JetPunk Change Log
We've added picture choices to Multiple Choice quizzes, simply select the green image icon and select a picture, then it will appear as a choice instead of text!
You can also choose the layout of the choices now, as well as having up to 8 options instead of 6!
We added Super Tables to many more pages, including All Featured Quizzes and Recent User-Quizzes.
You can now schedule a quiz to be in a series once released. To do this, schedule a quiz as normal and then select a series from the selection box in the scheduler window. The quiz will be added to the series immediately after scheduling.
We added more regions and updated the user countries map shown on users' profiles. You can edit your own map here: Edit Countries Visited Map.
A massive thank you to IAB whose subdivision maps were a massive help in getting this update done
You can now search and filter quizzes on the Create Quiz page by type and language.
Today we added a way for user's to add tags to their French quizzes. Originally, French tags were only given by Stewart or Quizmaster, but now we have given the option for Premium french users to access this feature for their quizzes as well. Note that French tags are not fully created yet, so if a tag doesn't exist right now, it may do in the future.
If you have French quizzes, a new button on "Create" at the top will appear for you to add tags to your French quizzes. Alternatively visit this page.
Quizmaster released a new minigame, and this time evil demons are, yet again, trying to destroy the United States!
Try your hand at putting back together the U.S. in our U.S. State Puzzle minigame!
For all Geography Snap fans, you can now enjoy Capital Cities alongside your usuals for the game. We've also expanded the game modes so you can select any combination of categories you wish!
Due to spam, users will now only be able to submit one blog post per 24 hours.
We've made some changes to the navigation bar at the top of the site to reduce crowding and allow for future additions.
We've made some improvements to Multiple Choice Quizzes, including the option to randomize questions!
We also added importing and exporting, akin to Text and Map quizzes, so you can export your quiz to a spreadsheet, as well as then importing a quiz from a spreadsheet. To see the formatting for this, try exporting a Multiple Choice quiz to see.
You can now see all series created by a user. This is linked on their user profile and on each of their series pages.
You can now see quizzes collaborated with you on the Create / Edit Quiz page. To uncollaborate from any quiz, simply click the button on the end of its row.
Today the index of information pages was updated with a modernized appearance.
You can now see the answer stats for an SVG quiz on the map! These are color-coded based on % guessed, just visit and quiz's stats page (that has an SVG and is non-randomized) to see it.
Obviously it was changed to make accessibility easier, and that was achieved. Thank you to Stewart and Quizmaster for your epic improvement of the site!
I'm sure if it stays like this I will get used to it, but the old way of having the top right look was way better.
In addition, if you want to search for a blog on a specific topic (let's assume the Geography of Yugoslavia), you will have to search all the blogs you find, until you get to the chosen topic. I know that JetPunk does not revolve around blogs, but I think it is an idea to consider.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatosu_and_Goblu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinderkennzeichnungs-_und_Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
These are all articles, that are approved on wikipedia, but I feel are less relevant than jetpunk.
The first url is about a bridge in North Carolina, that supposedly is short, but I have a shorter bridge 0.5 mi away from my residence that I couldn’t find an article about!
The second article is about two Non- existent Towns in Ohio. So If I wrote an article about Flugenshlaff, Arizona(a non-existent town) They’d approve it, but disapprove jetpunk?
The third one is about a German beef label, which I’m sure, is less relevant than jetpunk.
This evidence should prove your case for a jetpunk wiki.
For reference, I believe the most recent copy of the JetPunk Wikipedia article was rejected for being too much like a promotional article instead of an informational one. Feel free to edit the draft linked above but again, no guarantees.
EDIT: Apparently the draft for the page was declined once more and entirely rejected outright. I would assume now the only way to get a Wikipedia page is to promote the website itself.
The Norfolk Railway Bridge is online famous for Truck crashes and collisions. Videos of that bridge have amass over 50 million views, which safe to say earns it a Wikipedia page.
The fictional towns of Beatosu and Goblu are historically important to University of Michigan and the Ohio State University. They were publish across maps as a publicity stunt. The town of Flugenshlaff, Arizona has no importance whatsoever, and probably would not get approved.
The beef label is actually an important law that, while famous for it's long name, controls the supervision of beef products in Germany.
There's a city with 2 people, which is located close to where I live, and I do not know anybody that knows this city. Wikipedia has an article on that.
HOWEVER, there was never an article about the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, an important treaty that gave Texas and other parts of Mexico to the US after the Spanish-American War. There's literally a BrainPOP video on it. The article was created only recently though.
("Test quiz"
"Picture quiz"
"Multiple choice quiz"
"Tile select quiz") in on quiz
@GeoPhilia: "...When for the first I saw it, my instant thought was that they added profile pics on JetPunk, and cause I had none at that moment, it was the default profile pic..."
I saw these comments in the blog of @mundidades. I agree totally with them. When we are going to have profile pictures?
It's not inherently bad, but I don't think it's suitable for JetPunk.
So, plainly, whoever subscribes to you is none of your business.
Thus, it is impossible to do meaningfully.
All in all it's a lot of work for minimal gains, and would probably be easier for users to simply use the continent map, then enlarge it in Inkscape and remove the excess countries. This is a fairly simple process, even for new users at SVGs.
Just a thought, maybe on the interesting facts page there could be (similar to the heart button for comments) like an interesting button or something, idk what to call it. And you could like see which facts people found the most interesting. Sorry don't know how to phrase it.
