Over 12+ years of video game design and development experience... We're sorting through many years of research notes and links to compile a growing online resource of video game development articles, middleware, software and industry news. We're also putting together a directory of video game development curricula and schools/colleges if you're looking to learn about formal education in game development. We're just rolling out, but there's a lot of information in our vault, so look for the site to grow fast.
So, I've been working with Ruby on Rails lately -- which is another discussion entirely -- and I've come to the point where I want to figure out how to embed SWF games into a page. This research led me to a great little article called "Embedding SWF content with Ruby on Rails " at EleventyTen (which is just a cool name, btw.)
I'm posting here as usual to give myself a future-note on the topic, but also to share a bit. SWFObject is really sweet and is a MUCH nicer way to handle the ridiculous mess that is the embed-vs-object "thing" for putting SWF movies in your files.
So, consider this an introduction to SWF embeding in Rails, as well as a heads-up on SWFObject since you'll probably want to use that sucker no matter what you're using on the site dev backend!
You're welcome.
