Who refers wins
Probably you don’t know, but I won a contest hosted by MochiAds some time ago.
I won the referral bonus of the first (as far as I know) MochiAds contest. Having my name next to a Nitrome guy is something weird… a blogger that makes tutorials about Flash games next to one of the biggest Flash games developing company.
Now let me introduce the new MochiAds contest… I know it sounds a bit “old” but I am going to introduce it in a new way… on a 50” tv screen and wearing the tshirt MochiAds sent me.

Now it’s time to become a rockstar with ‘Become a Rock Star’ Flash Games Contest… with $25,000 waiting for you.
Just read the rules at the official page and grab as much money as you can.
Now I want you to see a MochiAds cheque… now tell me how can I enter a bank with a cheque with a robot-toy on its header…

Another thing some of you probably did not see is this screen… that’s what happens when you reach the minimum payout.

Finally, I would like to know what are doing the 77 developers I referred to MochiAds… still waiting for the first payout? If so, I think entering a contest will help your game to be played massively and reach the minimum payout.

We have a complete about to How To Be a Winner at Flash Game Contests made by the guys that created Flash Game License, the first virtual broker of Flash games.
With all those opportunities to have your game played by tons of people, you can’t stay under the $100 payout for a long time.
And remember, a gold mine for Flash games, once you integrate its API, is MindJolt.
That’s it. Go and win, better if using one of my tutorials as a good start for your game… I will be glad to see one of you winning the contest, even if your chances are quite low since I am going to enter the contest. Well, the 2nd prize could be yours.
Thanx to Ada Chen for sending the T-shirts

Wow, I was always wondering how you look in real life. You definatly do not look like a geek.
hmm…. I might be one of the 77 new-sign ups
im not sure. I’m not even close to 100 dollrs yet… Tho I only have 1 game with mochiads for now…
By the way did you get my e-mail?
Where’s the forum??
Thats a nice TV you got there.
believe it or not, I am having some troubles with phpbb3…
Hi Emanule
Two scored questions:
When submitting your score to Mochi’s leaderboards,
mochi.MochiScores.showLeaderboard({boardID:”0123456789ABCDEF”, score:my_score,onClose:function ():Void { show_splash()}});
my_score is variable, am I right?
2. Can you make a mini-tutorial on how to include MindJolt’s API? I can’t see it in their page.
Thanks
how much for the ragdoll tut i cant wait!
congrasts for the price
HI there. I will give Emanuele a 100% right, that mindjolt, with there integrated API, is a gold mine. My game got nothing, expect 800 views at newgrounds, with a score at 3.25. At mindjolt. I’ve had 35k impressions.
Soon Emanuele, when I finish my tetris game, I’m going to earn that 100$. But I’m not sure that I created my Mochiads using your referall.
Hi Emanuele… I’m doing a game for that contest and I have one question. In my game, there’s a jumping ball, and it need to touch some blocks, one touch per block, because more touches are game over… But when it touch like this (http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1387/bugkk7.jpg), it makes 2 touches… How can i fiz this?
Thanks…
Hi F. J,
Where did you find how to implement MindJolt’s API?
I haven’t seen it in the page
Hi RJ. I didn’t. When I mailed them my game (rfields[a-t]mindjolt.com) I got this reply:
“To interface with our system, you simply need to add these two lines to
wherever you currently compute the final score (they
should not be attached to a button, but should instead be in the frame
that displays the final score, which will allow it to
auto-submit to us):
ScoreAPI = new LocalConnection();
ScoreAPI.send(_root.com_mindjolt_api, “submitScore”, yourscorevariable);
Those lines will open up a connection to the game loader, using a variable
that is passed in to your game called
com_mindjolt_api (which should be accessible from your _root).
The only thing you should have to change, is to replace
“yourscorevariable” with whatever variable you use to hold the final
score.
For games that have multiple modes (easy, medium, hard, etc.) and should
have scores tracked separately for each mode, you can
add an extra variable to the call, to let us know which mode the user was
playing. For example:
ScoreAPI.send(_root.com_mindjolt_api, “submitScore”, yourscorevariable,
“easy”);
OR
ScoreAPI.send(_root.com_mindjolt_api, “submitScore”, yourscorevariable,
“medium”);
Finally, it is probably best to do a:
_lockroot=true;
in the first frame of your game. We’ve had some games have problems
without explicitly setting this.”
Now you can read you to it! ;-)
a complete guide will be online in a matter of minutes
** edit **
online!
Thanks to both of you
hey i have this code:
level=1
dupMovie = function () {
for (i=0; i<=10*level; i++) {
alien.duplicateMovieClip(”alien”+i, i, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
robot.duplicateMovieClip(”robot”+i, i+10000, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
for (i=0; i<10; i++) {
ninja.duplicateMovieClip(”ninja”+i, i+20000, {_x:Math.random()*600, _y:Math.random()*450});
}
};
dupMovie();
but when i run it it doesnt increase when the level goes up
WHY???
do they not pay u ur weeks earnings if it doesent exceed $100, or do they pay u when u reach onehundred dollars and count on from the week.
ie. (if u earn $50 in week one and $50 in week two do they pay u)
@ stinkchops
It doesn’t go by week. It just continually adds up until you exceed $100, then they will pay you the balance at the end of the month. At least thats how I understood it, I only have one game w/ mochiads that I made last year and just put up three days ago, it’s not too polished looking and its only made about 50 cents. :P
Hello, do you know some banks where can receive mochiads cheque?
I dont think you a nerd after looking at your pic. If anything you kind of look like Wayne Cambell from Wayne’s World the movie.
