| 00:55.33 | macsforme | broken how? |
| 00:57.55 | blast007 | like, when you pick a resolution in the menu, it renders it scaled up, so part of the normal stuff is off the screen |
| 00:58.15 | blast007 | and probably has the mouse position offset weird too |
| 00:58.44 | blast007 | I had fixed it in 2.4.4, but then in 2.4.6 I switched to SDL2, so that code wasn't being hit anymore :) |
| 00:58.52 | blast007 | gonna test my fix quick |
| 01:10.34 | blast007 | well, that should be fun. with my fix moved from WinMain to main, it kinda does the opposite and runs the game *smaller* than the resolution you set |
| 01:10.58 | blast007 | (and behaves different than 2.4.4) |

| 01:41.03 | blast007 | besides the horrible looking play button on the teaser video, how does this look? http://bzflag.porteighty.org/ |
| 01:42.26 | blast007 | And if I could also get some feedback on the Getting Started page, that'd be appreciated: http://bzflag.porteighty.org/documentation/getting_started |
| 01:44.55 | macsforme | I think there should be more spacing between lines in a paragraph so it's easier to read |
| 01:46.32 | allejo | agreed. set a line-height for paragraphs |
| 01:47.15 | allejo | 1.4 is what i typically go with |
| 01:52.56 | allejo | line-height for the li's too |
| 01:57.31 | blast007 | is that better? (might have to Ctrl+F5 or clear cache) |
| 02:00.46 | allejo | votes yes |
| 02:01.06 | allejo | also "Installing on Windows" capitalization |
| 02:02.11 | blast007 | fixed |
| 02:02.55 | blast007 | I was just planning ahead for when Microsoft copies Apple and makes the first letter lowercase :) |
| 02:03.29 | allejo | hehe |
| 02:07.14 | blast007 | I could probably have explanation text for the user interface part and maybe multiple images that focus on different parts |
| 02:28.31 | allejo | what did you have in mind for that, as an example |
| 02:34.15 | allejo | also is the play button final or is it going to be changed? |
| 02:37.37 | blast007 | the play button should be replaced because it looks pretty bad :) |
| 02:38.05 | blast007 | and examples for the explanation text? talking about the different parts of the scoreboard, at least |
| 02:39.05 | allejo | oh, i'd think explaining something like the scoreboard would be helpful |
| 02:59.55 | allejo | blast007, give this play button a shot https://cl.ly/2Z1A3h3Y3625 |
| 03:03.18 | allejo | also, wonder if the spacing could be changed at the bottom of #content to be the same amount of space as the sides and top |
| 03:06.17 | allejo | and `cursor: pointer` for the video parent div |
| 03:12.46 | blast007 | the content div has 10px of padding all the way around. the content with it may also have it's own margin/padding, or may not fill the full width (like with the video) |
| 03:12.51 | blast007 | within* |
| 03:27.58 | blast007 | hmm, and the overlay on the video doesn't work as well in firefox. it obstructs the video from being interacted with directly. |
| 03:32.36 | blast007 | allejo: is that better? |
| 03:33.18 | allejo | yah :D |
| 03:33.30 | blast007 | is that play button one that you made? |
| 03:33.48 | allejo | yup |
| 03:33.57 | blast007 | what did you make it with? |
| 03:34.17 | allejo | photoshop. want the psd? |
| 03:34.26 | blast007 | nah |
| 03:34.54 | blast007 | might see if I can replicate it in Inkscape |
| 03:37.09 | macsforme | spacing looks a lot better |
| 03:38.42 | allejo | want it as an svg? |
| 03:40.20 | blast007 | allejo: that's be great |
| 03:40.27 | blast007 | that'd* |
| 03:46.00 | blast007 | should I have source assets for the site in a separate repo? (the final rendered versions would be in the website repo) |
| 03:46.33 | allejo | does this work? https://paste.ee/p/750f5 |
| 03:46.57 | blast007 | wouldn't be the video stuff cuz that's pretty huge. would be stuff like the original screenshots, their Inkscape SVG, and similar. |
| 03:47.40 | allejo | i'd say keep it in the same repo, just ignore it on the website build |
| 03:49.19 | blast007 | well, for example, one screenshot is 3.5MB |
| 03:59.20 | allejo | some opacity in the svg: https://paste.ee/p/YWZFA |
