JLafontmithro: Thanks Mithro, yeah I was considering adding specifics for rulesets. This is just a very rough draft of what I'd want to do00:15
mithroJLafont: make sure you are realistic in your goals00:15
*** bddebian has joined #tp00:16
JLafontmithro: Most of what I put in I'm sure I can do. The hardest part will be abstracting the AI for any ruleset. I'll need to look up how rulesets are defined and work from there as to how feasible that is00:17
mithroJLafont: if you had to load some type of "profile" for each ruleset, that would be cool00:18
mithrobut there are some very different games00:18
mithroIE RFTS is mainly a conquer using game, while TIMTrader is mainly a trade game00:18
llnzJLafont: just had a skim of your document, interesting, I will read more when I get home00:18
* llnz wanders off home00:19
llnzbbl00:19
*** llnz has quit IRC00:19
JLafontmithro: That helps. I think I know how I might be able to handle vastly different play styles for games. Something like a different heuristic depending on game type.00:20
JLafontmithro: Thanks though! I think, I have a better understanding00:21
mithroJLafont: you could quit easily make a RISK in space clone00:21
mithroJLafont: have a look at http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Rulesets00:21
tpbTitle: Rulesets - Thousand Parsec Wiki (at www.thousandparsec.net)00:21
JLafontI'll try to work it out to more depth once this flu stops making my brain want to jump out of its skill00:22
mithroand http://www.thousandparsec.net/wiki/Clone_Ruleset00:22
tpb<http://ln-s.net/1bX9> (at www.thousandparsec.net)00:22
JLafontok, I see I need to rework my abstraction idea a little. The one I have could work for Conquest-type rulesets but not for the other trade oriented once00:24

mithroJLafont: are you still around?01:03
JLafontyeah01:11
JLafontmithro: Whats up?01:11
mithroJLafont: just wanted to say - we would be more likely to select a project which has a clear plan for a working RFTS ruleset with some thought about possibly extending to MTSec and others rather then a "I'l make an AI which works for everything"01:12
LukstrJLafont: you could maybe focus on one ruleset then include future plans to expand to include others?01:14
JLafontmithro: Ok! Thanks! That was my initial idea, but then I kept thinking on how I could abstract it.01:14
JLafontmithro: That would probably work best01:14
mithroJLafont: you only have 3 months - which might seem like a long time, but will fly by :)01:14
JLafontmithro: Will just have to keep myself focused on RTFS then.01:15
Lukstr3 months *does* fly by, I was upset (and naive) that I didn't get more done where I worked last summer but in retrospect it's all good01:15
mithroJLafont: please leave plenty time for testing01:16
mithro(and releasing - I think this year we are really going to push for the students to do a release at the end of their summer)01:16
JLafontmithro: Sure thing. I'll make sure to work that out too.01:16
mithrodo mention that you have thought about/are thinking about how to support more then just RFTS01:17
JLafontAlright01:17
JLafontI'm thinking of doing RFTS and then try to add some support for TIM01:18
JLafontmithro: Thanks! I'll make sure to keep all of this in mind.01:19
mithroMTSec is probably a little closer to RFTS being combat based too01:19
mithroand likely to get finished sooner too :)01:20
JLafontmithro: Ahh, in that case, MTSec it is!01:21
JLafontalright. Time for me to sleep01:37

Ohmwe finished the ADA project today17:08
Ohmat fucking last17:08
Ohmlike 10% of the trouble was dealing with threads and such17:08
Ohmthe rest was dealing with ADA's incredibly shitty string and in/out libraries, aswell as the sockets that only allowed us to transfer strings.17:09
OhmAlso, shitty exception handling (by the end we found some exception libs that, by then, would just have been more work to implement)17:09

mithrogreywhind: started thinking about a GSoC proposal?19:45
mithrogreywhind: who do you want me to send this evaluation to again?19:46
greywhindmithro: i haven't really, since i still don't know if you'll be accepted, but i'd love to talk about one whenever you know for sure19:46
greywhindmithro: [email protected]19:47
greywhindDavid White19:47
mithroQuarter 3 right?19:48
greywhindyes19:48
mithrookay cool19:49
mithrogreywhind: could of things regarding your resource drop down19:50
mithrothe drop down does not appear to disappear when I click elsewhere19:51
greywhindmithro: err... you mean "couple of things"?19:51
mithrogreywhind: yeah :)19:51
greywhindmithro: yeah... that one is related to the code from the original demo19:52
greywhindmithro: do you know how I can fix it?19:52
greywhindseems like the window refuses to let anything else take focus...19:52
mithrothe pop-up is centered on the selection box, it would be better that it started left aligned19:53
mithroevery second time I click on the down box, it appears in totally the wrong place19:53
greywhindmithro: really? hmm19:54
*** peres has joined #tp19:55
mithrolastly, the selection box is crammed up in the top left instead of expanding to the avalible space19:56
mithroit would also be good for it to actually show some text in the text box part :)19:56
greywhindmithro: do you have screenshots of the "totally wrong place" and "not expanding" bugs?19:57
mithrohttp://www.thousandparsec.net/~tim/Screenshot-5.png19:58
tpb<http://ln-s.net/1dD7> (at www.thousandparsec.net)19:58
greywhindmithro: i see. the selection box being smaller... i didn't see that on my client because it's perfectly sized for the Mac client icons/bar19:59
greywhindthe box being in the wrong place... i have no idea why that's happening, but i'll take a look at it19:59
greywhindi also haven't seen that one19:59
greywhindmithro: for now, though, I have to try to remember everything I did this quarter and write about it20:01
mithroyou might want to look into the wx.PopupWindow example20:01
mithrolooks like wx.PopupCtrl is borked20:01
mithro(I'm getting similar behaviour in the wxPython demo)20:02
greywhindmithro: so i need to use PopupWindow instead?20:02
mithrogreywhind: looks like it - wx.PopupTransientWindow probably20:03
greywhindmithro: ok... i'll try that after finishing my summary, which might take me a day or two20:03
*** peres has quit IRC20:04
mithrogreywhind: okay20:04
mithrogreywhind: mentor evaluation sent20:12
greywhindmithro: thanks much.20:12
greywhindwhen i've finished this summary, i'll send you a copy20:12
mithrogreywhind: you have mostly 5's :)20:12
greywhindmithro: :)20:12
greywhinddo you have any suggestions on how i could improve?20:13
mithrogreywhind: my biggest bone to pick would be your involvement on the mailing lists and other communities20:17
mithros/other communities/other FOSS communities/20:17
mithroStill yet to post to the wxFloatCanvas list20:18
greywhindmithro: oh, sorry - forgot to actually hit the enter key to send you this: yeah, i've been much more reluctant to get involved in the FloatCanvas list than I should have been... I'll work on that.20:37
