Compiled vs. Source - Licensed
Games:
FlashTube currently has three forms of licensing.
- Compiled: These games are compiled, contain pre-set
artwork, and are not customizable. The compiled(.swf) games license
is more economical, does not allow for art/design changes and prohibits
source code use (and prohibits reverse-engineering of source from the
game executable). Pre-compiled games can still be branded for licensees
by FlashTube on a per game or project basis. Compiled games are royalty-free.
Game content is also easily updated through text files or admin systems.
- Cosmetic: Similar to the Compiled license, this
game type is also compiled and is subject to the limitations of the
Compiled license (below). In a Cosmetic license the graphics are customizable
by easily updating JPEG file(s). Game content is also simply updated
through text files or admin systems.
- Source: Source code is licensed so that you can
generate your own custom versions of source-licensed games. Source-licensed
games are delivered with the Flash sources files in the Adobe (.fla)
format. FlashTube also provides customizations to source-licensed games
and is available to consult with your team working with the source
code.
If you are interested in assistance, consultation, or development
of games under either style of license, please contact us! Our talented
staff of developers and designers will be thrilled to work with you!
