Update Log
chats now include a "load older messages" button so you can view more than 50 messages back!
i've also added a rules page as a general guideline for chatrooms. it's not that serious, just attempt to moderately behave yourselves. i aim to be a benevolent god
arrow buttons to navigate between worm detail pages on mobile/narrow screen
worm fan leaderboard pages should also behave more appropriately with long usernames, and scores over 999 are rounded and condensed.
couple of bbcode accessibility options added! it's integrated with the site-wide "proper english" feature, so you can add alt text to any regular text or text emoticons!
also fixed it so that you can use [u] underline tags
need to enable alt text for bbcode images next
Using the New BBCode Parser by Sean Werkema and Vanilla Forums to enable basic message styling! Current options listed in my very bare-bones BBCode guide. This is much better than what we had before (which was... you could put literally any HTML you wanted in there. not good or smart lol)
I've also added a basic warning page before opening external links sent by other users. Safety first and whatnot.
chat interface now shows the user's selected icon instead of a placeholder! also no longer accepts blank messages, and admin/mod messages have a colored border for some added clarity.
the old worm chat relied on an outside host (chattable), the new one is entirely locally hosted so I have more control & it should be more reliable! I can also make new chat rooms whenever, so if I want to add chats to other parts of the site I can do that. hooray
getting it to update on everyone's screens when a new message comes in was the most annoying part tbh. the solution I figured out is a little clunky but good enough for now. I also need to fix the page refreshing when you send a new message because it's unnecessary and creates a flash of content, but that's a problem for later
Game window is now transparent with sketched in foreground/background elements
Health potions added, worm movement has been adjusted, and larger fish species are prevented from spawning too close together. Also basic navigation buttons so you aren't trapped on the page!
Added several interactive elements to the trinkets page. Hover over things to check it out!
I've added more images to the trinkets page, along with a little house charm for the home button.
I've also made it so you get around by clicking and dragging instead of scrolling. Definitely not mobile-friendly but I think it should work on various PCs, let me know if you notice issues! Locking it so it can't go out of bounds was kind of a pain honestly, but I think this makes it a lot more fun to look at.
