Forum ‹ Sitebox ‹ Blocking players from accessing the game

[cjcenizal]

I'd like to create a whitelist of beta testers to only allow certain people to access the game. I've been trying to create simple if expressions using the Sitebox markup in my index.html page, like so:

Code: Select all

{% if fb_user_id is 'WhiteListedID' %}
   {% swf src='game.swf' width=760 height=635 id='game' AllowScriptAccess='always' %}
{% end %}

Obviously I'm still kind of clumsy with this syntax. Am I going about this the right way? Can you suggest the best way of doing what I'm trying to do? Thanks.

Hey,

Most likely you'll want to do it inside the flash file somewhere, where you have a full programming language. I've seen solutions that store banned/blocked users in BigDB and load that from the client.

Oh, good idea. Thanks Oliver!
