Overview

it's a little handheld you carry as an inventory item. use it and a game boy style console opens on screen, you pick a game off the menu and actually play it. seven real games, not a picture of a game. your character holds the handheld and taps at it while you play, so people around you see what you're up to.

what's in it

• seven playable games, all original (no copyrighted names, characters or assets)
• a game boy style screen: 160x144, four-shade green, scanlines, a boot flash on power-on
• self-contained chiptune sound made in webaudio, no audio files shipped
• a global per-game leaderboard (oxmysql) plus your own personal best
• optional cash payout, server-side, clamped and rate-limited, off by default
• your ped holds the handheld and taps at it while the console is open
• framework and inventory agnostic, one config to point it at yours
• en and de locales, and everything on the screen is pulled from the locale files so you can translate the whole thing without touching the ui
• controls: arrows / wasd, Z = A, X = B, Esc = exit, plus the on-screen d-pad and buttons

the games

• badlands revenge — top-down shooter, dodge and blast what comes at you
• turbo lane — three lanes, weave through traffic as it speeds up
• cash grab — catch the coins, don't catch the bombs
• viper — snake, eat and grow, don't bite yourself
• super leap — endless platformer, run, jump the gaps, stomp what's in the way
• stacker — falling blocks, clear lines before you top out
• bricker — brick breaker, bounce the ball and clear the wall

a note on payouts

arcade scores come from the client, so a cash payout is trusted the same way any client-scored minigame is. because of that it's off by default. when you turn it on the server still clamps every score, caps the coins per run and rate-limits it per player. the leaderboard carries no reward, so it's safe to leave on. more on this on the configuration page.
