This is a basic guide on how to create a Kongregate arcade section and comment the games on your site. Games can be easily added to your default xenforo pages by embedding the games listed on this site: http://www.kongregate.com/games_for_your_site For the purposes of this resource and due to my limited time I can only teach you how to add an index with thumbnails, one game and comments using disqus. You would have to create an account at www.disqus.com if you want to add comments to your arcade. To add link to navbar you should try Jake Bunces Nodes As Tabs addon: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/.

URL Portion: bloody-fun-day
Title: Bloody Fun Day
Description:
Code:
What would Death himself do if he were surrounded by ultra-cute critters? Kill them, of course! You play the reaper, who needs to kill red cuties in order to stay alive. Killing other cuties will help charge super powers that make it easier to get to the red cuties. How long can you survive before the dwindling cutie population stifles your life? You can’t help but have a bloody fun day in this addictive puzzler.
<br><br>
<b>Instructions</b>
<br>
You are the Reaper! Click an adjacent hexagon to attack it. <br>
Click one of the buttons along the button to activate your special power (if it has powered up).<br>
Your health decreases every time you make an attack, but killing red cuties will give you back health.Display order: 1
