Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Yoink!

Pico Day Medals

Posted by TomFulp Apr. 23, 2009 @ 12:52 PM EDT

Goldfish has hooked me up with a tool that lets me set up Medals on NG. Eventually YOU GUYS will have tools for doing this directly, but for now I wanted to help anyone who is making a game for Pico Day, or has a cool idea for a medal that could go in their Pico Day movie... Think about secret interactive elements, like easter eggs.

The IMPORTANT THING is that this will still take some implementation work on your end. If you haven't been able to get Flash Ads working, then you probably won't be able to get this working either... You don't need a lot of actionscript skill but you need to be familiar enough to make sense of it.

Also, I'm worried about getting flooded, so please only contact me if you are making something you've put some serious work into. :)

You can give out as many as 500 points if it's a FULL GAME, 250 points for a mini game, and 50 for movies. There are specific point values you can award per medal:

5 pts - Easiest
10 pts
25 pts
50 pts
100 pts - Hardest

Allocate them however you see fit. What we need from you is:

1) A 50x50 icon for each medal
2) A short name for each medal.
3) A short description for each medal.
4) Visit this page and set up an API entry for your game.
5) Email me with all this info, include your USER NAME and the SUBMISSION NAME you entered for the API entry!

I will put your info in the system and then email you with further instructions to implement the medals. You can email the above materials to tom AT newgrounds DOT com!

Apr. 23, 2009 | 12:55 PM JT1 says:

Thanks Tom. I hope to see many games with medals for Pico Day.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 12:58 PM SamIam says:

No wonder why, we have female golfers.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 12:59 PM RENstyles says:

o_o


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:07 PM Jonas says:

That's some mighty hot shit there Tom. Stuff looks like it's moving along :)


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:10 PM KuoryDaNinja says:

Medals in movies? Sounds original but a bit 'over-do' don't ya think?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:18 PM Wasim says:

oh so horny
oh me so horny
OH me love you long time


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:37 PM Dylawrence says:

Looks like scotty's gettin NEWGROUNDS tattooed on his back...

it's at almost 2000 already!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:40 PM Shadowii2 says:

I'm tempted to go and add couple of easter eggs in to my Pico Day movie, as it's finished (just need to add the pico day preloader).

Gotta look forward to some of those awards!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:43 PM mayoarm11 says:

nice :D


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:44 PM xXxAlecxXx says:

Sweet


Apr. 23, 2009 | 1:56 PM Wonchop says:

Ah, good ol' glasscock. Haven't seen you since early B3ta days.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:04 PM q13qew says:

Dude can we atleast have something to know what games have medals or will and awesome pico day the medal system is getting better and better

Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:57 PM TomFulp responds:

We have a page for that coming soon!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:13 PM Nicholas-Deary says:

Sounds awesome, I hope the 'games with medals' collection page is up soon :D


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:21 PM hiii111 says:

Cute cock..


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:32 PM Rutger says:

sounds awesome dude. I might put some easter eggs in my pico day cartoon.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:38 PM ILikeMudkips says:

YAY FOR SPAM MEDAL FLASHES


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:54 PM Akkere says:

Hmm ironic is that the trophy isnt actually a glass cock. it only looks like that on first glance but it actually is just a regular trophy........(I hope)


Apr. 23, 2009 | 2:57 PM super-sense says:

Once this feature becomes public for all users, couldn't spammers just create short flashes with easy to get medals, just so they can point harvest?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:01 PM Mattster says:

That is pretty awesome. However, will there be say. . Medal Mods? (in the future when WE have the tool) Since I can just predict spammers posting tons of videos, and making very easy medals. . . You know what I mean.

This is exciting :) Nice picture btw.
-Matt


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:02 PM Psycho-Pickle says:

Medals made by users that wont be approved by you guys seem that they'll end up being incredibly stupid, or incredibly hard.

Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:50 PM TomFulp responds:

There's still gonna be an approval process.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:07 PM ImpendingRiot says:

You need to give out trophies like that instead of tanks sir.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:09 PM cyotecody555 says:

Sounds really awesome


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:11 PM MrScriblam says:

Thats great. too bad my pico day game is never going to be finished primarily due to my extreme ignorance of actionscript


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:12 PM 14hourlunchbreak says:

This is godsend. Thank you thank you thank you. Do we need to provide the pictures in the email to you?

Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:51 PM TomFulp responds:

Yup! I got your email and sent back the implementation files!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:23 PM ForNoReason says:

Nice picture Tom.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:29 PM Rucklo says:

Hey, is that Annika Sörenstam?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:40 PM fortmike says:

that looks...pritty... strang ?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 3:59 PM dbz4eva says:

Cool, a woman licking a glass cock. What was this post actualy about?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 4:36 PM WTG says:

Thanks... Ha Ha Ha XD cheerios!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 4:45 PM therealanimator says:

q13qew is right what will be the new pico day games with medals?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 4:47 PM Iamjohn says:

Awesome :D But if any game can have medals in, won't that start to be crap? I mean, like when people can add medals themselves, people will just make crappy flashes that will reward you achievement points when you open the screen.. KK amirite?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 5:11 PM FetusFulp says:

sending you a PM :3


Apr. 23, 2009 | 5:58 PM Eammy says:

I understand fully the advantage of achievements, but what are the points for? Are they any use to me, or is it just for showing off?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 5:59 PM kittykittycat100 says:

i think she likey her new toy


Apr. 23, 2009 | 6:04 PM ZaDrugLord says:

Omg pico day :O almost forgotten.
Good luck to any animators who're gonna do something on that glorious day :D


Apr. 23, 2009 | 6:05 PM BedroomComics says:

That's great. Tom. Remind me again, when is Pico Day? I think it's April 30th, but I have things going around & it's hard remembering everything. So I need a reminder.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 6:42 PM deevvon says:

Being able to make your own medals is pretty good.

PS: That Women's Golf trophy was no coincidence.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 6:43 PM kiraisme says:

i would let her like my metal


Apr. 23, 2009 | 6:43 PM GibGib says:

nice


Apr. 23, 2009 | 7:03 PM FrozenFire says:

I might possibly have a non-pico game that could use these, but I don't want to get into that until later :)


Apr. 23, 2009 | 7:20 PM darknessdweller says:

Is that April kissing a dildo?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 7:35 PM JACK-IN-THE-DARK says:

After the tool been released the flashs could need to get to a certain score so the medals stay active, before that giving no information that the game have any type of medals so people don't vote 5 just to make the medals available, but you guys probally already have a plan so this won't be spammed.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 7:42 PM Kevin says:

Sent that email :)

Please accept?

Apr. 24, 2009 | 2:31 AM TomFulp responds:

Got the email and sent you the stuff!


Apr. 23, 2009 | 7:46 PM Sonucais says:

If I ever need help I'll tell you Tom. Probably one hit game I'm on the making will be released in few months.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 8:20 PM valval26 says:

Wow man very cool.

Great Tom! When will the medal tool be made public?


Apr. 23, 2009 | 11:41 PM Fiziks says:

Is that a crystal dildo?

Damn, talk about rock-solid.


Apr. 23, 2009 | 11:47 PM Goat-Man says:

I thought you were talking Pico Day trophies.
A system for winners of special days and occasions still needs to be made to add trophies to their movies


Apr. 24, 2009 | 12:41 AM Gonzossm says:

I love you tom


Apr. 24, 2009 | 1:34 AM starBlinky says:

I have a lot of questions about the medals.

What versions of actionscript does it work with? AS1 plz??
Will they ever update dynamically like kongregates medals do (updates as you play the game)?

..ok just 2 questions for now.. but I need to know the first one, and I want badly the second one to become true for so many reasons.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 1:50 AM Maximus says:

Can't wait.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 2:43 AM Nevarato says:

so can we do anything with the medal points yet?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 4:36 AM wynand says:

Thanx tom, you just keep making newgrounds a better place =)
I'm really burning for an rss update for the news posts though =D lol i'm excited. Anything else your planning to throw our way?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 5:00 AM xellon says:

i'm sooo turned on right now
xD
just kidding


Apr. 24, 2009 | 5:38 AM Magyar says:

I heard wade was a cool guy, is this true?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 6:34 AM MrRandomist says:

Thanks Tom i might do this!


Apr. 24, 2009 | 7:28 AM M-Y says:

Looks interesting, I might try it.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 7:52 AM Sonicx22 says:

Great update tom


Apr. 24, 2009 | 8:08 AM CcZero says:

I thought she was licking a huge dildo.

What can I say, I've got a dirty mind.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 10:57 AM matt-likes-swords says:

Any chance of getting medals for a game that's not about Pico?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 2:37 PM megafart117 says:

OMG ACCIDENTAL DILDO...................KISS KISS


Apr. 24, 2009 | 3:26 PM Rhete says:

@starBlinky

I asked PsychoGoldfish earlier and he said that the medal API won't work with AS1. I hope this changes though, I was pretty surprised to see Pico's School with medals so maybe it has.

Apr. 24, 2009 | 11:04 PM TomFulp responds:

Pretty much anything in AS1 can be exported as AS2, as long as you're in a version of Flash that supports AS2. I didn't have to change any Pico code, I just had to export it as AS2 to support the new features.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 4:22 PM Chdonga says:

Is the chick in that pic kissing a glass penis!?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 4:51 PM nitrogyen says:

a medal called
"trigger happy"
shoot everything in the game e.g: trees, boxes, ect?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 5:02 PM max15946 says:

hey tom did you get my e-mail?


Apr. 24, 2009 | 10:44 PM st91 says:

The frickin m-bot deleted my review for as3 tutorial (spam) because when i left a comment about how awesome the tutorial was (sarcasm) the dumbass who made the movie changed the movies name to super mario hentai xxx so everyone thought i was blabbing on about something else. FUCK THE MOVIE EDITING THING! MAKE IT SO YOU CANT EDIT YOUR MOVIE AFTER YOU POST IT!


Apr. 24, 2009 | 10:46 PM st91 says:

its not a cock dumbasses. its a trophy thing with a golfball on the end.


