	~~== Guide ==~~		#REDIRECT [[Curation Tutorial]]

	* Download [https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Flashpoint%20Core%203.1.zip Flashpoint Core 3.1], a lightweight developer version of Flashpoint
	* Most games are tested within <code>Flashpoint Core X.X/Server/htdocs</code>. X.X is the version number
	* Make note of the direct URL to the game's main files you've extracted
	<blockquote>'''Important''', for most non-flash games, you need to save not only the game main file, but also the HTML code snippet in which the main file is embedded - place that in an index.html file, and keep reading </blockquote>
	* Within htdocs, make a folder with the website name
	** i.e. <code>newgrounds.com</code>, <code>static.nickjr.com</code>, etc
	* Within that folder, begin mimicking the URL by building corresponding subdirectories.
	** i.e. <code>newgrounds.com/alienhominid/59593_alien_booya202c.swf</code> - you would make an <code>alienhominid</code> subfolder, if your url has more, keep adding subfolders until it looks like your url
	* Finally, place your game's main files in the last subfolder (along with an <code>index.html</code> if you've created one)

	~~'''Now that you have the code set up correctly in htdocs:'''~~

	* Open up Flashpoint Core and click on New Game on the bottom right corner
	* Click on <u>Application Path</u> and select the appropriate path for your extracted game
	** i.e. flashplayer.exe for flash, startUnity.bat for Unity, etc.
	* The <u>Launch command</u> should be the exact URL to where you extracted the game
	** '''However''', for most non-Flash games, you need to link it to the html in which the game is embedded
	* If you want to edit these locations later, head to the Arcade tab and select the game (there will be a pencil image and a trash image next to the name) and click the pencil
	* You should see a new game in the launcher list
	* Run it

	* [[Shockwave Curation]]
	* [[Java Curation]]
	* [[Silverlight Curation]]

	~~== Debugging ==~~

	* Observe the Flashpoint redirector window and see if you're getting 404 errors - you can grab any missing assets or code by going to the indicated URL locations, downloading it and placing it correctly in the htdocs
	* Hunt down other websites in which the game has been embedded or even originally hosted if any of the files end up being broken
	* If you wish to decompile and look at the code, there are a few tools available.

	~~Java - [https://github.com/deathmarine/Luyten/releases/latest Luyten Java Decompiler]~~

	~~== Submitting Your Curation ==~~

	~~Once your game is working in Flashpoint Core, it's time to submit it to Flashpoint. This section describes the steps for submitting a curation.~~

	# ~~Create the necessary metadata files and package your submission according to the~~ [[Curation ~~Format~~]]~~. For more details on how to do this, refer to that page.~~
	# Head to the Flashpoint Discord server. If you haven't curated before, upload your submission to #curator-lounge on Discord and wait for a Curator to check it. If your submission is valid, you will be given a special Trial Curator role that will allow you to post messages in the Curations channels. Otherwise, you'll be able to correct your submission.
	# Navigate to [https://unstable.life/submissions.html this page]. If you are submitting a Flash game, upload to the Flash Game Submissions section. If you're submitting a game that uses a different technology like Shockwave or Java, upload it to the Other Game Submissions section. Or, if you're submitting an animation, use the Animation Submissions section.
	~~# Check [https://unstable.life/submissions_view.html this page] to make sure your curation was uploaded successfully.~~
	# In the Flashpoint Discord server, post a message with your submission's title to the appropriate Curations channel. If you are submitting a non-Flash game, you may use one of the server's web technology emojis to specify what platform your game runs in. For example, you might post a message like this: <code>:java: Realspace 2 - Emperor's Revenge</code>
