Hub Updates

[GameCRAZY]

@Murtaza I'm not saying that these projects are bad, but this school likes to upload these different projects in huge waves. If I remember correctly, they're the 3rd heat in the hot projects. This doesn't make much sense - just my thinking.

[Murtaza]

Then dislike them. If you dislike them they will go away.
Like I said, the hot system relies on the community. The only way it will work is if you like and dislike projects.

[GameCRAZY]

@Murtaza did you change the "new projects" section as well? When you update a project, shoudln't it still appear above other projects? Because the first wave of the "new projects" has seemed out of order the past few days...

[Murtaza]

The new section has a small bug introduced with the last update. On the list to fix.

[Aidan_Fire]

Isn't the Hub a website though, so can't it be fixed without a hyperPad update? Either everyone has gotten really inactive in hyperPad or the New section isn't showing anyones new games.

[Murtaza]

@Aidan-Oxley
Yup the hub can be updated with out updating the app.
We've actually fixed the bug with the new section but haven't made it live yet since we have another (behind the scenes) change that's holding it up.

The hub has been about inactive for the past few days though. :(

[Aidan_Fire]

So the Hub is inactive not because of broken New section but because all the users are inactive at the moment?

[Murtaza]

Mix of both. There have been some new projects, over the past few days.

[Jack8680]

Time for a new challenge? :P

[Murtaza]

@Jack8680 I think so :)

[GameCRAZY]

@Murtaza you should make a "single asset" challenge. Then, the user has to use one object (for example an empty object) to create everything for a game.

You should also make a formula or generator type challenge where the user has to come up with a randomly generated game or use some special type of formula to save progress or carry out a function, etc.

[Murtaza]

I'm thinking of doing a "tutorial" challenge. Something to help the community and new HyperPad users.

Maybe create a small game/concept and a tutorial to go with it?

[GameCRAZY]

@Murtaza that would be cool. Could users submit and improve upon earlier projects, originally not made for the challenge?

[Murtaza]

@GameCRAZY that wouldn't be fair.
But I could see you recreating part of your game and doing a tutorial on it.

Though I'm still working out the details and rules. Maybe something in the next few weeks :)

[Jack8680]

@Murtaza ooh, tutorial challenge would be a cool idea, maybe could be useful in classrooms too.

I think I like more the one asset challenge. You never know what people come out with.
