Users rule
Users are so cool.
A few days ago I added a feature to clutu that allows you to publish your game on the front page, so that anyone can join in. Since then I've been watching people play games, and chatting with them sometimes. Nothing beats the instant feedback you get this way. Here's a snippet from a recent game:
...
jornt: /check
clutu: everything is ok
crazyb: it says everything is ok but it obviously isn't
jornt: /check
clutu: everything is ok
jornt: what is wrong then?
crazyb: nr 24
crazyb: aioe ?
jornt: hmmm
jornt: isnt there a word in the dic?
jornt: /check
clutu: everything is ok
Player87: hey guys, this is bill - I wrote clutu...
sorry the check isn't working right for that clue...
Player87: I'll fix it as soon as I can
crazyb: cool
jornt: /check
clutu: everything is ok
crazyb: thanks for a great game
Player87: I can tell you the correct answer if you like?
crazyb: very addictive
crazyb: sure
Player87: thanks :-)
jornt: yeah its very addictive ;)
Player87: 24 across should be "mite"
jornt: thank you!
Player87: glad you're enjoying the game
Player87: no problem
jornt: btw
jornt: bill you should do something on input validation
jornt: cause stuff like
hello
works
Player87: yup, I've been meaning to get around to that - definitely high on the list!
Player87: thanks for reminding me :-)
jornt: you're welcome ;)
jornt: crazy-b we only need 16....
crazyb: hmm yeah
...
In just a few minutes these guys let me know about two bugs, and gave me some awesome complements that put a spring in my step for the rest of the day. You can't buy that kind of feedback.
