ArcadeFly is a project I’ve wanted to do for a while. It’s one of those ideas that you just assume there’d be a comparable service for somewhere, but it’s just never been filled — and in the time meantime I’ve witnessed a drop in Arcades all around. It’s a shame to see so many great hangouts disappear, but hopefully those that do survive will adapt to service more people — the way the Wii has. It seems like Gameworks, Dave and Busters as well as mall arcades (of course) are doing well, but still I wish for more variety. So ArcadeFly is out there to help people with the same interest in finding new places. If you’re here you probably already know the basics of the (somewhat simplistic) site.
As for this blog, it’s mostly going to be a journal for the development progress to begin with. ArcadeFly is being developed by one guy (me), while learning Ruby On Rails, which it’s built on. I don’t see myself going into full blown tutorials on what I’m using, but more for design decisions, what plugins I’m using and where the site is at now. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop me a line.
