Feature Bugs: (sent this a while ago to admins but this API isn't used enough to get it fixed)
Name - Does not work. Automatically is set to "Match".
Description - Never shown.
100k Update is out. Just a disclaimer cause I can see it already. :D "Functionality is here, looks are not." The next update will involve cleaning up the looks and adding color.
New GUI version. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4255275/newgdr.png Allows Nicknames, muting, emphasis of individual users as well as timed silences/bans, removed poll and beta tab, and a send button for mobile devices that broke after the original one was removed.
Since this is an easy and subtle mistake to make, even though UnknownGuardian figured it out, I'll go ahead and explain it. A single user_id request should be for the parameter "user_id", but if you want multiple you need to use "user_ids", with an "s" at the end. Same thing applies to username(s).
Ah, interesting - I think at the moment this function is a permission-only function. I had thought we had opened it up, but it appears not. Let me know if you'd like me to turn it on for one of your games. I'll update the text to reflect the permission-based nature of it for the time being. Thanks!
Just Updated the Game. Should no longer take eons to load and display pre-game animations. Now loads almost as fast as it possibly can. Please let me know if you have grey screen issues (had it once when testing) and just try to refresh.
For developer notice, if you have are trying to access the JSON feed but you get security errors, try loading from api.kongregate.com instead of www.kongregate.com.
Can we get a link on this page to the next part of the process (maybe the statistics page?) since no one will just connect to Kongregate and not continue past this point.
Any chance the metrics.json could be moved to api.kongregate.com so games that are hosted on Kongregate can access it without need of an external server?
This seems like a very rare case for a game to need to know its own rating and gameplays. I suppose it could be used for bribing players to rate highly, but I don't know that we want to really condone that. In any case, you can send us a direct message if you'd like to discuss this in more detail. (And yes UnknownGuardian, I will finally get through your email queue sometime soon!)
Quick restarts! It would be great to add that! When I lose I don't want to see the countdown for 3 seconds. Maybe only have it for the first 3-5 times then just have a 1 second delay or less.
