00:30 <Cepheid> Hmm.
00:31 <Cepheid> The window itself reports key input in terms of ASCII.
00:31 <Cepheid> Though the OpenTK document is making it hard to figure out more.
00:31 <Cepheid> It's documentation uses a system which doesn't play well with Firefox, looks like.
00:32 <Cepheid> Okay, so there's a special class dedicated to the keyboard under OpenTK.Input.
00:34 <Cepheid> And the documentation issue isn't exclusive to Firefox. It's in general, apparently.
00:42 <Cepheid> Schism, what's that slow movement called in bullet hell games?
00:42 <Cepheid> As in, what's the official term in the bullet hell community?
00:42 <PinkieShy> Actually cooked these boneless breaded chicken in the oven instead of the deep fryer for once in about 2 months..
00:43 <PinkieShy> Actually has more of a crunch.
00:43 <Schism> Cepheid: Focus.
00:43 <DashedRainbows> And tastes meh
00:44 <Cepheid> Right, thanks.
00:45 <Cepheid> Basic controls: Movement(Multi-key or analog stick. Actually the trickiest to handle.), Fire(Button/Key), Bomb(Button/Key), Focus(Button/Key).
00:47 <Cepheid> Hum.
00:48 <Cepheid> Usability question, but I'm not sure how to express it.
00:48 <Schism> In Touhou, at least, those are generally mapped to ZXC if memory serves correctly.
00:48 <Cepheid> Oh, that's nothing.
00:49 <Cepheid> Button/key bindings are easy.
00:49 <Cepheid> It's in respect to movement.
00:49 <Cepheid> See, I want to reduce the complexity of handling input by translating input devices into a virtual gamepad device.
00:50 <Cepheid> The virtual gamepad device has an analog stick for movement, it will only ever report analog events, vectors indicating the direction and magnitude of the control stick's tilt. Buttons are labeled "Fire", "Bomb", and "Focus" and are bi-state devices. Either on, or off.
00:50 <Cepheid> For translating a gamepad input to it, this is easy.
00:51 <Cepheid> "Fire" = "Button1", Bomb" = "Button2", "Focus" = "Button3", "Movement" = "LeftStick"
00:51 <Cepheid> Or "Stick1"
00:52 <Cepheid> Same goes for using a joystick, if you're that crazy.
00:52 <Cepheid> It's when we get to keyboards, or assigning analog inputs to buttons.
00:53 <Cepheid> Analog inputs -> Buttons, you'd have to do something like, specify an axis of the analog input, and some threshhold to indicate on and off.
00:53 <Cepheid> Ideally, you'd normalize the input to ensure that it is always within a range of 0.0 to 1.0 on a given axis.
00:53 <PinkieShy> Still can't believe that i ate that much brownies Saturday..
00:53 <Cepheid> OR rather, -1.0 to 1.0
00:54 <PinkieShy> After Saturday, that told me i need more self control on the food i am eating like resist junk food.
00:54 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, for keyboards, it's just straight on-off buttons, that's all you got.
00:54 <PinkieShy> Which is why.. I made the statement yesterday that until July I am not making more brownies, or cake.. or even buying more little debbies or candy until July..
00:55 <PinkieShy> Force myself to do without the junk in my diet.
00:55 <Cepheid> The idea I have in mind is straightforward. Instead of specifying an input name, you specify an array of key-value pairs. The key being the keycode or scancode of a keyboard key, and the value being a vector indicating what it represents in terms of the analog input.
00:55 <Cepheid> PinkieShy: You can eat junk once in a while, but in moderation. That said, it is a good idea to try and cut back on sweets.
00:55 <Cepheid> After a while, your body will stop craving them.
00:56 <PinkieShy> Cepheid I remember in 2009 when i got addicted to club penguin.. (Yea that did happen) I didn't eat junk food or soda for like a year or two.
00:56 <Cepheid> I'd advise looking into foods that have complex carbs, and consuming those. Protein-heavy foods are good, too.
00:56 <PinkieShy> Went back to say reece peanut butter cup and that was so sweet my body's response was to spit it out fast.
00:57 <PinkieShy> I know there is.. uhh fiber one cookies and brownies.. lol
00:57 <Cepheid> Yeah, not that.
00:57 <Cepheid> For cereals, stop eating the sugary ones. There are cereals that still have sugar in them, but aren't sugary, like cheerios, or wheatabix and such.
00:57 <Cepheid> Try eating those instead.
00:57 <Cepheid> Or have a decent breakfast of bacon, eggs and a piece of fruit.
00:58 <PinkieShy> My favorite is honey nut cheerios :3
00:58 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's a sugary cereal.
00:58 <Cepheid> For the obvious reason.
00:58 <Cepheid> The reason I'm telling you to cut back on the sweets is that they are addictive. Sugar is addictive.
00:59 <PinkieShy> Cepheid on saturday I probably had to have had about 8 small brownies with cake frosting on top..
00:59 <PinkieShy> That's how out of hand that was lol
01:00 <Cepheid> It happens.
01:00 <Cepheid> Don't dwell on it, just tell yourself in the future you'll do better.
01:00 <Cepheid> When you go to pick out food to eat, do your best to stop yourself and remind yourself that it shouldn't be something filled with sugar.
01:00 <Cepheid> Small amounts are okay.

