Tzigla Rocks!!!

Another version deployed on staging.

http://staging.tzigla.com/boards/3

Changes:

* clear canvas button
* permanent remembering of sign in
* custom cursor (except opera/ff3 which suck).
* crazy optimization (especially on ipad)

Just noticed this, and it might have been that I didn't see it before because there were only 4 items in the shortcuts list and I know there are more now (checked it the first time from a larger resolution display) - check the bottom right of the screenshot, anything below the first few items on the list of shortcuts gets cut off.  My laptop's display resolution is 1366x768 so that's as big as I am able to make my window without hiding my tab bar and bookmarks bar.  You've disabled scrolling capabilities purposefully I take it? Perhaps if you made the shortcuts in a scrollable list?  Or a rollover link similar to how the quick-board-selector list works in the top left of the header? Wouldn't want people not noticing the commands or assuming the capabilities weren't available.

Request for help #1

We want to make a newbie pixel board. Any ideas for a theme, a palette?

About the theme we were thinking that a city or building is easy and fun enough for newbies and they won't run out of ideas.

About palette, we were thinking about arne's palette, but maybe more colors would be better for newbies?

We were thinking to make the tile size 50x50 so they're not so intimidating like the 100x100 ones, and yet not so small so things can be made inside.

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome

[evilchelu]

Hey ho!

We've just made the pixel editor available as a separate thing so you can just play with it.

http://tzigla.com/editor

For now it only has arne's palette for you to play with.

Have fun and please let us know if you do something cool with it

Toodles!

Oh, and there's also a newbie pixel art board now, moderated by the great Argyle

Check it out here: http://tzigla.com/boards/8

The greatness is leaking all over the place, oh god!

'lo

We've just deployed LAYERS with 10 minutes before we go on vacation for 3 months

Fortunately, only on staging for now. We'd really really really love some feedback on the layers so we have a chance of putting it on live in the next days before we sell our laptops

http://staging.tzigla.com

Check it out: undo/redo across layers should work, transparent color should work, drawing, filling, saving, loading, refreshing without closing the editor, submitting a tile, etc. All should work.

Pretty pretty please let us know of any bugs. We want to deploy this on live but don't want to break the site for three months

Huggies, have fun, and we hope we didn't put a silly bug in just before leaving.

weeeee

Can't believe the pixel editor. Really cool work, ya'll.

One huge problem though, it's so laggy I simply can't stand to use it. Even dragging the mouse around the canvas occurs at like 4 frames per second. . .

[ptoing]

Not laggy at all here 
What kinda connection are you on?
