[AC] Arcade 1.0.0

Arcade is a full HTML5 arcade for XenForo 2.3.

Demo

What you get​

• 51 HTML5 games bundled and ready to go on install, already sorted into categories.
• Proper scoreboards with anti-cheat measures. Every play gets a server-issued token, with one score submission per token, a six-hour expiry and a configurable maximum score per game. Games can use either higher or lower scores as the winner.
• Crowns. The best score on each game holds the crown. Beat it and the crown becomes yours, while the previous champion gets an alert.
• Weekly leaderboard, live scoreboard, personal rankings and a Hall of Fame.
• Challenges. Duel a specific member or open a challenge to everyone. Challenges run for a set number of days and the best score wins. Alerts cover received, accepted, declined, won, lost, tied and other challenge events. You can also optionally create a discussion thread and automatically post the final result as a reply.
• Nudges. Give someone in the top ten a little poke to come back and beat your score. Limited to once per day per member, so nobody gets spammed.
• Live ticker and "Playing now" badges on the arcade homepage.
• Broken game reports that go straight into the Admin Control Panel.
• Three widgets: newest champions, latest scores and most popular games.
• Optional discussion thread per game, automatically created in a forum of your choice.
• Upload your own games as a ZIP pack. One folder per game with a manifest.json file is all that's needed.
• External games by URL are supported too. These are casual-only and don't support score tracking.
• Per-category view and play permissions, along with member permissions for challenges, nudges and reports.
• Everything is phrased, so the add-on is fully translatable.

Requirements​

• XenForo 2.3.0 or newer
• PHP 8.1 or newer
• PHP ZIP extension

Installing​

The package is around 10 MB because all 51 games are included.
I recommend not uploading the ZIP directly through the ACP. A lot of hosts still have an 8 MB POST upload limit, which can result in XenForo showing a misleading "security error" even though there's nothing wrong with the add-on.
Instead, unzip the package, upload the contents of the upload folder through FTP, and then install Arcade from the XenForo add-ons page.
Game files are stored in:
data/ac_arcade/games
There are currently no points or credits integrations, or external game providers.
Those may come later depending on what people actually want to see added.
Feedback is always welcome, and bug reports even more so.
