| 18:30.31 | khonkhortisan | bzflag should have left-handed materials |
| 18:33.40 | alezakos | Maybe when a tank's tracks are shot the tank shouldn't die but stop moving |
| 18:33.58 | randomparticle | i'm sort of trying to work out what the best display brightness should be to minimize eyestrain playing bz |
| 18:34.38 | randomparticle | to be honest, i'm not really sure why too bright or too dark an image would cause eyestrain, and what it is that is actually being strained (lens focus muscles? pupil muscles?) |
| 18:34.50 | khonkhortisan | match it to the ambient light |
| 18:35.40 | randomparticle | that's where the physics comes in. i have figures for monitor brightness, but not for the brightness of things around a room |
| 18:36.04 | randomparticle | so i was hoping to do some calculation and determine their brightness. |
| 18:36.21 | randomparticle | roughly, that is |
| 18:37.00 | randomparticle | tvs are often calibrated to 120cd/m^2. but lcd displays can often go to 350-450 cd/m^2 |
| 18:37.32 | randomparticle | office lighting is, according to wiki, roughly 320-500 lux |
| 18:38.00 | khonkhortisan | I've never heard of a candela, but a lux |
| 18:38.28 | randomparticle | 1 lux = 1 cd sr / m^2 |
| 18:38.52 | alezakos | The candela is used to measure light |
| 18:39.08 | randomparticle | yes, it's the luminous flux per steradian |
| 18:39.26 | khonkhortisan | I like the steradian |
| 18:39.49 | randomparticle | don't ask me to pronounce it :-) |
| 18:40.06 | alezakos | It's the official light unit in the CI. |
| 18:40.26 | alezakos | It's pronounced like Καντέλα (Κανdέλα) |
| 18:40.42 | alezakos | A beach bar in Greece is called "Candelas" |
| 18:41.03 | randomparticle | are beach bars candle lit? |
| 18:41.44 | alezakos | I don't know, it has free parking for customers. |

| 19:16.35 | JeffM | khonkhortisan, you want to implement a ray tracer? |
| 19:17.01 | khonkhortisan | that would probably be too much for me |
| 19:17.11 | JeffM | and too much for bzflag ;) |
| 19:17.24 | khonkhortisan | I was thinking more for shot ricochets |
| 19:18.02 | JeffM | depends if yo think shots are light or physical things |
| 19:18.20 | JeffM | if they are physical things then they would not be refracted |
| 19:21.15 | DTRemenak | if they were physical, I would expect gravity to affect them |
| 19:21.40 | khonkhortisan | then we would need aiming then the game would not be official bzflag |
| 19:21.47 | JeffM | true |
| 19:22.13 | JeffM | maybe they are hot plasma, the updraft counters gravity, exactly |
| 19:22.42 | JeffM | there is a pea sized device in the shot that holds a magnetic field |
| 19:22.43 | *** join/#bzflag O-Neil (~Miranda@77-21-234-222-dynip.superkabel.de) |
| 19:22.43 | khonkhortisan | with some sort of temperature management built into the shot |
| 19:22.58 | khonkhortisan | I know, the're flogos! |
| 19:23.06 | JeffM | when you get SB that that device gets the same device as OO |
| 19:23.47 | khonkhortisan | but then again you can only get hit by the pea sized device and not the plasma |
| 19:24.08 | JeffM | the field dosnt release untill the pea strikes a surface |
| 19:24.15 | JeffM | then it's all plasma damage |
| 19:24.38 | DTRemenak | that could explain the one-hit kills |
| 19:25.01 | JeffM | sheild gives off a magnetic field that causes the pea to blow early |
| 19:25.16 | JeffM | but the feedback fries the coil |
| 19:25.29 | khonkhortisan | the tank carries multiple shot-sized OO devices, that's why it can get partially sealed in a wall |
| 19:25.55 | JeffM | nanobots build you more peas as needed |
| 19:26.02 | JeffM | thats why it takes time to reload and recharge a pea |
| 19:26.27 | khonkhortisan | a technologically advanced food fight |

| 22:32.39 | BulletCatcher | "Your mother drives a tank." |
| 22:32.40 | JeffM | something about her and an "overthruster" |
| 22:32.50 | BulletCatcher | "That's just a '56 Buick." |
| 22:33.20 | L4m3r | just got back from texas on Wednesday |
| 22:33.42 | L4m3r | if that had anything to do with the storyline, it'd read something like "screw this, let's go inside" |
| 22:34.25 | L4m3r | or "It's too hot for paintball, let's use tanks instead" |