| 03:59.53 | allejo | i'd say one repo with lfs? |

| 21:46.40 | macsforme | I think it's wonderful that someone thought it would be better to write (value >> 1) rather than (value / 2)... such clarity :P |
| 21:47.31 | JeffM | it's faster |
| 21:47.50 | JeffM | that uses to be a concern |
| 21:51.43 | JeffM | used |
| 21:57.27 | JeffM | if it wasn't for openGL there'd be trig tables in there :) |
| 22:22.39 | macsforme | ah |
| 22:43.29 | macsforme | I'm a little stuck on the math for mapping the joystick angles at 45 degrees to the square corners... I feel like it should be a simple solution... any pointers on the approach? |
| 22:49.53 | blast007 | treat it like the days of DOS games and calibrate the range of the stick inside the game client ;) |
| 22:50.23 | allejo | i remember having to do that |
| 22:51.07 | BulletCatcher | I have little understanding of what you are trying to do, but using radians instead of degrees may help, or (mumble mumble) trigonometry. |
| 22:51.19 | JeffM | macsforme: you want to automatically detect it or base it on a setting? |
| 22:52.14 | JeffM | and yes it will involve radians and trig :) |
| 22:52.25 | blast007 | BulletCatcher: some gamepads/joysticks have a motion range in the shape of a circle, while others have it in the shape of a square (and I'm sure there's variations in between) |
| 22:52.54 | JeffM | if it's a ciricle, take the values and make it a vector. |
| 22:53.01 | JeffM | make a copy and normalize it. |
| 22:53.05 | blast007 | so with the ones have a range that's a circle, movement/turning might be slower in BZ when trying to do both at once |
| 22:53.22 | blast007 | (with the same stick) |
| 22:53.59 | JeffM | actualy you may not need to normialzie it |
| 22:54.03 | JeffM | .... thinking |
| 22:54.31 | macsforme | yeah we don't want 100% speed all the time |
| 22:54.44 | JeffM | no it was not to use, it was for comparison |
| 22:54.48 | JeffM | you need to compute a factor |
| 22:55.01 | JeffM | but you know nominal lenght is always one so there is no need to normalize |
| 22:55.12 | JeffM | you need the magnidue of the vector for sure |
| 22:55.38 | JeffM | then it's some triangle math... still thinking |
| 22:56.33 | JeffM | needs a whiteboard |
| 22:57.32 | macsforme | I was playing around with the inverse sine/cosine of the other part of the coordinate (X for Y, and Y for X), but I didn't see an obvious solution |
| 22:58.45 | macsforme | I thought you could perhaps multiply your own part of the coordinate by something related to that factor, and how far off from 45 degrees it is |
| 22:59.42 | JeffM | I don't actualy think you need angles |
| 23:01.05 | JeffM | I'm checking with a math guy at work |
| 23:04.40 | macsforme | hm, what about adding together the two absolute values of the coordinates, and then multiplying both by that sum? |
| 23:05.50 | macsforme | so when only one is fully at 1.0, it will stay the same, but when both are at sqrt(2)/2, adding those together and then multiplying should make the magnitude sqrt(2)... I'm just not sure about the in-between values |
| 23:13.15 | JeffM | hoooookayyy |
| 23:13.24 | JeffM | it involves spheres :) |
| 23:15.40 | JeffM | ok, so take the arcsin of the sqrt of X squared minus y squared |
| 23:15.50 | JeffM | that will give you the angle in the plane along the vector |
| 23:16.00 | JeffM | that is the factor of how much is applied to speed vs turning |
| 23:16.12 | JeffM | then multiply the magnitude by that |
| 23:16.19 | JeffM | and it should give you the two values |
| 23:17.02 | JeffM | basicly the angle tells you how much of the vector is speed and how much is turning |
| 23:17.20 | JeffM | then you use the magintude of the input vector to know the final components |
| 23:17.58 | macsforme | asin(sqrt(x^2-y^2)), or some other order of operations? I couldn't tell from that wording |
| 23:18.21 | macsforme | that formula does look familiar... |
| 23:18.35 | macsforme | or at least part of it does |
| 23:18.44 | JeffM | yeah that's right |
| 23:33.13 | JeffM | the nice thing is that radians are in pi units so they come out to be very nice 1 to -1 factors |
