00:52:54raptorWatusimoto: are you against using PolyFonts instead of our GLUT one?
00:53:05raptorbecause we'd have loads more symbols
00:53:29raptorand i'd still only use stroke fonts so performance would be similar
00:53:48raptormaybe even better - the data stores everything as int in stead of float
01:34:39Watusimotogoing to bed -- not violently opposed, if fonts looked the same
01:35:33raptornight

16:34:57Watusimoto_ has joined
16:39:06raptor2pt barriers that have the same point
16:39:36raptori remember handling that case somewhere for an earlier version
16:40:00raptorwhen loaded up, we added like 0.1 to the length
16:40:26raptorso they wouldn't be de-duped
17:23:01watusimoto Quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
17:30:56raptorI'm removing references to Robotron
17:48:26Watusimoto_hi -- my fix was just to check for the special case of two points on top of each other, and explicitly allow
17:48:54Watusimoto_may be able to check it in later this evening
17:49:04Watusimoto_'till then... adieu!
17:52:14raptorbye

19:27:57karamazovapyI'm starting to question the reliability of this new master
19:28:14raptoryeah, me too...
19:28:18raptorit's up now
19:28:28raptorbut i think it was asleep or something before...
19:28:41raptor has left
19:28:42karamazovapyI'm still having trouble accessing it
19:28:43raptor has joined
19:28:44ChanServ sets mode +o raptor
19:28:46karamazovapyI'm still having trouble accessing it
19:29:56karamazovapymy client connects fine, but the web site is giving me trouble
19:31:15raptorok, restarted the web server
19:32:12karamazovapyyeah, I still can't get to bitfighter.org
19:33:14karamazovapyno idea what's up.
19:33:56karamazovapyhuh...I can get there from internet explorer, but not firefox
19:34:17raptorclear cache!
19:34:23raptorweird
19:36:18karamazovapylooks like blackbird and footloose might be having problems, too
19:36:35karamazovapyclearing the cache worked
19:36:50raptori wonder if DNS got moved around again..
19:38:33karamazovapywell I don't think I'll be using this webhost for my own site, that's all I'm saying
19:40:12raptorwhich one is it?
19:40:52karamazovapyI don't know, but I intend to find out before purchasing hosting!
20:10:07raptorsplit posts to a new topic in meta forums
20:36:00koda has joined
20:40:52raptorHi koda, I have two SDL problems on Mac that I am wonder if you have run into (and maybe have solutions...)
20:41:04kodahi raptor
20:41:07kodalet's hear them
20:41:28raptor1. SDL window going completely black when you hide/minimize it then unhide/unminimize
20:42:01raptor2. switching to full screen using SDL_FULLSCREEN | SDL_OPENGL and the window disappears; i then have to force quit
20:45:07raptorI have an idea that #1 may be related to losing the opengl context somehow
20:45:38raptorand another idea that #2 may be related to the opengl pixel format being different for full screen
20:47:46raptori am using SDL 1.2 and I am well aware that the Mac side of things hasn't received as much love and attention...
20:56:09raptorkaramazovapy: what do you think about Core health regen, like with turrets/FFs?
20:57:35kodaraptor: sorry no idea about those issues
20:57:50raptorok, i'll keep digging..
20:57:52kodaare you going to participate in google summer of code this year? :)
20:58:08raptorfor hedgewars?
20:58:28raptorbitfighter may be a little small...
20:59:14karamazovapyI think we should give the core gametype a little time to breathe before we tweak it too much
20:59:39karamazovapylet's see how FREE BAIT goes and then reconvene
20:59:51raptorgood idea
20:59:56kodaraptor: hw was in gsoc last year!
21:00:16kodaand it's no problem being small
21:00:31kodayou just need to have good ideas and good people willing to mentor
21:00:42raptorreally? i thought we'd have to have at least 10 humans in the IRC channel at all times first... ;)
21:01:43karamazovapyhmm... http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011
21:02:19karamazovapyI'm looking for the indie games in the crowd
21:02:40raptorhedgewars was there
21:02:53raptorbattle for wesnoth
21:03:32raptorfreedroid
21:03:45karamazovapyyeah, I'm seeing some of them
21:05:12karamazovapyhah... "We support two multiplayer game servers (stable and development) with a usual minimum load of more than a hundred players"
21:05:45raptorwhere is that?
