HTML5 Docs - I need your input

Login works.

Now to make the main menu and saving.

I can't wait to see it. C:

Hey Gan, how much longer until HTML5 GM is ready?  If you're stuck on the saving & loading features, just release HTML5 GM as it is, and add saving & loading later.  It's going to need a lot of testing, and we don't need to save games in order to test it.

[Connors]

There's not a lot of point in putting out a release date for it...
But it would be fun to test it out Gan!

[Gan]

You guys are absolutely correct.

I need to release a beta soon and I dislike release dates with a passion. So I got my music blasting and I'm setting off with a fury.
I will work on it vehemently tomorrow as well. I want a beta released by Wednesday. I want saving cause it's irritating to lose awesome creations.

Saving and loading is finished. Well, autosave isn't in yet. You gotta hit the button when you want to save.

To do:

• Fix the Game Close method to work
• Fix the code editor to indent properly
• Make autosave
• Add the ability to download game source in the export tab
• Add the ability to load game sources from the main menu
• Add game templates and demos
• Update the help docs more
• Allow the user to delete their games
• Increase security of php scripts to prevent SQL injection
• Dummy proof the buttons so the user encounters less errors
• Add the ability to share compiled versions of games to other users to the export tab
• Autosave, alerts when unable to save and the ability to re-log back in without losing data
• Fix graphical errors when using in mobile safari and firefox
• Add ability to play video in the canvas

I think that's it. Ya know, besides further tweaks, feature add-ins, and graphical/layout updates.

The game maker is perfectly functional now. I can release a beta. Though first I want to add game templates and demos so you guys aren't going in blind.

[Connors]

Or at least put in a tutorial right?

[Gan]

Would you guys rather have a demo game that explains everything in comments? Or an actual tutorial that you can select on the main menu that shows pictures with text describing every tool?

[Gan]

Beh. I'll do both.

[Gan]

Made a tutorial for the HTML5 GM. Goes over the basic tools. Now I'm gonna work on Game Template functionality. Then I'll make some test games to be used as templates.
Then I'm going to fix some bugs from my previous list of todo. And then I want to add some more export features.

I think I want to release a stable and well featured beta. So I'm gonna do most of the stuff on the todo list before this becomes public.

Edit: I was making a test game and found some nasty bugs in key detection. Good thing. Fixed now.

What did yu mean by SQL injection? I've only ever heard of mysql for logblock for minecraft servers.

[Gan]

Sql databases hold data. SQL code manipulates the data. It is very fast and organized.
All data of this forum is stored in an SQL database.

SQL injection means sneaking some code in a query to manipulate or delete data.

[Connors]

The whole language is based around storing and retrieving information? Sounds useful.
And have you got saving to work?

PS: a tutorial OR templates is great but we could test it with only one of those.

[Gan]

Heh. You guys getting both.


Edit: Before you say it, this is not a self portrait!

[Connors]

So who is it!? I MUST KNOW. O_O
