JetPunk Change Log
Users can now create their own JetPunk Charts. Just go to the main create page and then click "Create Chart".
You can now see all your friends' scores for Geography Snap! Simply click the link on the right-hand side of the Snap page, or go direct here: Geography Snap - Friends Stats
If you are sick of getting friend requests, you can now disable social features on your account.
Premium users can now compare two quizzes at once using the new "compare" report in Quiz Analytics.
On each map quiz's stats page, you can now display Your % on the map instead of the quiz's % as a whole. Example here
Also, on a user's page you can now filter quizzes by rating.
Because of too many repetitive quizzes, we will now be featuring quizzes from further down the list of nominated quizzes.
The quiz with the most nominations will still be featured each week, but any additional featured quizzes will be chosen based on CREATIVITY.
When editing images on desktop, you can now fix a specific aspect ratio to ensure the image is always the proportions you want (e.g. Square).
Randomized questions are now possible in Tile Select quizzes, however due to limitations of the stats system, you must have the same number of tiles in each question for this to be possible. Also, Tile Select quizzes can now have up to 100 questions instead of just 20.
You can also now change the question of Tile Select using left/right arrow keys or tab / shift+tab.
Minor improvements to groups, including the the owner being able to delete a group and edit its name and description. Also the ability to jump to a comment from the User Notifications page.
We have also added graphs to Friend Stats pages, similar to those within Quiz Stats
After some issues were brought up with the new "type in cells" of Step 2 in Text Quizzes, we have now changed this again to a different system. We believe this new system is much more reliable, with far fewer problems. The downside? You can no longer edit HTML directly, and so to do this use the new "Edit HTML" button.
A small downside for a small number of users, largely outweighed by the massive benefits in stability of the changes. Most of the changes were backend, so most users likely won't notice them.
This means to add <br> tags, you can just simply click enter in the cell!
Each of the current maps took about an hour to correctly tweak and configure to get working correctly, so I can confidently say nobody knows that information about their prospective map.
A "dot placer" which is just using pixels, like "show missing countries" is possible but would need to be something different to distinguish it from the latitude / longitude input.
So no, it can't happen.
2) That's not quicklinks that's people using custom html, it's not my responsibility to fix their errors.
3) complain to the blog maker not me
The search bar has a maximum limit of how many quizzes it shows, based on the first 3 letters typed in. So for really common starting words, the results will only show the most taken not all of them. E.g. "Countries Nauru" shows different results to "Nauru Countries" because there's far fewer quizzes matching "NAU" than that match "COU".
It has to be done this way because of the hundred thousand quizzes on JetPunk, so sometimes searching with the rarer word first is more effective.
This is where your quiz is struggling, because all the words in your quiz are popular search terms, or rather are words used in thousands of quizzes, so it becomes more difficult to find until it gets more takes.
Edit: I figured out the problem. Because the rest of the blog is sensitive to whatever you do on the link adder, whenever I click on "Enter URL..." it always deselects my component and therefore when I click "Add", there is nothing for the link to go to.
I spent a lot of time getting this working and it still does for me, so I need more information on how it happens for you. Including Browser, Operating System and what you do to get the issue.
"Nobody knows which quiz is your best quiz better than you yourself"
So it is entirely intentional, and completely up to the user whether they want to spotlight their own quiz or do it for other people.
I have put the cities on a "map of oceana"using dot placer. I have got the map now on inkscape. How do I put the cities on to a map of Queensland in the same place?
If that's what you want, I'd recommend getting an image of queensland's border in Australia, then tracing the border to add a version of it to the map.
So essentially you will need to draw the borders by hand using the "bezier / curve" tool, as shown in the SVG Guide. This allows you to draw straight lines, and continue into shapes.
First, get an image from Google Maps or otherwise of the Queensland borders and paste the image into Inkscape, then in the "Fill and Stroke" options, set opacity to something like 50%.
You then need to align the image onto Australia's path in the SVG, this is done by hand by moving, rotating and resizing the image itself (not the SVG!) so that its edges match those of the SVG. After that simply draw on top using the tool, tracing the borders shown in the image.
I think Boxy SVG better to use, is used by ThatOneGuy25. On Inkscape, I dunno how. But if you want to try Boxy, you can follow this instructions.
Each user, when granted a spotlight to give, can only give this to one quiz. The person who created the quiz that gets spotlighted is unaffected.
Could you have a look at it for me please?
I have to get off my computer now because it is late, so you won't be able to communicate with me until tomorrow.
I have requested you join a private group so that you can communicate, now and in the future hopefully.
I mean are they choosed completely random or the higher level the more chances?
I'm not the best with SVG's so if its too complicated whoever can use this idea.
(1) is entirely intentional as it's "nicer" than telling a user they've been blocked.
