Just one week after the previous version upload, we already have a new one: This eleventh alfa version is filled up with a lot of new features and improvements but in which we would highlight the “code recipes“. This new tool allows the flash game developers to upload small snippets of code. Once that snippets, or code recipes, are uploaded other users can comment, rate and, even, embed it in other external pages (yes, like the youtube videos).

Detailed changelog

Code Recipes

The main new feature of this version: The code recipes are small code snippets sent by the registered developers. Then, it’s possible to rate, comment and embed these recipes.

We think that this tool cand have various uses:

• Examples repository: It is a great tool to organise a lot of examples that coud be useful for other developers.
• Code highlighting: Thanks to the syntax highlighting system (admits more than 13 programming languages) and to the possibility of embed this code in other pages, it may be really useful for developers to put these code snippets in their blogs or pages.
• Tutorials: The system is flexible enough to allow developers to write a super simple snippet of one line or a full tutorial with several programming languages involved.
• Feedback: Thanks to the comments and the ratings, it will be very enriching for developers due to the possible corrections and suggestion of other users.

Supported languages

Bugfixes and subtle improvements

Permalinks

Now we use permalinks in URLs instead of plain titles.

“Remember me” function improved

The new version authenticates the user in the moment he arrives. In previous versions the system waited until the user tried to use a protected feature.

Fixed a bug in previews due to non-latin characters

Sometimes, we also make newbie mistakes. Only sometimes.

Visits counters

The visits are now counted and shown in the profiles, the collaboration offers and the flash code recipes.

“Human” dates internationalization

Perhaps you didn’t notices, but the whole application is i18n ready. This week we have started to translate the dates in “human” format (those like “one day ago”).

Aesthetical and navigational improvements

New header and menus

The navigation system of the header was one of the things that we wanted to improve. We think that we made a good job here:

This new header shows the user where he is and reduces de number of clicks to move from one page to other.

Index

We have improved slightly the index page:

Also, we added a small badge for the signed in users. It shows a few stats about his activity:

Comments

Possibility to comment in code recipes and in profiles.
