IvnThat was a hell of a blackout :)00:13
sijmenhow long?00:14
nashAbout - 18minutes00:14
sijmenI was talking about.. Ivn00:14
Ivnfrom 9:45 to 16:5000:14

Ivna tiny generator helped to keep my downtime low00:15

*** nash has joined #tp00:39
nashblerg00:39
nashStupid machine00:39
nashAnyway, since I have no gui at the moment... any news?00:39
dmpaytonNope00:39
dmpaytonApparently there's still some dupes that havnt been sorted out yet00:39
nashheh00:39
dmpaytonand the orgs arent being very responsive00:39
nashDrop the slots... parsec will take them... ;-)00:40
dmpaytonHaha, tell that to lh and Danny in #summer-discuss :P00:40
nashdmpayton: I'll pass... we've already got one extra slot ;-)00:41
nashI'm sure they are sharing dropped slots around00:44
cherezyay00:45
nash20 people on the channel is cool00:46
dmpaytonnash: tp ended up with 3, right?00:47
nashdmpayton: Yes00:47
* dmpayton crosses his fingers00:48
nashbrlcad: The second conflict... did he end up in your slot list?00:48
nashI assume the first did00:48
sijmen3 is.. few.00:48
*** fizzleboink has quit IRC00:49
*** [1]fizzleboink is now known as fizzleboink00:49
sijmenmtsec, 3d client, and...00:49
nashsijmen: Too few unfortunately00:49
brlcadhttp://my.bzflag.org/w/Google_Summer_of_Code#Program_Evaluation00:49
nashAnd sijmen, I think the list may be not what you expect00:49
tpb<http://ln-s.net/P53> (at my.bzflag.org)00:49
dmpaytonsijmen: slots were based on the number of apps submitted... so few slots means there were few apps, compared to other orgs.00:49
nashbrlcad: I'm currently rebuilding my window manager from source...00:50
brlcadheh00:50
brlcadyes, he made it00:50
brlcadbarely00:50
brlcadthat was like a four hour discussion00:50
nashbrlcad: Ouch00:50
sijmen"... list may be not what you expect" interresting00:50
nashbrlcad: Well it's good to know - we didn't have enough to do anything we wanted00:50
brlcadnor us by far00:51
dmpaytonbrlcad: you're with bzflag, right?00:51
nashDidn't you get 5 at least?00:51
brlcadyes00:51
brlcadwe lost a slot00:52
brlcadthat you apparently gained ;)00:52
dmpaytonbrlcad: that's another one that caught my attention, but I lack knowledge of the language (c or c++, i forgot)00:52
brlcadc'est la vie00:52
brlcadc or c++ works fine ;)00:52
nashbrlcad: Really?  Weird.00:52
sijmenwhat happened to this? "mithrobtw, those who don't get accepted, please don't just disappear - we'll be doing some cool announcements very shortly"00:53
brlcadc++ preferred00:53
dmpaytonbrlcad: either way, I've got no experience in it.00:53
nashsijmen: Well there will be one good annoucement I know off.  I was working on a second last night00:54
sijmenIt appears there will be 3 good announcement at least :P00:54
sijmenone for every accepted proposal00:54
nashIgnoring those three ;-)  I know of 2 others.00:55
nashTime period will vary00:55
sijmenokay00:55
nashOne is outside our control00:55
nashOne I think will wait a month as well00:55
nashAnd hey... tp will almost certainly move very quickly in the next few months.00:55
nashAnd we made a sacrifice, which we hope will improve the project as a whole in the long term00:56
sijmena sacrifice? :o00:56
nashIn project selection.00:56
nashHard to explain...00:57
nashWithout too many details.00:57
sijmenI see00:57
nashWe may put together a rational document later.00:57
nashBut it will be after the official announcement00:57
sijmenI see00:57
nashsijmen: Now what was your proposal again?00:58
sijmenI had three. Gtk# client, Cocoa client, web version00:58
sijmenwishful thinking tells me that the GUI clients are dropped altogether, making TP a web-only game :P00:59
nashAhh.. how could I forget - three very good applications actually (although the Cocoa was a bit, ah..., mac-fan boyish)00:59
nashWell GUI clients will always be useful.  But web clients have a lot going for them as far as low-entry bar goes01:00
nashAnd I'm not going to stop developing my e client01:00
sijmenYes, the Cocoa was a bit mac-fanboyisch indeed :P01:00
chereza Cocoa client would be nice, but I would think a portable GUI toolkit would be preferable01:01
sijmenBut the Gtk# proposal shows I'm not -that- fanboyish :P01:01
mithrosijmen: when i said shortly, i mean in the next couple of days01:01
nashsijmen: You are welcome to work on it however.  You are right in the fact that a native mac client will look better then a portable client in nearly all cases, and can take better advantage of the system.01:03
nashThe statement applies to all platforms01:03
sijmencorrect01:04
chereza 3D client would probably fill those uses better, though01:04
sijmenBut I think Windows and Gnome are more interexchangable than say, Cocoa and Windows01:04
nashsijmen: That is also true.01:04
sijmenyeah 3D client rocks all01:04
nashcherez: To a degree,  the problem with 3d clients is the dependancy tree01:05
nashA native client (cocoa, gtk or gdi) have teh advantage you should be able to jsut run a binary on most system01:05
jotham_Mono has come along way though01:05
jotham_full dot net 1.1 support01:05
*** jotham_ is now known as jotham01:05
nashindeed01:05
JLP<lh_google> as long as no one is touching anything in the web app we are golden01:05
cherezthe dependency tree is often pretty steep with 3D clients01:06
jothamJLP: ?01:06
cherezan Irrlicht client might not be so bad01:06
nashIrrlicht?01:06
JLPjotham: all seems to be resolved now at google side, now they only have to publish the results01:06
nashThe python client is a nice reference client, but it's a bit of pain to install01:07
sijmenA 3D client could also use different codebases on different platforms.01:07
sijmenfor some parts01:07
chereznash: Irrlicht is a 3D game engine, it's very portable and much smaller than the competitors01:07
sijmenthat's how we keep the dependencies low for our school project, the Mac version simply uses Cocoa01:07
nashRight01:07
cherezit's kind of the SDL of 3D01:07
sijmenThat sounds pretty cool01:08
nashMaking SDL the What of What?01:08
sijmenI once tried Ogre but it was massive and hard to get to work.01:08
cherezIrrlicht reminds me of a 3D SDL01:08
cherezit's very small and focuses a lot on being readable and simple01:08
* nash likes that01:09
Ivnogre is awful to learn !01:09
cherezI tried to learn OGRE, it's just frightening how much is in it01:09
Ivnit's very complete, indeed, but it takes ages to master it.01:09
Ivni was doing the same..01:09
sijmenoh I have to write a paper on TP friday and saturday (if I can't do it friday alone)01:10
Ivnbut for what i needed.. ogre was just too much.01:10
cherezIrrlicht isn't tiny, but code in it is a lot smaller certainly01:10
cherezand it's great for dependencies01:10
cherezbecause it uses almost no external libraries01:10
Ivni think i passed irrlicht..01:10
Ivnwas not open source before ?01:10
cherezI'm pretty sure it is now01:11
Ivnnice...01:11
Ivni think when i first saw it (2 years maybe?) it wasn't01:12
*** mithro has quit IRC01:12
Ivnbut was pretty light, and fast.01:12
*** mithro has joined #tp01:12

