Recent Kongregate Updates

I figured I’d make a thread with the updates that have been made since yesterday, for simplicity’s sake.

- A whisper option in your profile (probably that only you yourself can see).
- Tabs for shouts and whispers.
- Add as friend and mute links on profile have been rearranged, appearing at the bottom of your profile now.
- A link to delete a shout or mute the person who made it, next to each shout in your profile, so you don’t have to use the “View all shouts” link.
- A new badge page, with optimized code, so that it actually runs in IE now, and divided into pages.

Has anybody come across anything else?

AS3!

The badge page still uses the old system of “hiding all badge details” and “display one”. So while it does work better, its only because there are less badges on the page. ^^

I’m already thinking of ways to improve the badge system.

That’s good enough for me, dazzer. All I wanted was less lag, so it works as a temporary improvement. :)

smigbob, we got AS3 support?! Where did you read that?

Oooh I just checked it on the profile pages with all the badges… seems that it has been improved somehow. Impressive. So that should mean I can take out optimizations from my tweaks, and save abit of space.

Emily said so.

Like, they’re in beta testing of AS3 support, or they’ve officially released it now?

I like more the Dazzer’s badge script. Oh well, the badge page hasn’t been finished yet.

Also, if you in chat click a profile, (not your’s) it will say “Showing 20 of (Nickname)’s (number) friends?” Like “Showing 20 of Juze’s 103 friends.”

And one more update. Be the beta tester of Kongai. Check the cards tab. :)

Wierd, in my friends, it says mrhthepie is playing The Ultimate Pie Adventure Quest, but not in any room. Does it have to do with updates?

Love the new updates ;)

The new Cards page looks great. Now hopefully it will come when they say it does.

Ehh, early 2008 can’t be too wrong.

You also evidently now get emails whenever you get a shout or a whisper!

You never know with that Emily. :P

Awesome! XD

Edit: I just found out that we got a notification link on our account editing page. It allows you to get e-mail when a friend adds you back, when someone you’ve referred signs up, when you get new shouts and whispers, and an option not to send info to Facebook. Neat!

They’re up and running. I’ve got some as3 highscores up and running for Hexiom already (shameless plug >_>)

I didn’t know Hexion was on AS3, Moonkey, but I certainly hope it gets a badge.

Kong is up and running! XD

Gee, today’s a big day.

It’s the day where EmilyG turned JimG into level 1, and this whole updates thing.

Let’s name this day…

“Another day in Kongregate.”

Another day in kongregate it is

As a result of Kongregate updates, I have updated my scripts. ^^

AS3!

I want to know more about that.

Oh, and this…

Proof.

Yes, the AS3 API is out, but its still in sort of a testing phase (with one currently known bug) so we’re looking to you guys to start testing it out.

Hmm, what exactly are we supposed to test/look out for? Weird highscores?

Difficulty with integration or AS3 runtime errors, etc. My comment was geared towards developers, not players.

About the current badges page with the improved performance and pagination:

That page is still under construction. Obviously adding pages to it is something that had to happen eventually, no amount of code optimization would allow us to display 3,000 badges on a single page like that, and since badges never go away… we can assume that some day Kong will have that many.

However, at the moment it is a little hard to use because you have to scroll through the pages to find badges. We have a design that is more-or-less completed and waiting to be implemented. That design will allow users to sort the badges by different criteria (difficulty, popularity, newness, etc)
