New Rankings
« on: May 15, 2018, 08:40:20 PM »

Hi everyone!


Did you notice that there are new rankings for the forums page? I was able to sneak into the source files and drop in some of PB's images to make the forums a little more interesting.

Check out this image to see the current ranking system:



The same image can also be found on the sticky topic at the top of the Announcements page of these forums.


I get a star because I am special!

I had too much fun with this...

Could you maybe change the last one from the wizard or whatever to something else? Like the default character? I think that would be better.

Why so?  :o  Wizard is a Platform Builder character too. Also this enemy is the most advanced one and justified to be the last one or one of the last ones.
Main character is a nice idea too, of course and fits to be some kind of power user. Can be for 300+ members then!?  ::)

I think however, that Bipi and Bizz are too underrated.

It's good to see the new rankings, of course, I thought also on this a lot ago, but it's very cool.

Also, the enemy power order can change depending on the properties the enemy inherits. I mean, If I put a gruppy with 50 of health, strong strength and other stuff like that, the gruppy will be like the most op.
:D :D :D :D
Sorry because my English is not very good because I'm Spanish ;) :P

But if you give 50 health to Bizz and more other properties you mentioned think how difficult it would be to catch him! You probably die before you can head jump on him 50 times especially because he also can fly in addition to his speed. :)  Even Wizard would be easier considering that you just can wait until he teleports near to you to jump on him.

It's not necessary to make a Bizz fly, can be perfectly a ground enemy. ;)

Just to clear the air, the ranking is partially determined by look. For instance, Bipi is first because the enemy is so small. Trex is near the end because the enemy is large and looks intimidating.

I really thought that, anyway, it's cool to have images by ranking related to Platform Builder.

Well then I can see now why the wizard is last. I still would prefer the character. Could you do more changes to the forums Ting Thing?

You don't need to make Bizz to fly because this enemy is already a flying type.

Okay! :) I understand your reasons and you are actually quite a right if considering their look.

Isn't already a flying enemy if you make it with the custom enemy editor ;).

I think a good forum for Platform Builder forums will be a review forum, where people can review other people's games...

Yes but because a custom enemy with the same sprite as Bizz have is not Bizz. It is a new enemy whom you can give a name by yourself. :)

I agree with this one and I like that idea very much. :)

Isn't a review forum what you guys are already doing in the Completed Sandbox and Completed Games section?
