Kongregate

Started working on getting TP on Kongregate: http://www.kongregate.com/games/zoomorph/tankpit

It should automatically create an account and tank (assuming the username passes the tank name filter) for Kongregate users.

I'm thinking I'll keep it very simple. People can google TankPit and use the main site if they want to create multiple tanks, etc.

Still lots of cosmetic and user experience tweaks to be made, I'm sure. Feedback or suggestions welcome.

Kongregate users can go to TankPit.com to set their email and password, verify account, and create new tanks.

If they want to log out, they either have to log out of Kongregate and refresh the game page, or log out on TankPit directly. I guess I should make it auto-log them out 5 minutes after they last played, or something.

TODO:
- Link existing account with Kongregate ID.
- "Log in with Kongregate" on the login page.
- Test manual creation of first tank name, when Kongregate username contains bad language.

Everyone should go in and give the game a 5 star rating and add it to their favourites. Shit like that helps games pop up more in search results

There's gotta be someone you trust to do this on your behalf.

like a school newspaper is run by the students, just supervised by a faculty member....

Set up the page on the site. select a few, voted it or chosen, to do all the grunt work and just supervise the work. Perhaps they make the "Issue" and submit it you for approval and implementation.
