ArrowChat File Structure

[Chris]

We've been wanting to show more of the product, so here is our lame attempt at doing so. For anyone that cares, this is the current file structure of ArrowChat. It may change slightly at release.

hmm where would configurations for the application be stored? in the applications application folder? Or in a global config folder?

Right in the applications folder. In this example, bloons, dslayer, farmville, etc are applications.

Don't get too excited, it's just in an iframe linked to the Farmville site positioned around the flash game.

well , if your logged in through fb connect, you would be able to play the game right? do you guys have plans to integrate their api so that other users within the site will be their friends on farmville as well?

Unfortunately, we can't connect with Farmville in any way, because we need their API key, and it would be incredibly unsafe for them to give that out because people could make changes to their application. You won't notice any difference when playing it in an iframe anyway.

We actually do have plans to add Facebook connect to ArrowChat so that users can chat with their Facebook friends via ArrowChat, but we don't expect that until 1.1 or 1.2.

thats a great development if users are able to chat with facebook friends, i anticipate that this will be a great product, however is the scalability issues been tackled already. i am about to integrate the script into a member base of about 20k users and i hope this wont hog my resources.

Scalability has been one of our top priorities. It's just about as efficient as possible.

Why not use the Farmville .swf?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

Yes that is intended. Only Bloons is available for download right now.
