<h3>How To</h3>
After downloading and installing the plugin you can start to embed Miniclip games into your website.
<h4>Game Shortcode Embed</h4>
The most basic usage is with a shortcode. All you need to use this is the game id for the game you would like to embed. The following code will embed the game ‘8 Ball Pool’ on your site.
<pre><code>[game id="2471"]
</code></pre>
You can get a list of all the available games here: http://www.miniclip.com/webmasters/docs/shortcodes/en/
<h4>Category Shortcode Embed</h4>
Embed the top 5 games from the specified game category on a page. The following example will embed the top 5 action games from Miniclip.com.
<pre><code>[game-category id="13]
</code></pre>
At the moment the easiest way to find the id for the game categories is to browse to the category you want to embed on http://www.miniclip.com and then look at the number next to the word genre- in the url. For example the action category looks like http://www.miniclip.com/games/genre-13/action/en/ – which makes 13 the category id.
