How do I build games?
Building games is very easy. Just pick a game you like and start the game editor. Once you are in the editor you may upload photos from your computer or a webcam and can use them to personalize a game. Just follow the instructions in the game editor and your game is ready to send to friends or add to your web page. If you are a member you can also get extra features with your game like your own high score list and guest book.

How do I link in my games?
You can either just use the URL shown to link to your game or include directly into a web page by embedding the game. Depending on the page you include it you can use either of the two offered links. One link requires javascipt support on the page and a the simpler link (suited for Myspace and Blogger) works with less functions, but can be used everywhere.

What type of images can I upload?

How do I link in my game?
There are several ways to link in your game. Go to the game you want to link to and you will see 3 primary options you can use:
- URL Just copy this URL and include it as a link on any web page or send it with a messenger and it will lead to the page on MyGame and allow your friends to play it.
- JS Embed code This link allows you to easily embed the game directly into a web page or blog. Just mark the text and use the copy function, and then paste it as is into a web page code.
This way the flash game can be playable directly anywhere on the Web. Use this feature to spruce up your homepage.
The good thing is that your high score list will still be updated if you have saved the game even though it is played anywhere on the web. - HTML Embed code This works exactly like the JS Embed code, but some websites such as MySpace or Blogger does not allow you to use Javascript (JS code) so you should use this code instead.
