| 11:44 | <@Tarinaky> | Not sure if there's something wrong with my code but my perlin noise generator is slow. |
| 11:47 | < Syka> | isn't perlin noise slow |
| 11:52 | | iospacedout is now known as iospace |
| 11:53 | < RichyB> | Not atrociously, IIRC it's supposed to take like 20 adds+multiplies to generate one value from it. Perlin invented the algorithm on rendering clusters that were being used to draw the original Tron, way back when. You can put Perlin in a fragment shader and draw it across the whole monitor on pretty much any desktop machine. |
| 11:54 | <@Tarinaky> | Struggling to convert the list my perlin noise outputs into something pyglet.image can use. |
| 11:57 | <@Tarinaky> | It'd help if there was a list of valid format strings. |
| 11:57 | <@Tarinaky> | So I could figure out what a greyscale image is. |
| 12:05 | < RichyB> | I don't know the answer to that but it'll probably be in OpenGL-related docs. |
| 12:06 | <@Tarinaky> | Okay. Why the hell am I even getting things outside of range :/ |
| 12:08 | < RichyB> | http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programming_guide/accessing_or_providing_pixel_data.ht ml |
| 12:11 | < RichyB> | so to make a greyscale imagedata where each pixel is 1 byte, I think you should be doing something like, imagedata.set_data('L', width, data) |
| 12:29 | <@Tarinaky> | I have two other more pressing bugs... |
| 12:29 | <@Tarinaky> | 1) My perlin noise function is producing values outside the range it should be (ie >255...) |
| 12:29 | <@Tarinaky> | 2) The blitting is retarded. |
| 12:36 | < RichyB> | 2) can be caused by 1). |
| 12:37 | < RichyB> | e.g. you get a 256 in there, pyglet turns it into a zero - random black pixels amidst the brightest whites. |

| 14:49 | < RichyB> | Yaaaay. |
| 14:51 | < RichyB> | Tarinaky: (0.54, 0.84) is a unit vector, but (1, 1) isn't. It should be (0.707, 0.707) instead if the maths you're working from assumes unit vectors. |
| 14:52 | <@Tarinaky> | Honestly: Perlin Noise is hard and there's very little in the way of good pseudocode for it >.< |
| 14:52 | <@Tarinaky> | I /think/ it's working now (see picture) |
| 14:53 | < RichyB> | It looks like it's the right kind of continuous. :| |
| 14:54 | <@Tarinaky> | "3! 3! 3!" "Are you sure that's random?" "That's the problem with random numbers." |
| 14:56 | < RichyB> | You might be able to find some Perlin noise implementation in GLSL under an acceptable open-source license. |
| 14:57 | <@Tarinaky> | I don't really want it for textures though. |
| 14:57 | < RichyB> | https://github.com/ashima/webgl-noise/wiki <- sounds good, is MIT license (which is basically identical to 3-clause BSD) |
| 14:57 | <@Tarinaky> | Turning it into a texture is just for the benefit of testing. |
| 14:58 | <@Tarinaky> | Exploratory programming? |
| 14:58 | < RichyB> | Makes sense. |
| 14:58 | < RichyB> | You *could* generate it in a texture and then read the texture contents into a buffer, if that doesn't feel too silly. :) |
| 14:59 | <@Tarinaky> | It sounds a little like premature optimisation. |
| 14:59 | <@Tarinaky> | Doing a calculation on a GPU only to read back into main memory :p |
| 14:59 | < RichyB> | It'd be massively premature if you were doing it as an optimisation, rather than just because you happen to have open-source GLSL code lying around. :) |
| 15:01 | <@Tarinaky> | Also GLSL opens another can of worms :p |
| 15:01 | < RichyB> | Are you just using OpenGL 1.x, then? |
| 15:02 | <@Tarinaky> | No, but I'm not using straight OpenGL and I don't know OpenGL of any flavour. |
| 15:02 | < RichyB> | pyglet doesn't really overcomplicate things. |

| 16:10 | <@froztbyte> | it could have a sign on it, ? with subtle infinity wings on the left and right of it |

