Hi, my name's Matthew Ellis, I am 29 from Manchester, UK. I am a pro PHP Coder, SQL Coder and ASPX Coder, and have a degree and BNVQ in all. I helped develop InkLink, a game by shocwave, which has been a great success, I hope, if Peter allows me to help this game in as many ways as possible, including user registrations!

well, thats all for now.

Regards,
Matthew Ellis

Oh, I played Inklink before I found iSketch. Welcome to the forum, Matthew!
Peter isn't really the guy to talk to about the actual game, I think - he just runs the forum :)

Hello, welcome XX

Hi zMatthew.

INKLINK wow really.
Welcome to the forum.

Oh Peter is the big boss here, but for isketch it's Rob, you can email him via feedback info@isketch.net

jewels

Hi, yes, InkLink was one I helped with, I need to find someone who is admin on iSketch, the actual game... Any help?

EDIT: Thanks for the email address.

:O Inkink?!??!?! Shouldn't that have loads of hearts covering it?!

You need to email the link Jewels gave you to contact the big boss, Rob.

Welcome btw :)

It's a misconception I've gotton quite used too!

I have just emailed Rob, and hope to get the position, and help develop this wonderful game already, in my opinion, it has better potential than InkLink! But shush.

Thanks,
Matt

*cough* espionage *cough*

Just teasing, lol.

haha, behave Peter! You lingo man! *Private Joke although some clever people understand haha*

So... you know Queen well?

Welcome to the forum, Matthew. :)

PHP and SQL! Where were you a few days ago when I totally messed up my website? :sad: (PHP.is.*gasp*.hard!)

Mooovin' on...

Hope you have fun here.

Hi MsNerd, why what happened?

Hi MsNerd, why what happened?

I was trying to be clever.. and it didn't work. :embarrassed: The. End. lol
On a serious note I just really messed around with a lot of the background things, involving the databases. And I couldn't undo it. But I'm hopeful. I think I've sorted it out :)

Hey, just out of interest, have you learnt Ruby?

Man i just caught my first round of 5 stroke in ages! felt great! and i won!

Welcome matthew btw! Enjoy

er.. good job, 2.0. xD

you lost me in the second sentence. i think i'll just assume that it's something to do with.. technology. that works.


oh. right. welcome thread. ick, so many people say welcome.
/me digs around for the thesaurus

wow, i completely lost right now. when you say "welcome to the forum," is that a noun or a verb? ah well, i'll just say noun.

acceptance, blow, entertainment, entree, friendliness, glad hand, handshake, hello, high five, hospitality, howdy, low five, ovation, reception, red carpet, rumble, salutation, salute, tumble


i don't get half of those.



YAY FOR PLAYER REGISTRATIONS!

Hi, my name's Matthew Ellis, I am 29 from Manchester, UK. I am a pro PHP Coder, SQL Coder and ASPX Code.

Ohhh PHP =D!!


I helped develop InkLink, a game by shocwave.


I played InkLink before iSketch. I liked it =).

Well I hope you enjoy the forum and have a lovely time here x)!

I have just emailed Rob, and hope to get the position, and help develop this wonderful game already, in my opinion, it has better potential than InkLink! But shush.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt, can I be so nosey to ask, but apart from user registrations, what else is there to be developed on isketch ?

I think Isketch has been around for 6+ years, although I had only been there for 2 years, but apart from registrations I can't honestly see what else could be done, but hey your the expert not me. :razz:


edit:unless they liked my idea of having training rooms for newbies, and where players go who violate.

Welcome Matt. Have Fun X

I was thinking a tutorial room, where a video is played throughout in the room, an interactive one, player registrations...

That sounds interesting. I know a few noobs who could use something like that *cough*piggebuffstferr...me*cough* :P

I played Inklink today! First time for AGES! Crazy...

Lets hope you get the green light on that, sounds good to me.

Hi there matthew, welcome to the forum.
Its great to see someone who can bring something good to our isketch community.
Thanks for joining us, and i look forward to better things in the future, hopefully:razz:

Hello Matt! A warm welcome from me also!! Your experience will certainly be an asset to this forum, I am sure!

and umm.. Vik.. did I see a reference to moi in your little ramble :razz: cheeky!

And MsNerd - I have learnt all about Ruby's too... they are red, shiny and sparkly..... pretty expensive too! :razz:

Hi guys, thanks for the welcoming, greatly appreciated, little update, I have sent my application to be admin, with information of my coding experience, I hope to hear from the guys soon!

Well, for now.

Well, for now.

Good luck with that, it takes ages. It's better to not have expectations on a response to an admin application. As you can imagine, they get a lot of people applying (individual responses are unlikely unless you're chosen). I remember a few weeks ago, someone on the game told me that they're taking "ages to reply". I asked when they had applied to be an admin, and they said "3 days ago". Heh, people have been waiting years.

And I was just thinking about what you said regarding registrations. It came across as though you want to create them (if I'm not wrong) and develop the game further. Maybe Rob does already know how to do it, anyway. Since admins have registrations, already. It could be other things preventing him from doing it right now. And it might not be external help that is needed. That's just me speculating though, :P. I'm sure we'll get them when he's ready for it.

But if Rob needs you I guess you'll get chosen, so good luck with that. :)

Well, about the reply, I am just going to hope for the best, as I want to help the community.

About registrations, as to whether registrations has been done and just not available could be wrong, I think the admin accounts are hardwired into the database rather than done via registration, although I could be wrong.

I'll just hope, and maybe I'll have some luck. On the application for admin, it says recommendations, if I could get a few of those, I would stand I better chance I guess, so if you are willing to recommend me to help, please PM me so I can include you in my reommendation for application.

Regards,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

I think when they ask for recommendations - what they mean is recommendations by existing admin's. :biggrin:

Ah ;) Fair enough

Remember that Rob is smart enough to build isketch from scratch. It's a fantastic game with some really great, clever details within. I think he'd know how to do both handwired registrations and regular registrations. :) Of course, that's a huge guess, 'cause I don't know him. But if he's got the brains to do that, he certainly wouldn't need someone else to do it for him. I'm sure we'll get them when he's ready to do so :) Just a random guess.. but I don't think he's waiting for external help. He's smaaaaaart... look at isketch. lol

Don't get me wrong, I know you want to help the community and good luck with your application. And I'm not saying that you think Rob doesn't know how to do it. But that's how I read it... so if I read you all wrong, do correct me :)

Just out of curiosity ('cause I'm nosy..) what did you do at InkLink?

I am registered... I had to when I played it.

Am I the only one who hasn't played? (sorry Matt :P )
I found iSketch first... and then stayed. I would go check it out now, but well, what can I say? I don't want another addiction. *chuckle*

You won't get addicted there.

ROFL ROFL ROFL.. that is sooo true. And how did Inklink even get noticed on an iSketch forum....? The only thing I remember about that game were the little bubbles that pop up when people talking and learning new combinations on old swear words.

Anyways, seeing Rob's name and Inklink in the same thread has made me feel a little "green at the gills". I think I will go to bed.

zMatt... you may want to share your experience and expertise with Rob, you and he may hit it off really well, but the role of admins is in enforcing rules and maintaining a fun game experience for all (not coding).