(2) happens when a comment is posted and requires moderation (e.g. from a new user) and then another comment gets posted after that but from an old user. Then the new user's comment will suddenly appear after being moderated. There's no way around this
The ironic, is that my mom’s birthday is today, and despite she also, who received the gift was me, and all the JetPunkers with this update lol
However it seems to be gone now, at least on quiz pages. It still appears in the preview section, thought it's not much of a bother. Maybe it was related to what KingEureka was experiencing.
And does this happen on other websites?
It only ever used to be one quiz a week, so the fact you're getting more from further down that are creative is a privilege not a right.
If you could make this possible I would really appreciate it:)
1. Highlight the entire landmass in question, namely the larger, noticable island ones (greenland, puerto rico ect), and when it is guessed have the landmass turn green instead of staying the same color
2. Make disputed territories a different color, and turn them green when guessed.
I'm bad at following directions, but if you don't want to collab I can try and follow them too.
This quiz is one of my only quizzes that I really have enjoyed making, so I want to improve it as much as possible.
Thanks in advance!
The quiz
For analytics, this was done because Quiz Analytics is a costly part of JetPunk, storing how many takes every quiz you own got every day for the last 5 years. This is a big cost to store all this information, so it made sense to also put this under Premium as well.
This is all explained in detail in JetPunk's SVG Guide
You're more than welcome to advertise your charts on other websites, in fact we highly encourage you to do so!
Population Comparison: Salvador VS. Recife
For the line clicking, it only shows data that exists. So clicking on a line between two points should show nothing. But clicking on the corner points where data has been entered should show the data. Not sure about mobile.
You can then change the format of the date in the "custom formatting" on the axes settings. Lookup on Google how to do date formatting on google charts.
For a continuous axis, set the data column type to one of: number, date, datetime or timeofday.
I went to Data, on the chart, and then I wrote “date”, “datetime”, “timeofday” on the header row. It still don’t work. I put the year-month, such as “2021-07”.
The text you put in Step 2 must be of the format YYYY-MM-DD, including all parts. So "2021-07" will fail, you msut include the day. For generic months, use the first, e.g. 2021-07-01.
The "custom formatting" I'm on about is the "Number Format" section of the Axes options in Step 3.
Here are some examples:
"d MMM" will show "1 Mar", "5 Sep" and "23 Nov".
"MMMM" will show "March", "September" and "November".
"MM-YY" will show "03-21", "09-21" and "11-21".
"MMM, YYY" will show "Mar, 2021", "Sep 2021", "Nov, 2021".
And so on... You can play with combinations of "d" "M" and "Y" to show various parts of the date. Including other options for day of the week and so on.
End of the day reply notifications are something people wanted for years and you're not having. It's somewhat complicated to do, and the increased flame wars because of them make the site so much harder to moderate, and would result in much fewer updates and new features because of the increased time moderating comments.
Social media like Facebook, Reddit etc... have teams dedicated to moderation, as well as a team of lawyers for when things get tricky. We have barely 2 people, since I also have a different full time job I'm not sure I count as a full person.
The only way comment replies happen is if JetPunk employs more people, and that's impossible because JetPunk can't afford to employ more people.
Eventually I'll add manual ordering within series anyway.
I'm away on holiday at the moment so it won't be too soon.
What this site does it tries to check whether there are any errors in your SVG, and if they are it will tell you what they are.
Unable to Determine Parse Mode!
The validator can process documents either as XML (for document types such as XHTML, SVG, etc.) or SGML (for HTML 4.01 and prior versions). For this document, the information available was not sufficient to determine the parsing mode unambiguously, because:
in Direct Input mode, no MIME Media Type is served to the validator
No known Document Type could be detected
No XML declaration (e.g ) could be found at the beginning of the document.
No XML namespace (e.g ) could be found at the root of the document.
As a default, the validator is falling back to SGML mode.
What this mean, and how fix?
<svg viewBox="200 118.554 597.784 267.131" width="597.784" height="267.131">
The problem is that this line does not currently have a "xmlns" attribute. This attribute indicates what the symbols all mean, by default it assumes it is html, but for SVGs we have to add it in if making manually. Inkscape does this automatically.
You need to add this after the "<svg " part:
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
Hopefully this fixes your first problem at least :)
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="200 118.554 597.784 267.131" width="597.784" height="267.131">

Curiously, this regard to the images, because below, it says a link with </image>. Also, my quotation marks (") before the </image>, and after the link of image, are red, saying as invalid. Idk what is it. I just added one more image (a doctor), and added that part of xmlns.
No Character encoding declared at document level
Using Direct Input mode: UTF-8 character encoding assumed
What does that mean?
You need to either make an SVG doctor (probably by tracing the image like you do for maps) or find an SVG doctor online that's free to use.
This also means that, when the game is over, there is no way to know what score the user got.
Also, would be a VERY bad idea to have profile comments? Because some subjects don’t have about a quiz and would dodge the subject.
And I agree, profile comments would be a very bad idea!
This was purposefully done so users would advertise their own charts in other places, rather than relying on JetPunk traffic (as they do for blogs). You can see a user's charts by going to their profile, and clicking "<user>'s Charts" if they have any.