| 16:24 | <&Derakon> | We have a bit of hardware that we control via Telnet. |
| 16:24 | <&Derakon> | Unfortunately if our program crashes (which happens moderately often in development), then the connection may not get closed correctly on the other end. |
| 16:24 | <&Derakon> | At which point the hardware becomes completely inaccessible until you power-cycle it. |
| 16:25 | <&Derakon> | (It never times out and will refuse any other connections) |
| 16:25 | <&ToxicFrog> | Awesome. |
| 16:25 | <&ToxicFrog> | Any way to fix this on the device's end? |
| 16:25 | <&Derakon> | So I'm writing a program whose sole function is to act as a proxy for the device; that program will never crash and the actual client program can talk to it instead of the hardware. |
| 16:25 | <&ToxicFrog> | If not I suspect the answer is "connect via a telnet proxy that-" yes. |
| 16:25 | <&Derakon> | AFAICT no, though I've sent an email to support. |
| 16:27 | <@TheWatcher> | And why on earth telnet? ¬¬ |
| 16:27 | <&Derakon> | It's just a dumb device. |
| 16:28 | <&Derakon> | I guess the manufacturers didn't want to bother telling their users how to deal with SSH. |
| 16:28 | <&Derakon> | (There's also RS-232 though) |
| 16:29 | <@froztbyte> | telnet's pretty big still |
| 16:30 | <@froztbyte> | especially in the network kit world :( |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | Whelp, proxy's up and running. That wasn't very hard. |
| 17:02 | <&Derakon> | <3 the Pyro library for Python remote object proxys. |
| 17:03 | <&Derakon> | The client-side code didn't have to change except that instead of doing "self.zConnection = telnetlib.Telnet(ipAddress, port)" it does "self.zConnection = Pyro4.Proxy('PYRO:PIZProxy@%s:%d' % (ipAddress, port))" |
| 17:04 | <&Derakon> | From then on I can treat the object as if it were a Telnet instance. |
| 17:14 | <@froztbyte> | zConnection? as in zope? |
| 17:14 | <&McMartin> | It is z Connection! |
| 17:14 | <&McMartin> | As in zMissiles.fire() |
| 17:14 | <&Derakon> | Heh. |
| 17:15 | <&Derakon> | I'm not familiar with zope, but no, this is the Z axis motion controller. |

| 18:26 | <&McMartin> | Most recently: a significant optimization to Bresenham's line algorithm for the jacked-up memory organization of the C64 |
| 18:27 | <&Derakon> | Now, now, that's not completely useless! |
| 18:27 | <&Derakon> | Just mostly. |
| 18:28 | <&McMartin> | Heh |
| 18:29 | | * McMartin might throw together a little sketch program to test out its correctness before actually going and editing his bitmap libraries |
| 18:30 | <&McMartin> | If you haven't experienced the hilarity of C64 hi-res mode, it is basically programmable tiles, but with an 8k chunk of memory so each 8x8 block gets a unique tile instead of the usual 2k block (better known as 'the character set or font') + 1k of tile location data (better known as 'the contents of screen memory') |
| 18:30 | <&McMartin> | That means you can blit letters straight from your character ROM to the bitmap, which is kind of nice |
| 18:31 | <&McMartin> | But it also means that you have to perform a bitmask operation on (y div 8) * 320 + (x and 0xF0) + (y mod 8) to set a pixel. |
| 18:32 | <&McMartin> | The optimization is to only compute this once and then rotate a bitmask through the carry bit across locations to do a sort of "rolling pen" |
| 18:33 | <&McMartin> | (You know it's time to change addresses because the 9-bit byte rotation rotated your draw point into the carry flag!) |

| 20:48 | <~Vornicus> | ErikMesoy: a snippet from bisect from python 2.7:try: |
| 20:48 | <~Vornicus> | from _bisect import bisect_right, bisect_left, insort_left, insort_right, insort, bisect |
| 20:48 | <~Vornicus> | except ImportError: |
| 20:48 | <~Vornicus> | pass |
| 20:49 | <~Vornicus> | erp, that wasn't the manual linebreak button |
| 20:50 | < ErikMesoy> | So basically I can go ahead and "import FinalDungeon" at run-time and late in the game, it seems. |
| 20:50 | < ErikMesoy> | Sounds simple |
| 20:51 | <~Vornicus> | Absolutely. Whether you want to I don't know. |
| 20:51 | <~Vornicus> | McM: now I'm imagining that the missiles that General Tor shoots from the far background are called zMissiles |
| 20:52 | < ErikMesoy> | Well, I don't want to in the foreseeable future. :p |
| 20:52 | < ErikMesoy> | This is still a text game, so the performance penalty for importing absolutely everything on startup would be trivial. But I'm trying to design on principle, because the idea here is to learn how to do things, not just to have a game. |
| 21:06 | <~Vornicus> | imports should only bring in code regardless. |
| 21:06 | <~Vornicus> | And code isn't (generally) that much. |

| 21:16 | <@Rhamphoryncus> | Unless your design also involves unloading needed sections I wouldn't bother deferring the load until later |
