Title: Hayleia and Matrefeytontias joins the Elite Coder group
Post by: Dream of Omnimaga on February 14, 2015, 05:03:31 PM
In a previous announcement (http://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=196.0), we started doing staff updates and made the new Elite Coder group, designed as a badge for notable programmers that offers some extra forum privileges, an official thing. The announcement stated that the next one would be on February 14th.

Today we are pleased to announce the addition of @Hayleia and @matrefeytontias to the Elite Coder (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=groups;sa=members;group=14) member group! They now have extra privileges regarding what sub-forums they can have in the Featured Projects section, they have access to the Safe-Haven board by default and they are now listed on CodeWalrus front page (http://codewalr.us/index.php) and About (http://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=28.0) section, along with the staff and the other Elite Coders.

Another member is still pending approval for addition to the Elite Coders group as hasn't replied to his last PM yet to confirm he is still interested. Should he still show interest towards such position (and the site), there might be another Elite Coder addition very soon. In the future, the Elite Coders group will be opened to good programmer who wants to join and is interested in helping CodeWalrus grows, although places might still be limited.

Hayleia is currently working on Super Smash Bros Open, a TI-84 Plus game clone which made the headlines on several big gaming websites, while Matrefeytontias is working on a Super Hexagon clone called Axagon, written in Axe language.


Also, the Featured projects section (http://codewalr.us/index.php?action=forum) was finally updated after some delays. Subforums for smaller projects were added for two Elite Coder and a Mana Force CSE sub-forum was added as well.

Oh I thought it was still not complete. :P But anyway the sub-forum is called Matrefeytontias' projects (for your smaller, non-nKaruga/Worm-esque stuff) so anything that isn't a quadratic guessing snake game would fit there. :P


You are also the first Elite Coder to lack an avatar <_<

I suspect you might have some good chances in a few months if we start letting people apply. :P But of course there isn't an estimate yet since we try to add new people based on how fast the site grows so it won't look like 100% of the active members are Elite Coders or staff. :P

Awesome, thanks :D
Just don't expect an interesting update on SSBO anytime soon because I need to do one of those changes that don't introduce any feature but that is necessary for progress to continue. And it is a lot more annoying to do than "just" putting data outside of the app.

Congratulations to the new ECs! Also, I'd like to suggest we start doing these updates every month on the 14th.

Well I don't think we will hire new staff or elite coders every 14th, though, else we will have like 60 in a few years :P

In even more off-topic response to the off-topic note, will March's Project Periodical include February projects? (assuming that PP is still a thing) Also although Robotics is almost done, what happens if you make the finals? I once checked the website and it seemed like there were finals/playoffs as far as June.  O.O

Maybe or maybe not. I have yet to decide. What I meant is the build season is done. we have a competition later, and if we win, we go on to worlds in April.

nReuben will return

Oh ok. For PP I was wondering since if both months are merged into one, this would result into both months' programs competing against each others if you ever decide to make PP a playoff-style contest, resulting into unfair advantage for programs of other months. As for robotics will you have to do a brand new robot if you ever make the competitions?