The second is a major copyright issue, as users would just reupload any images they want which could get JetPunk into legal trouble (which we don't have the funds to deal with, so a serious copyright breach could shut JetPunk down entirely).
The final one is out of my control, the only way to do featured blogs is directly in the database, and currently I don't have direct access to the live database. However, when we eventually do a blogs update I plan to do a search function, along with a "verified" page of sorts that would act as an in between of "featured" and "all" blogs.
Thank you a lot! I'm now waiting for Christmas and maybe JetPunk Premium...
Please don't use an adblocker on JetPunk though :(
Blogs will be worked on sometime, not quite yet though. (I have lots of ideas)
Not sure on more types of quizzes, we don't have plans for that yet, but who knows! After all we didn't have plans for 3 nee minigames in 2020 yet here we are!
And I’m anxious for new minigames! Maybe one, like Even Split, that you need to organize random events in the history by order of date? Or one that you need to unscramble countries, states or capitals in the faster time?
And hear, I know that is wish to much, but let’s go. I plan a series of quizzes of state quizzes, but translated in Portuguese. And Quizmaster created then original ones. I don’t have his email, neither a email (the only that I have, is of school, but I can’t send an email for him). Despite this, he is to much occupied for answer me in JetPunk. As you are the most next JetPunker (and has a company with him), maybe you say to QM my idea, and he answer? ‘Cause I don’t want to explore the copyright...
Don't expect new minigames anytime soon, they take unique thoughts which don't occur often.
On the Portuguese states quizzes, I believe IAB was planning on doing them for Brazil and Portugal, to be featured after the country quizzes are complete. However I don't know the status of that so you should ask them (comment on their quizzes). There wouldn't be a copyright issue since QM's are US states not Portuguese states.
Also you wouldn't be banned for copyright, don't worry about that! You'd at worst have that single quiz hidden or removed, but never other quizzes or your account :)
I understand now, and unfortunately (for now) homepages are only for languages with points, and there's not enough quizzes in Japanese for them to be featured (let alone enough traffic to justify it)
Just from my experience, native users often feel bad when playing quizzes which are poorly translated. Though I'm not saying yours are bad
Feel free to post them if you wish!
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Well, that’s yet. Question: IAB did a agreement with Quizmaster for do the country quizzes in Portuguese? I’m asking this, ‘cause every quiz of this series in Portuguese were created by him. And I try to do a Belgium Country Quiz (Portuguese), and the IAB ones (created after), were featured.
I did see your Belgium one, but I cannot remember why I didn't feature it, sorry.
(Just as a note, the U.S. state quizzes won't be featured in case you're wondering, since they're not suitable for featuring in Portuguese. We don't automatically feature all translations, but only ones that are suitable in that language)
Btw, it’s your opinion.
P. S. My takes are ridiculous, and the trafic in Portuguese is very short. So, this is going to be difficult... lol
You can just make quizzes as you wish, then if they're well-received we can consider whether to feature any of them. I don't think presidents of brazil would be featured though, since there's little in English comparable to that. That shouldn't stop you from making it though.
Also, please don't tick the "this comment contains a correction or suggestion for the Quizmaster" box when referring to me, since I'll see the comment in notifications anyway, and I don't look at the comments for Quizmaster often.
This is because Quizmaster gets too many comments to read them all so relies on the "this comments contains etc..." box, whereas I check all my comments from notifications, as well as from all non-quiz/blog pages, so I always see when someone asks something here.
But anyway, do you have any plans for after the Country Quizzes series? IAB thought about anything? I want to start this series soon, and who knows, and who knows, have a resource. I didn't find anything about it, and I think it will help in the development of the language, in addition to being relevant content in my opinion.
As I've already said, regarding other series of yours, I'm not guaranteeing any features before the quizzes are live. That's not how it works. You should make the series if you want to, and then I can take a look and see whether they're suitable for featuring.
It's not a huge deal but sometimes it leaves odd spelling typoos or maflormed sentences beihnd.
Edit: YAY! NOW I CAN EDIT! Thanks Stewart!
I believe a JetPunk veteran such as someone2018 is well aware that editing comments can only be done for 60 minutes after posting :P
Much obliged, Stewart. I hated flooding quiz makers' notifications with near duplicate replies just to correct awkward wording or spelling.
1.Make the lowest time limit ten seconds
2.Add quizzes to the 196 badge
3.Type in a quiz by subject and quizzes will be ordered randomly.
4.Add these country type ins RSA for South Africa and Vatican State for Vatican City
5.Add an enter a series used by users.
2. adding quizzes to a badge is complicated, as what we don't unaward badges, so users that have the badge may not have completed all the requirements for it
3. could you elaborate a bit more on this? I'm not sure what you mean
4. RSA has been discussed above, and isn't happening. Primarily because if you type "RSA" on google, it isn't even on the first page of results so is not used enough to justify it. The latter is not necessary to add as only "vatican" is required for Vatican City.
5. could you elaborate more on this as well? I don't understand it
2. The meaning of the badge is if you know all 196 countries. What other quizzes could you possibly add?
3. I prefer featured quizzes at the top, and I think many others do too
4. No. Nobody says RSA, not even in RSA.
5. What do you mean? The ability to add other users’ quizzes to your own series? That would be a bit of a controversy.
6. And who is this “Fats Brown” you mention?
Most users have their personal names or schools in their email addresses. Making them public would be a massive breach of privacy, and will never happen as it would be illegal.
