OMG Yes, I can imagine haha. At least it it just one number and not something like 8r4v3f007 Ah, the woes of being young shabowcat is pretty cool and unique tbf

Most definately. I use it daily in my day job with an uncountable number of people. It's so scaleable and easy to use, and I cant believe how much "free" stuff there is on there too. Normally you would expect software of that quality to be chargeable (such as Jira or TFS). and thanks @Digital . I was eager to write this, just needed to wait until i had the time haha

Trello is a really amazing project management program that is free to use and works seamlessly across most platforms (iOS, Android, all modern browsers). It works with multiple people in teams and allows you to filter to the tasks that are important to you. The best part is that it is super flexible - it could be used for managing tasks in your daily life, such as chores or shopping lists, or can be used for multi-tiered development. There are 3 main terminologies that are used for using Trello. They are Boards, Lists and Cards. Boards Once you have created your Trello Account you will be able to create your first board. A board is a collection of all your data and todo items. You'll probably just need to create one, however Trello lets you create as many as you want. I would recommend to just create one for each project you're working on. If you have multiple projects, your board might look something like the below image. You may notice that I have multiple boards. I have one for a Client I'm currently working on, one for my Youtube so I know what I'm doing and when, and one for the development of my game. I've also created an Example Board to use for this Guide: Lists A list is a container within your board that holds multiple cards. You might use a list to separate "Dave's Work", "Aimee's Work" and "Claudette's Work", or perhaps you could have a list for each place you need to visit today, such as "Groceries List", "Family to Visit", "Clothes I need to buy"... For this guide we will have "Todo", "In Progress" and "Completed" :- Cards You can see on the image above that the lists have white todo-items in each list with a little description. Each white entity is called a "Card". While it may looks very very simple, and it can be used in a very simple way, it can actually get extremely details once you get into the nitty gritty.. however the detail is completely optional! Clicking on a Card brings up a view that allows you to customise it, such as assign that card to someone else (more on that later), label it (and give it a fancy color), give it a description, a due date and more. Each Card also has a comment-chain, so discussions on that particular item can take place within the card itself. The best part is that the cards can be moved between lists simply by dragging them.. Clicking on a card brings up this interface: There are all sorts of customisation options available, so let's go ahead and fill in some details for the battle arena. - Description - We'll give it a better description so we know what we're planning to do. - Members - I'll click members then my name to assign the ticket to me. My initials "NW" (or my profile photo if i have one set) will then appear. Multiple people can be assigned to a Card, and anyone can assign anyone. - Due Date - We want this completed in a reasonable fashion, so we will set a realistic due date. - Attachment - We dont have any attachments, however ANY file can be attached to a Card. There, this looks much better: You'll notice in the background that the card we created called "Code the Battle Arena" has had it's white area within the list updated. This allows you to have more detail at a glance of your entire board, and not have to click on a card to see who it is assigned to, or when it is due. You could also add a Checklist to your card which updates depending on how complete it is, and also shows progress on the list detail. I've created a checklist of items for creation for the NPC Shops. I then clicked "Attachment" to show the attachment dialog. Following that, I uploaded the drawn (hehe) bananas, and checked bananas off the list. You'll see the card gets updated in the open-view and on the list-view also. The last thing I'm going to share information on is Labels. Labels are a way to "tag" cards as belonging to a particular group to help stay organised. You can customise the color and the name of labels and apply as many as you would like to as many cards as you like; This allows you to have very organised and detailed Lists, such as: Which can then be filtered by label, by member, or by date: There are many, many other things on Trello, however those are the Core functionality. Let's not even start on Power Ups which can be used to integrate Trello into many different platforms. I would definitely recommend Trello, and if you do decide to start using it, please go via this link which will give me a referral :- https://trello.com/natewiggett1/recommend Please let me know what you think, and if this guide is helpful. Any questions, post them here and I will add them to this post with their answer

Anyone ever had a username where they replace some of the letters with numbers or use numbers because their first choice was taken? For me personally I'm not fond of them. I've always tried to avoid any form of number in my username purely because (now this is my personal opinion - I'm not trying to offend anyone here) I've always felt that I was sacrificing some uniqueness by being "OriginalNameIWanted2" Example of complete replacements too: T34MK1LL3R or d34dp00l

Have fun having your unwind time. Development can be quite stressful if you don't allow yourself leisure time too :-)

That's the thing - it was never a goal I was conscious off - I don't even recall hitting 100 lol. Good luck catching up ?? It would be pretty cool if there was a medal for when people get to a significant milestone of posts, eg, 1,000 ??

Definitely. Even now, years after leaving previous projects, I like to go back to visit them and "play" them for nostalgia :-D

When viewing the reputation of a user's profile, the default tab selected is the one for "status updates". Most reputation is earned from forum posts, so it in my opinion it makes sense to show the posts as the "default" tab when viewing a user's reputation.

Haha yep. I never even considered I would get to 10 posts.. i planned to register as a lurker, but then @Digital tagged me in the "New Member Introductions" forum and I felt kinda obligated to get involved - and I'm glad I did haha ????

..and I'm quite surprised how quickly that went. I only just joined around a Month ago and I'm already getting these kind of Milestones. Thanks TGL for (out of no-where) becoming a significant part of my internet time

OMG! Dante, long time no speak! It is the same Nate from Icepets haha. How's life treating ya?

I think it comes down to if the users were actively exploiting it. If there is an accidental glitch and users realise there is an issue, it gets patched, data rolled back etc. However if there is a bug and users actively exploit it.. well in that case you need to take drastic action - warning and bans if neccessary. A few years age there was a bug with the banking system for a site i worked for. When you deposited 1.5 currency it would remove 1 unit from your hand, but add 2 to the bank. People setup bots to abuse this and farm millions in several hours. Once these users were discovered they were banned instantly along with the issue being fixed.

I couldn't agree more. It's great to see how much @Digital interacts with the community - in additional to creating new stuff in the background, upgrading the forums constantly (like the lastest clubs and blog update) and making sure everyone is following the rules.

Hi Digital, My game, currently in development is The Lost Fable (Link to Temp Forums, Link to The Gaming List's Club). It has been in development for around 2 years and I'm hoping to open in BETA form later in 2017. Optimistically in September, Realistically November-December time

These pets and their evolutions are really cool! I'm sure you will find a buyer for them.

Hi @Tanya and welcome to TGL! You can read this thread which links to all the various dos and donts along with Community Guidelines and just a general overview of what TGL is all about Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions

Thanks for the suggestion, @Elm I'll definately check them both out

Hi Elm, Thanks for th suggestion. Do you have any recommendations?

@Digital, keeping this thread on topic, but kind of going on on a tangent - have you ever tried Roblox's Game Studio? It is a simplified version of Unity - drag and drop some elements, set some triggers for collisions and whatnot, press a button and boom - automatically has multiplayer and scoring and whatnot integrated into it

Congratulations everyone that participated, and even more so to everyone that placed

Is there a definitive list somewhere of what the current feature list is? This might help us give a response and not describe things that are already on there haha

Hey @Tmra , Yeah by all players I meant it as a collective total. When 50 rubies have been mined (regardless of the number of users involved - it could be all by one person!), that is when 1 diamond will randomly spawn for a random user that is playing

@Bravefoot That's always the way haha! Thanks for the offer, it's really appreciated I'll inbox you soon

Thanks man, really appreciate it :-) ill maybe post another video later this week to show it in action haha :-)

lol I would have to agree! Rob has a strong sense of justice, and also finds luck on his side (obviously until the red wedding haha)