*** mithro has quit IRC01:15

* DystopicFro can believe that02:23
DystopicFrothere were a lot of smart, excited people going after TP...02:23
nashIn the end... a ruleset to drag all the clients and raise general usefulness of hte projects...02:23

cherezthanks, nash02:28
nashIt was you or RFTS.02:28
nashIn the end RFTS got it as it is better known game, and we hope we can pull a few new people into the project through that.02:28
nashYou application (and the RFTS) were both excellent.02:28
brlcaddmpayton: congrats and interesting proposal02:28

CIA-17Lee Begg <[email protected]> * tpserver-cpp/tpserver/ (24 files):12:14
CIA-17Object now uses Object Parameters:12:14
CIA-17 Needs more work. Will need to be changed when spliting out Order Queues12:14
CIA-17 and rewriting the ruleset turnprocesses.12:14
CIA-17Lee Begg <[email protected]> * tpserver-cpp/tpserver/ (7 files):12:14
CIA-17Added positional object parameters to empty object:12:14
CIA-17 Can be used by different types by changing the name and description.12:14
CIA-17Lee Begg <[email protected]> * tpserver-cpp/tpserver/ (universe.cpp universe.cpp): Added Size to universe12:14

nashllnz: You've been bloody bisy12:15
llnz7 patches from last night there12:15
mithrodo I smell a tpserver-cpp 0.5 in the near future?12:16
nashllnz: And over 100 files12:16
llnzi needed to push though this tough little bit of refactoring12:16
mithronash: cia lies12:16
mithroit says 1 file == 1 darcs hunk12:17
nashOkay12:17
llnzthe next big thing is breaking persistence to create orderqueues and record history and each object parameter type12:17
* nash still doesn't get the 'why' behind cia12:17
nashAnd then someone is going to try and shoehorn in RFTS ;-)12:17
nashHave you played it yet?12:18
llnztpserver-cpp 0.5.0 will be after persistence works again12:18
llnznash: nope12:18
* mithro should play RFTS some time :)12:19
nashIndeed - its a classic12:19

llnzstrawpoll (7 minutes to reply): Mercurial (hg) or Git?15:09
llnzanyone can vote15:12
nashllnz: You know my vote... git!15:13
nashllnz: Seems it's in front ;-)15:15
* llnz votes hg to make things fair (and more acurate)15:16
mithroi think I would vote for git, just because it seems to be more popular15:16
llnzany new people around have a preference?15:17
nashheh15:17
nashOne feature of git over hg - you need a new directory for a branch in hg correct?15:17
* nash is just scanning comparisons15:17
cherezI'd vote, but15:19
cherezbut I'm afraid I don't know enough to make an informed vote15:20
*** TBBle_ has joined #tp15:21
nashllnz: Can you confirm that about hg.  Seems to be listed limitation.  git allows you to branch in place - which is really useful.. git checkout <branch> to switch between them15:22
nashAlso as far as git and windows go... I'd personally still advocate git-cvsserver for most windows users with tortiseCVS for ease of use.15:23
nashSo -- to git for windwos support15:23
* nash doesn't think that is a show stopper, but it is a negative15:23
nashhg is probably better on windows15:24
mithrogit-cvsserver is bi-directional?15:25
llnzyes, one directory is one branch15:26
llnzi really don't like in place branching15:26
llnzcvs was evil like that15:27
llnzoh well15:28
nashllnz: cvs branching sucked15:28
nashmithro: Yes15:29
nashllnz: You don't have to use inplace branches.15:29
* llnz should get some sleep before the sun rises15:29
nashYou can just clone to a new directory if you want it seperate15:29
