When did EE born? 2009 or 2010?

I heard in the past that EE was originally created in 2009 but I haven´t found a single proof for this
Wiki tells other story, it says EE was created in 2010 to test the Flixel Engine (The game was in that time called Flixel Walker)

What date is correct? (Proof if it was really created in 2009 please)

peace

The original birthday of Everybody Edits is something I've wondered about for years. Several signs point to 2010, March 1 (including the "Multiplayer Platformworld" Newgrounds upload date and the archived Nanoba website), though the official release of Everybody Edits was March 13 according to the EE Staff. I recall correcting several people saying that they remember playing in 2009, and I've seen at least one user suggest they could have been a private alpha in 2009.

I have the timestamp from the first version of FlixelWalker game code uploaded to Benjaminsen's Player.IO account. It was embedded in the binary during compilation.
- March 7th, 2010.

If I may ask, didn't pIO come later like soon after the game was developed? It was practically an offline singleplayer game.

iirc Benjaminsen EE was created to show what capabilities PlayerIO has. It was a testing ground for PIO.

EE appears to have had multiplayer as early as March 2, possibly March 1. Multiplayer Platformworld was uploaded to Newgrounds on March 1, 2010. It was archived on March 4 with comments from March 2 strongly implying it had online multiplayer at the time.

i dont know why but this game is very addicting. my only criticism would be to add a chat box ...btw my initials are JF if anyone sees what i made at the top;)

Well, what can I say? This ought to be frontpaged for the real madness to begin, assuming the player limit is going to be raised. But even as it is the game about tiny circles kept me clicking violently late at night. The simplicity and pointlessness of the gameplay attracted me greatly. To defend your creation from the hordes of "****" (sorry guys, nuthin personal) is awesome.

As for the development suggestions, I have two:
1. Would be okay if you added something like an "observer mode", when the player would lose his control of the circle (or the circle would vanish from the screen completely) but could watch the whole "playground" and see the patterns which are created in different corners. I personally wold love to watch others work and fight over their pieces of space from the bird's eye view.
2. Random respawn points maybe?

Also I had several objections against other suggested features:
1. Chat box can be nice, but potentially it can ruin the gameplay entirely. See, the cornerstone of the game is complete absence of player identity. When there are no conventional means for communication, you try to communicate in some other ways, like the "circle dance" , or writing messages in blocks, which contributes to the awesomeness of the game. If someone is interfering with your letters or pictures, you don't know who it is and therefore no personal offences. Just pure frustration, which we all LOVE (and don't you dare argueing against that:)). Just as well it's much more pleasant to get unexpected support from a complete stranger. If you add a chat, it not only will destroy this sense of anonymity, but also will likely become a cloaca of angy swearing and foul language overall, which I consider a disadvantage. Also without a chat it's harder for "****" to get together and destroy everything, while constructive teamwork is a reality even without chat. People just see someone doing something purposeful and decide to help.
2. I'm against moving jump to up arrow. With such an easy way to control the circle AND change the environment without switching hands it will be a great deal more difficult to fight against "****" and make them fall.

I guess that's all. As for the background music, WinAmp suits for me. And by the Gods, please keep the game simple. If it turns out to have skill points, epic loot or raid bosses it's going to lose me as a player. Best of luck with the next version.

I played over an hour now and I gotta admit that this simple Game is kinda funny!
You soon find yourself erasing Blocks underneath others and make them fall down again and stuff!

the only I'm missing is a chat or somewhat!

Everybody Edits v0.5.0.0, the oldest version that hasn't been lost to time, appears to be from March 7. Strictly speaking, this may be the first version referred to as Everybody Edits, as I haven't found any evidence of the name being used earlier. But it's hard to know for sure.
