3D RAD GAMES AS ADVERTISEMENT PLATFORM
The simple technique presented here can be used to create advertisement space in your own 3D Rad games,
which you can sell to third parties.
A nice free game can be played tens of thousands of times per day, if made sufficiently available online
(software directories, search engine indexing, YouTube promotion etc).
After your game is out there, you can modify the files at your website (see below), and the ad units will automatically update
for all game copies played around the world, giving you full control on your advertisement campaign!
Third party services exist to help you supply new ad units to your games.
Feel free to discuss about this exciting opportunity with other 3D Rad users
at the community forum!
Open the demo project called ClickableAdUnit.3dr, press the SpaceBar to launch it.
If you are connected to the Internet, the default sprite should turn into a smiling girl
holding a sign reading Click Me!.
What happened is that the small script in the project (double click it to see the code)
has downloaded a new image from the 3drad.com website and used it to update the sprite.
Now compile the project and run the executable in windowed mode.
If you click the image, the program should terminate and the 3D Rad website should open in your browser.
This works because, along with the new image, the script also downloaded an HTML file called
webpageOpen.htm. When it was opened on exiting the program, the HTML code in it redirected
your browser to the 3drad.com website.
IMPORTANT! When the project is run in full screen, the mouse will not be visible. You need to add a new Sprite object
to the project and use it as a mouse pointer. Please see 'Work as full-screen mouse pointer'
option in the help file for the Sprite object.
3D Rad comes with more sophisticated tools you can use to make in-game advertisement more effective.
For example, you can make ad units by using animated 3d models! See the iObjectRefresh() function in the
Script reference document.