Apr. 24, 2009 | 11:25 PM xXxAlecxXx says:

WHAT'S YOUR BABY'S NAME AGAIN? I DIDN'T HEAR YOU.


Apr. 25, 2009 | 9:53 AM Barrelsfox says:

How are we going to get Movie medals watch them over again? Find Easter eggs or secrets?


Apr. 25, 2009 | 12:44 PM luigipwnsmario says:

medals for movies? WTF?


Apr. 25, 2009 | 1:06 PM Strategize says:

Hey Tom, when can we expect to see medals in movies?

Apr. 25, 2009 | 2:13 PM TomFulp responds:

We're gonna dabble with medals in movies but it will be more reserved for big releases.


Apr. 25, 2009 | 2:46 PM max15946 says:

hey tom im working on a pico card game but i need pic can you help?


Apr. 25, 2009 | 3:22 PM flashnoob555 says:

soo umm, pico 2??


Apr. 25, 2009 | 3:28 PM rsslee43 says:

kewl.


Apr. 25, 2009 | 4:18 PM C1ph3r says:

Cool. I'm planning on adding medals to my Flash submission.


Apr. 25, 2009 | 4:35 PM C1ph3r says:

Hey Tom, do you know where I can get sprites for Pico? I need some for my Flash.


Apr. 25, 2009 | 4:45 PM Chdonga says:

You'll need to make them yourself, C1ph3r


Apr. 25, 2009 | 7:37 PM Tingle says:

Everyone hates me. Why they are banning me? :-(


Apr. 26, 2009 | 1:43 AM MrRandomist says:

I sent you an email of the medals stuff!!!
i hope youve recieved it!


Apr. 26, 2009 | 12:54 PM PortalDefenders says:

I wonder if any1 has achieved all the medals possible so far? :)


Apr. 26, 2009 | 3:48 PM Mattster says:

So wait. . . Medals in Movies? I am working on a collab with some other people, it is nearly finished, would it be possible to add medals into the collab? As either Easter Eggs, or what-not, maybe secret medals? By "dabble" do you mean work on more, or think about if you will do it or not? I think it would be a great idea, giving everyone a chance at medals (as long as you know SOME AS to set them up).

:)


Apr. 26, 2009 | 9:26 PM LordAtomaton says:

so your saying your gonna give us instructions to add medals to our flash games?


Apr. 26, 2009 | 10:18 PM Foxpwned says:

Hi Tom,I know you´re a busy person,and all...but speaking of medals,can you put a "edit" button on the users achievements?because it would be nice to show our favourite medals instead of the recent ones...the "portal defenders" and "newgrounds pass 3" medals are my favourites,and I wish I could see them in my userpage again...well that´s just an idea...

see ya.


Apr. 27, 2009 | 12:18 AM Kwing says:

What are the variables for Level Rank and Whistle status? (Such as ng_username being the variable for the Newgrounds username.) I want to make a game with HP based on Level, Attack Power based on Rank, and Special Abilities based on Whistle Points! (If you don't want me revealing peoples' actual whistle score, I swear I'll leave out the exact variable.)


Apr. 27, 2009 | 1:52 AM sniper1413 says:

boy thats a long trophy wonder whats shes gonna do with it :p


Apr. 27, 2009 | 4:22 AM BloodGauntlet says:

thanks for the heads up tom, ill definatly be looking for those medals = P
catch


Apr. 27, 2009 | 4:38 PM WTG says:

I like your game that was called Picos school! Are use that game 4 pico day?


Apr. 27, 2009 | 5:25 PM jakenator85 says:

finally, ya know, you might have to eventually make a whole new section for games with medals in them, once there's a lot of course......is that a dildo!?


Apr. 27, 2009 | 5:44 PM SassyCatMan says:

I think there is a bug with "The beard" medals.


Apr. 27, 2009 | 5:54 PM SassyCatMan says:

Oh nvm I guess it was slow for me to achieve medals.....and you beat the game twice? So you have 2 of the same medals? lol


Apr. 27, 2009 | 6:07 PM neku740 says:

What do medals do ?


Apr. 27, 2009 | 6:27 PM psychicpebble says:

Are medals going to become a regular thing? How exactly will it benefit you or your account in any way? I mean, at first i wanted all the medals, but now there are so many I just gave up-and I think its the same with other people too. What will be motivation to get these medals?


Apr. 27, 2009 | 6:45 PM wismty says:

100th POST I RULE!!!


Apr. 28, 2009 | 12:32 AM Wrathlust says:

So many medals so little time! lol I love the medal system sure it takes a bit to get some, but getting them is so awesome!


Apr. 28, 2009 | 6:59 AM Mattster says:

Maybe in the future, there will be a small XP Reward for Medals >_>

That'd be nice :P and keep people motivated


Apr. 28, 2009 | 12:46 PM Pibborn says:

Hmm.. I have medals planned for a game that add up to 1000 points... subject to change, but considering the length it will end up, it's likely to stay near there unless I make some major cuts... pity really...
