust

The my account page is finally complete. :yay:
I also implemented max (high) score calculation, just need to make the leaderboard now.

MP (MIDL points) are different from in-game points, and use a special algorithm for their calculation.

(multiplying all high scores in all levels, by the number of levels, and multiplying that by the number of stars gained, all of these values depend on the game of course)

Devlog #8

Finally created the authentication system using Express & LowDB, not committing to GitHub yet since I still have to set up the server.
I’ve seen all the reviews and will implement them.
Also added the close buttons to modals.
The requested games will be added in the next devlog. :)

I fixed a few bugs, added a few animations, and most importantly…
Wasted 2 whole hours trying to get ruffle player state to restore after reloads…… which failed
So plan B, we use the actual save files.

Done with the Ruffle player, added play/pause controls, fullscreen, and developed a custom solution for saving ruffle state (this is really exciting :yay: ), so now we can have flash games with cloud state saves :3
