Tzigla Rocks!!!

[HughSpectrum]

I finally have internet at home so I took a tile spot (then realized I could have done this from the library).  The process was very painless for someone like me that worries that I may screw up something, so props to that.

Slightly off topic but the C64 palette is powerful, heh.

Hey pixies!

Huge update to tzigla today. The old tzigla was kinda thrown together and especially the sidebar and the popups were kinda bad for user interaction. So, we updated all that and also rewrote a lot of the browser code to make it really easy to add new features in the future

For the moment we just deployed to a staging server so we can test things out.

It would be really nice if you had time to check it out and try clicking around, reserving, releasing, uploading, etc and let us know if things still work, or if you think there is something wrong, or if it behaves unexpectedly, etc.

http://tzigla-staging.heroku.com/boards/3 - checker collab c64 board
http://tzigla-staging.heroku.com/boards/1 - quack quack, pixel duck board

NOTE1: Only twitter and facebook authentication work, sorry
NOTE2: You cannot break the live board, everything here is just a copy and anything that you will do will be discarded, so don't worry, go crazy, click around

If nothing major is broken, we will hopefully be deploying to the live server tomorrow.

Thanks

ps: when reporting an issue, it would be really helpful to mention the browser and operating system you are using
pps: we'll be adding badges to users and one of them will be the beta tester badge
ppps: thanks to Setzer and KittenMaster on irc for helping out with the initial testing

so these are just test ones right? so I wont get yelled at if I participate? also am I right in assuming the duck one is digital painting opposed to just pixel-work? because id be all over that..





bawwww! it said i had the bottom middle one reserved so I made something really nice and I clicked upload and then I waited a bit and reloaded the page and somebody had already drawn something there!
NVM! yay!

Hola,

After the huge wave of beta testers, we concluded that nothing was broken . Therefore, we've just deployed to the live server. Hurray!

Check it out at: http://tzigla.com

This release is mainly about the UI revamp and also a major code rewrite underneath. It makes pretty for you and allows adding new fun features so much easier for us, yay!

Since a lot of stuff has changed, please let us know if something doesn't work anymore. Our supported browsers are: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera.

Happy pixeling!

First, chill. If anyone screams at you I'll personally kick their ass

Second, it seems you confused the staging application with the live one. You reserved a tile on the live quack board, then looked at the staging quack board. And they are completely different. Sorry about the confusion, we should have put a big sign to differentiate them

Anyway, don't worry about that. We deployed the new version to live, where you still have the tile reserved. You can go ahead and upload it there . I'm the admin for that board, not ptoing. And it's a very newbie friendly board, as you may have noticed

Have fun: http://tzigla.com/boards/1

ps: APPROVED! It's gorgeous! One of the best tiles on that board btw

aw shoot, you know what would be great? if you made the ends loop to the other side, so you could scroll in one direction indefinitely!

That would be fun indeed, and it is already in our to do list (somewhere around version 4.0 )

In our 160 line TODO file, there are 15 lines mentioning new board types we thought of adding.

Wrap around boards is one of them and it'll most likely be the first (ok, maybe the second) one we do since it's the easiest
