Four Island

Ok, big news everyone! I've now added new support for Gravatars. They are avatars that you create at http://site.gravatar.com, and appear as your gravatar on any Gravatar-Enabled commenting system.

To use gravatars, make sure your email address is registered in your profile. You can edit your profile on the forum. Then create your free gravatar account with the link above, assign an avatar to it, make some posts, and wow! There's your new Gravatar!

Hope you enjoy this new feature!

Well, for this week's poll of the week... I'm disappointed. But anyway, I guess it was a strange week, and I still did get some votes. With 3 votes in all, the results were interesting! Here they are:

The Projects Section - 1 vote(s)! Kirby's Fan Mail - 0 vote(s)! Recent Updates/Articles - 1 vote(s)! Other - 1 vote(s)!

Now, other than Poll of the Week, I have two more things to say. One, I have FINALLY finished the Tetrgi Documentation's Language Reference! So now you'll actually be able to program in Tetrgi! I can't seem to remember the other thing right now... oh yes! I finally managed to install SpamAssassin for my mail server, and those of you who have Four Island email accounts now have better spam protection! OK, I know there's something else to say, but I can't remember. I'll post back later!

Woah, I am updating rapidly! Anyway, I've finally fixed up the flash game section! It now includes:

• Better descriptions of the games
• Highscore lists
• Warning notices
• Commenting system
• Rating System

All in all, I hope you enjoy the new flash game section!

HORRAY! My computer screen is fixed! This is soooo............. (At this point Hatkirby falls over and faints)

(Later...) OK... Anyway... in other news, I've put a new game up! It's located in the Windows Games section, though I guess you don't need Windows to play it. In fact, it's completely platform-notcaring! It's called the Impossible Maze! Go look at it!

I have good news and bad news everyone! What do you want to hear first? The good news? OK! My computer's cracked monitor is finally going to be fixed! HORRAY! The bad news, Four Island will be temporarily down some time this week. Don't worry, it won't vanish, hopefully I'll have configured the down page properly and you'll be told that Four Island is temporarily down. I can't wait! A fixed monitor again! Sorry about the downtime, but it had to happen sometime, and the sooner, the better! What's the point of putting it off?

Time is literally flying by! And, if I won't get attacked by a mob of wild Spearows trying to gnaw my head off because I'm saying this too late, allow me to say, Happy Thanksgiving!. Anyway, back to the poll. This week, we only had four votes and there is a clear winner:

Point and click - 0 vote(s)! Escape the room - 1 vote(s)! Role Playing - 1 vote(s)! Other - 3 vote(s)!

In other news, as JAL has finally emailed me his logo for Wikipinia, the sign of PIN, his wiki is starting to show some progress! Stay tuned for more information!

Horray! For all of those out there who need help, but lack the magic ingredient of a user account, I've added a ticket system! Click on the "Helpdesk" link in the Misc. Section on the HatNav.

The Helpdesk section allows you to create tickets which are protected by your email address and ticket ID. The tickets work in a thread-like style. I hope people find this useful because of the lack of proper documentation for things like Rubiwin and Tetrgi!

Gosh, I think I'm updating a little fast now, don't you think? Anyway, another challenge has been released! (By the way, sorry about Lofofo, it's dead, but this one won't be, promise)

Do you like programming? Yes? (If you answer no to any of these questions you should skip this paragraph and the one following it) How about esotoric ones? How about HIGHLY esotoric ones? Still yes? Well then, have I got a treat for you!

I've a translator language (sorry guys, no compiler yet, will get there sometime) called Single Four AND IT IS INSANE. How insane? Well, let's take the example of the simplest program to code, a program that prints "Hello World!" to the screen and then quits. I managed to write that in Single Four, but even after I found a few tricks to lessen the size of the code, it was still 482 LINES OF CODE LONG! So, if you like languages that are a challenge to program in, go to the Challenges section and click "Single Four"!

(NOTE: If JAL is reading this, you still need to email me the logo you want for Wikipinia)

Another week already! And only 3 votes on the POTW! Anyway, here are the results:

Windows Programs - 2 vote(s)! Windows Games - 0 vote(s)! Flash Games - 0 vote(s)! Challenges - 1 vote(s)!

Also, I'm now hosting another site! Look for Wikipinia on the Hatnav, because JAL now has his own wiki!

Well everybody, Project Lofofo has started! It's a whole new project for Four Island that will be incredibly fun and interesting. For more information, click on Project Lofofo on the HatNav, find it in the Challenges section, or goto http://lofofo.fourisland.com!

In other news, I've finally started to work on the Tetrgi Documentation again, so that should be finished within a week or four.
