SquirrelGuy-5 It's, uhh, not that simple. I would know.

[WUT] Adam yeah dude, I know.

But still I’m sure I could figure it out.

[WUT] Adam Lol. If it were that simple then there would probably already be a hacked project or two on there. And then chats would keep going...

maybe you could make your own public projects site linked to the forum where people input project ids and it shows up on a gallery

Holy shit, code.org is fucked for good

SquirrelGuy-5 blackhat moment

I reached out to Code.org and this is what they said:

We are not currently taking submissions to the featured gallery, but we will eventually allow all students to submit their projects to be featured. Thank you for your patience while we work to get the new gallery fully functional.

It also links this article for more information.

So apparently the plan is to launch the new gallery now, and add a feature for project submissions later. The projects in the gallery will “rotate periodically throughout the year”, and anyone can suggest a project to feature as long as it doesn’t break the Terms of Service.

And naturally, there’s a catch: projects that are featured cannot be edited until they are removed. This means that if you make a really good game and manage to get it featured, you can’t change any of the code, potentially for several months. The only option is to remix, and then of course it’s not featured.

Binary_Coder I looked into it, and the way that they prevent featured projects from being edited is the frozen property for a project's /v3/channels/ url. Manually setting the frozen property to true, obviously, prevents you from editing it, but also shows a "Congratulations, your project is featured" message in the "My Projects" tab.

It makes me wonder if a featured project could be edited if you simply manually disabled the frozen property after it gets featured...

They most likely removed it because of chats. Tbh, it would've been better if they removed the keyValues() instead of removing the whole project gallery, since it'll prevent chats while projects still being able to be published. I am working on a project that's pretty big but probably only the gamelab forum gets to see it. And Retro Pong, I had 2.7k visits on that thing and I even promised to make a new ball but they'll probably never get to see it. Without keyValues() instead of the project gallery, I would've been fine with that.

Why was I given a strike?

seek spamming i think

But hey everyone, if you want to see projects before the incident, just use magical "WayBack Machine"

[WUT] Adam
huh i guess i'll have to try that out...
wait what's stopping someone from getting rid of the "id" property

bad idea ahead ... or changing the thumbnail of a featured project to nsfw stuff 😱...

ackvonhuelio You can't change the id property. It automatically resets it to the channel ID.

[WUT] Adam
what about the bad idea

well boys, it was fun while it lasted

DragonFireGames
nuh uh

ackvonhuelio guess i gotta go to khan now
