00:48 <Cepheid> I mean my gods, what was I thinking!?
00:49 <Schism> Thinking you could run past it on one side and get in a crit?
00:49 <Schism> Or tank the beam of plasma.

17:07 <Cepheid> Hum, what weapon class has a good "heavy" feeling attack to it, with high damage, but more range than a hammer? Hunting horn is a good start, but it's damage is roughly in the middle. 100-150 on the higher end, compared to 200 to 300 for the hammer and it's strongest hits.
17:09 <Cepheid> Great Sword has greater range than the hammer, has some devastating attacks, but it slows me down.
17:09 <Cepheid> I could get used to it, though.
17:10 <Cepheid> SnS and Dual Blades are out. Too short. Long Sword is viable. Lance and Gunlance are weird for me to get used to, and would require a lot of practice. But I wouldn't be able to use them effectively, like ADra.
17:10 <Cepheid> I'm not good at "predicting" attacks from monsters and coordinating them with my motions.
17:10 <Cepheid> So I would not defend properly, more or less.
17:11 <Cepheid> I legitimately don't know how you do it, ADragonDreaming.
17:11 <Cepheid> I can't predict ahead more than half a second, unless the motions are very clear.

17:12 <Cepheid> In any case, for weapon choices, this leaves...
17:12 <Cepheid> Switch Axe, Charge Blade, Long Sword, and Insect Glaives.
17:14 <Cepheid> Switch Axe seems more my "speed" though, because it provides the range I desire, both vertically and horizontally. I also like it's Zero Sum Discharge ability.

17:31 <Cepheid> Hum, that's why it's called Zero Sum Discharge. Because you lose an enhanced damage state + phial charge in return for applying a bunch of damage.
17:31 <Cepheid> In other words, it balances out. Zero Sum net effect.

17:53 <Cepheid> I was spending time trying to figure out a problem, and I found it. I am never to write code while under the influence of a sedative late at night ever again.
17:53 <Cepheid> The problem is in the following statement: float sigDist = median(sample.r, sample.g, sample.b); - 0.5;
17:53 <Cepheid> Who can see the problem?
17:53 <DerbyFloat> double ;?
17:54 <Cepheid> Exactly.
17:55 <Cepheid> The "- 0.5;" is being treated as a separate statement, when it shouldn't be.
17:55 <Cepheid> It doesn't complain because it's a statement with no side effects. It just discards the result.
17:55 <Cepheid> By having that ; after the median() call, the "- 0.5;" does nothing.

18:11 <Cepheid> What's up, Schis- Oh.
18:11 <Cepheid> Googie, please be on the alert.
18:12 <RazorSharpFang> I do oft wonder what I'm missing out on, given that I have joins/parts hidden.
18:12 <Cepheid> Hum, I need to update my texture class. Current implementation defaults to using a nearest-neighbour filter for magnification, which breaks rendering of the distance fields, in a sense.
18:12 <Cepheid> The fields work, as expected, no matter the scaling, they draw the fonts out no problem.
18:12 <Cepheid> But they remain pixelated due to lack of bilinear filtering, which is required for SDFs.
18:15 <Cepheid> There we go.
18:15 <Cepheid> Although that introduced a bug..
18:15 <Cepheid> I'm getting some edge bleed from the rest of the atlas.
18:18 <Cepheid> Ah, that's what the "spacing" value is for.
18:22 *** Joins: WurstPon5 (brandon@Pony-e75.a3d.52.64.IP)
18:24 <Cepheid> ... I think.
18:24 <Cepheid> This font format isn't exactly well-documented, it seems.
18:24 <Cepheid> The only indication as to what format it is, is that it references "bmfont support"
18:30 <Cepheid> Ah here we are.
18:30 <Cepheid> And yeah, I was right. Spacing is used to avoid bleeding.

19:18 <Cepheid> Ah.
19:18 <Schism> An odd mix, but a good one. And $2 for a big bag was a fair enough price.
19:20 <Cepheid> And there we are, text rendering implemented.
19:20 <Cepheid> It's a bit hackish, but it does the job.
19:21 *** Joins: RyuImperator (RyuImperato@Pony-hgm4hg.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
19:21 <Cepheid> I compile a set of quads and texture coordinates for the string of text, shove them into a vertex array, then shove all that into a wrapper class for rendering the string.
19:21 <Cepheid> Basically, creating static strings.
19:22 <Cepheid> I'll have to rewrite it for strings that are non-static, of course, but it currently verifies that the concept works.
19:22 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-sq2v4f.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
19:24 <Cepheid> Arguably, that's a "simple case."
19:24 <Cepheid> But at the same time, it's not.
19:24 *** Joins: DerbyFloat (dashed@Pony-q06.3rn.58.50.IP)
19:24 <Cepheid> In order for the arrays to be rebuilt, the string class needs to know the font information. But the font is the one that generates the strings in the first place. Circular dependency.
19:25 <Cepheid> So the solution would either be to have a global font that's used by all strings, or to generate a string, a font has to be passed to the constructor for the string.
19:25 <Schism> Eugh, hate circular dependencies. Yeah...
19:26 <Cepheid> The're reasonably easy to break.
19:26 <Cepheid> But at the same time, I'd prefer to not have to specify a font, or have to rely on accessing the font to generate a string.
19:27 <Cepheid> The logical choice would be to have the string accept a font as a parameter, but if it's not provided, it defaults to an application-wide default font.
19:27 <Cepheid> Normally, this kind of problem would "lock" me.
19:28 <Cepheid> Because the "proper" solution that I should use, would conflict with the "ideal" solution I want to use.
19:28 *** Joins: cabbage (cabbage@Pony-mqc71b.dynamic.fusionbroadband.com)
19:28 <Schism> Mmm. Well, that's what hacks are for, ne?
19:28 <Cepheid> In programming, globals variables and such are considered bad practice.
19:28 *** Quits: DerbyFloat (dashed@Pony-q06.3rn.58.50.IP) (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
19:28 <Cepheid> And the Singleton design pattern is considered an anti-pattern.
19:29 *** Quits: Nedemai (Nedemai@Pony-f3d.g65.158.104.IP) (Quit: Leaving)
19:29 <Cepheid> The proper approach would basically be passing around variables/references/pointers to the objects that need them.
19:30 <Cepheid> But that results in it's own problem.
19:30 <Cepheid> So it's basically trade-offs.
19:31 <Cepheid> If you want convenience, you're gonna have to bite the bullet and do things in a way that others might find "wrong".
19:31 * Schism nods, "There's no real point in spending hours on solving said problem 100% efficiently, when 95% efficiency does the trick in far less time."
19:32 <Schism> Well, I mean, there is a point, but not in an exercise where you don't /need/ it.
19:34 <Cepheid> Especially given the 80-20 rule.
19:35 <Schism> Heh, 80% of the problem takes the first 80% of the time, and the last 20% takes the other 80% of the time.
19:37 <Cepheid> Goes something like "80% of the time is spent running 20% of the code."
19:37 <Schism> Ah, a different problem. Similar in ways, but not quite the same.
19:38 <Cepheid> Basically it means focus on optimizing the code that's run frequently. It also applies to bugs, by the way.
19:38 <Cepheid> 80% of crashes are caused by 20% of the bugs.
19:38 <Schism> Makes sense. I was thinking of the diminishing returns on optimization, where it can be more optimal to take a look at a different part of the code, assuming that there's not a strict bottleneck.
19:39 <Cepheid> You're still right about that.
19:39 <Cepheid> Focus on the parts that are running the most
19:39 <Cepheid> Otherwise, the returns are diminishing.
19:39 <Schism> Mm.
