| 00:19.20 | macsforme | no need to add an ability to disable the 3D view, but having a fullscreen radar is a feature that many people want (and many people questioned why it was removed)... it could be an overlay over the main display with semi-transparency (which is how most people used to do it), or it could go on a secondary display |
| 00:20.15 | blast007 | we don't have to add everything that people want |
| 00:20.58 | the_map | can I get fries with that? |
| 00:21.37 | blast007 | no |
| 00:21.52 | allejo | blast, can we add a button that makes us muffins? |
| 00:22.11 | moriah | i'd like a NY style pizza |
| 00:22.22 | blast007 | allejo: only if there's also one for bacon |
| 00:22.36 | allejo | makes a PR |
| 00:23.34 | moriah | blast007 is paying for pizza! |
| 00:23.54 | blast007 | I pay for pizza a lot |
| 00:24.06 | blast007 | otherwise it'd be theft :P |
| 00:29.41 | macsforme | having fullscreen radar back is not a comparable request to any of these, if that was the insinuation |
| 00:31.16 | macsforme | while clearly not every requested feature would benefit the game, we should have heeded the outcry that followed the removal of this one |
| 00:33.32 | blast007 | It's the Internet. You'll get used to it. |
| 00:35.43 | the_map | blast007: taking the pokemon go approach to that feature? :) |
| 00:40.50 | blast007 | the only thing I know about pokemon go is that there are pokemon and people play it while driving their car and run into parked police cars |
| 00:51.15 | moriah | Full screen radar would make lots of players happy |
| 00:52.01 | blast007 | the the league |
| 00:52.04 | blast007 | make a league client |
| 00:52.10 | allejo | let's just overpower an already overpowered feature :p |
| 00:52.20 | blast007 | in the* |

| 00:55.30 | kierra | Overpowered? ?? Says the guy who rarely plays :p |
| 00:55.36 | kierra | hides |
| 01:07.24 | macsforme | it does make a bigger difference in competitive play, yes... but we need to cater to more than amateur players |
| 01:09.29 | kierra | Best way to help amateurs is mentor them - one on one, esp for league play |

| 15:58.20 | JeffM | Add VR support |

| 17:55.49 | Zehra | Greetings all, |
| 17:56.34 | Zehra | I've managed to browse several games over time and have noticed some possible improvements which can be made for future versions of BZFlag. |
| 17:57.03 | Zehra | One such option is the polling system within the game. |
| 17:57.40 | Zehra | Many seem to be unable or confused by it, but however from viewing another game with a slightly different polling system. |
| 17:57.55 | Zehra | It seems this can be improved. |
| 17:58.40 | Zehra | Perhaps using /v and /n for votes would be an enhancement or to use /yes and /no for the polls. |
| 17:59.43 | Zehra | I'm uncertain about the effort needed to make this change, but I believe it can be introduced into later versions. |
| 18:45.57 | blast007 | Zehra: https://wiki.bzflag.org/DevelopmentPlans/2.6.0 |
| 18:47.45 | blast007 | http://static.bzexcess.com/misc_screenshots/left4dead/ |
| 18:50.59 | Zehra | blast007: Thank you. |
| 18:52.13 | Zehra | A type of interface for polling like the one shown would be an enhancement to the current one. |
| 18:53.04 | blast007 | that's kinda stating the obvious :) |
| 18:54.27 | Zehra | Hehe, I'm a little redundant with some things I say. |