21:05:54karamazovapythat's on battle for wesnoth's info page
21:06:09karamazovapyalong with over 4.5 million downloads from sourceforge and over 2000 a day
21:06:20raptoryeah that game is a monster
21:06:32karamazovapyfunny I've never heard of it, though
21:06:52karamazovapynot that I don't believe it, just interesting that I've never heard anyone mention it before now
21:07:02kodaalso unknown horizons
21:07:34karamazovapysaw that
21:07:42raptori've never heard of that one..
21:10:04raptorinstalling it now..
21:10:40karamazovapythat's one I have heard of, incidentally
21:12:02kodayou should think about it!
21:12:38karamazovapywhat would we do with grant money from google? pay for servers?
21:12:58kodamost of the money goes to the students
21:13:06kodathe mentor keeps just 500$
21:13:08karamazovapywhat?!
21:13:15karamazovapywhy are we paying students?!
21:13:15kodaand a trip to googleplex
21:13:21karamazovapywhat what what?!
21:13:24kodayou are not, google is :p
21:13:43karamazovapythis is madness!
21:14:22karamazovapystudents need to learn that coding is soul draining and unrewarding
21:14:38karamazovapynot a fun, financially viable option
21:16:16raptori'll have to pay more attention to unknown-horizons when i get home - it has good graphics...
21:16:29raptorbut we know that's not everything..
21:17:13karamazovapyI think bitfighter has good graphics, they're just stylized
21:17:20raptor:)
21:17:30raptorkoda: did you get a trip to googleplex?
21:18:01kodayes
21:18:34raptorneat!
21:19:59kodai didn't mentor any student though
21:20:19kodawe only had 2 students assigned and one of them vanished <_<
21:20:55raptoroops
21:21:11raptorwhat happens in that case? do they make like bandits with the cash?
21:24:21kodayou fail the student early so it doesn't get any cash at all
21:24:40raptorthey're graded? cool
21:26:26kodayup, it's quite exciting initiative
21:26:41kodaand it's an easy way to get the irc channel very crowded :)
21:27:41raptorhmmm...
21:28:01raptornow you're making it sound fun..
21:33:57kodaif you wish i can admin it for you,
21:34:04raptoruhh...
21:34:28kodaalthough that's part of the fun :p
21:34:28raptorwe should probably get the head developer, watusimoto, to think on this too
21:34:55raptorwhat.. admitting poor unsuspecting projects? :)
21:36:03kodaadministrating, threatening both students and mentors...
21:36:13koda:D
21:36:15raptorhaha
21:36:21kodareminding and respecting deadlines
21:36:27kodapaperwork!
21:36:38raptordeadlines sound horrible
21:36:55raptorespecially for a hobby
21:37:04karamazovapyhow old are students usually? highschool? undergrad?
21:37:35kodathey usually are from university, so undergrad and grad alike
21:37:46kodabut there can be docs and postdocs as well
21:39:30sam686 has joined
21:39:31ChanServ sets mode +v sam686
21:43:25raptorso basically a student would mostly likely be better skilled than I in any endeavor...
21:44:40raptori guess this would be a good way to get some more smarts into the project
21:46:20karamazovapybeing more qualified than his/her seniors would be good real-world training!
21:46:41raptorhaha, so true!
21:54:01raptorwhat would you guys think about getting bitfighter on desura?
21:54:36raptorhave you guys thought about doing that for hedgewars, koda?
21:57:46kodayes, but desura requires active community *on* desura to get there
21:57:57kodaand we didn't have the manpower to deal with that as well
21:58:13raptorah
21:58:25raptoryeah, i don't think we have that either
22:04:29LoneWolfy has joined
22:05:38kodawe actually tried to get on steam
22:05:44kodabut we failed miserably
22:10:57raptorI think I know a good project for GSoC: better robots
22:32:22LordDVG Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
23:09:00LoneWolfy Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
23:12:32Watusimoto has joined
23:22:48raptori think i scared away another player...
23:23:30raptorgotta stop playing one on one games with new playres...
23:26:51Watusimotoat least you get a chance to win :-)
23:55:46raptorok, off to home!