01:18 <Cepheid> Really, the biggest thing is exercise and eating habits.
01:18 <Cepheid> And, just so you know.
01:19 <Cepheid> There's a lot of scams out there that deal in weight loss supplements and other products.
01:19 <Cepheid> Don't trust them.
01:19 <Cepheid> About the only pill I know that'd help is Vyvanse, and that's only because it curbs binge eating. If you don't binge eat, it'll do nothing for you.
01:23 <Cepheid> I'm all for standardized game input device interfaces, but they only work if the game input devices actually follow the standard.
01:23 <Cepheid> Hey, Schism! Where's the A button on your controller?
01:23 <Cepheid> Same question to you, PinkieShy. Whichever controller you use for gaming.
01:24 <PinkieShy> I use the xbox one controller :P
01:24 <DashedRainbows> mine is the bottom most
01:24 <Cepheid> Just answer the question. :P
01:24 <Cepheid> Where's the "A" button on the controller in the four-button scheme.
01:24 <Cepheid> Top, bottom, left, right?
01:25 <Schism> Oh, one sec...
01:25 <Cepheid> In any case..
01:25 <Schism> A is on the bottom.
01:25 <DashedRainbows> it's on the bottom on qbone
01:25 <DashedRainbows> xbox one*
01:25 <Cepheid> On the 360/XBox One, it's on the bottom.
01:25 <Cepheid> On the Switch, it's... *Checks*
01:25 <Schism> Which still annoys me, as muscle memory demands that I think the A button is on the /right/. *glares at SNES controller*
01:26 <Cepheid> Left, right-hand joycon.
01:26 <PinkieShy> bottom
01:26 <Cepheid> If you're using joycons in their multiplayer mode, it's the bottom button then, and on one joycon, it's not even labeled.
01:26 <Cepheid> On the playstation controller... A? What's the A button?
01:27 <Cepheid> My point is, the whole "IsAButtonDown" boolean variable in a "generic gamepad" class is stupid and pointless.
01:28 <Cepheid> I would prefer to deal with a gamepad using a completely generic interface. That is, buttons are numbered rather than given distinct colorings or letterings.
01:28 <Cepheid> Same with analog inputs. They aren't labeled LeftStick, RightStick, LEftTrigger, etc.
01:28 <Cepheid> Nope. Analog[0], Analog[1], and so on.
01:29 <Cepheid> Unfortunately, this makes labeling the buttons ingame difficult.
01:29 <Cepheid> As ConfusionRift stated last night, when he got the Amulet in Rabi-Ribi for the first time, it told him to use the Amulet button. That is, it identified the requisite button by indicating an image of what was assigned to it.
01:30 <Cepheid> Arguably, this works better. When the user knows what buttons are assigned to these graphics.
01:30 <Cepheid> There's a solution that's better altogether, though.
01:32 <Cepheid> You first identify what type of devices the user has connected for input. You then load a localization file for that device. In said file, you reference buttons and inputs as Analog1, Button1, Analog2, Button2, and so on, and assign a string to the input. So for example: "Analog1" : "Left Stick", "Button1" : "A Button". Or: "Analog1" : "Right Stick", "Button1" : "B Button". And so on, and so on.
01:33 <Cepheid> By using identifiers of the devices and loading an associated localization file, you can support all the various configurations.
01:33 <Cepheid> Don't got a button with a label, but it's coloured? "Button1" : "Red Button"
01:33 <Cepheid> Controller doesn't have an associated file? You can just make one.
01:34 <Cepheid> And for kicks, you can also assign an image to display when the user brings up the controller help.
01:35 <Cepheid> Anyone here use a wireless XBox 360 controller for Windows?
01:35 <Cepheid> I need to confirm something, but I can't check it on my end.
01:36 <Cepheid> ... Actually what am I talking about? I can check it.
01:37 <Cepheid> If you want to help though, say somethin'
01:40 <Cepheid> Bah. Device Manager doesn't show the GUID of the controller.
01:43 <Cepheid> Dang.
01:43 <Cepheid> GUID is different under Windows.
01:43 <Cepheid> Then again, not surprised.
01:44 <Cepheid> So I'll need to track different GUIDs on different platforms. Very well then.

01:50 <Cepheid> For those following along and afraid to ask questions: A GUID is a Globally Unique IDentifier. It's an identifier that, indicative of it's name, is unique to whatever it is attached to. In the case of a controller, for example, if I plug in the same controller, I'll always get the same GUID for it.
01:50 <Cepheid> However, I'm not sure if that GUID changes between identical controllers.
01:52 <Cepheid> Preliminary tests show that, as long as the devices are identical, the GUIDs stay the same. Okay then, so it's some sort of class-device ID that's being reported in Linux and Windows.

03:07 <Cepheid> Cross-platform framework developers are morons.
03:12 <RazorSharpFang> What happened this time?
03:15 <Cepheid> Developer's limited the number of buttons you can reference on a mouse.
03:21 <Cepheid> Ah, the source clarifies.
03:21 <Cepheid> Still, maximum of 16 buttons. Not a good limit.
03:22 <RazorSharpFang> What sort of mice would have more than 16 buttons?
03:24 <Cepheid> I am going to ask you up front. Are you absolutely sure you want an answer to that question?
03:26 <Cepheid> https://www.newegg.ca/logitech-910-002864-g600-usb-wired/p/N82E16826104674 20 buttons. https://www.newegg.ca/roccat-roc-11-900-am-nyth-usb-wired/p/N82E16826436041 18 buttons.
03:26 <Cepheid> Take a guess at what you think is the maximum number of X items on a object. That value is guaranteed to be wrong. Double it, or use the maximum possible value you can use for it.
03:27 <Cepheid> Hardware manufacturers have no concept of "limits"
03:27 <Schism> And then there's this mouse. https://boingboing.net/2009/11/10/the-original-40-butt.html
03:28 <Schism> Oh, or this thing. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--GmT-9925--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/kjgkxjwmszm5yvzef0vi.jpg
03:29 <Cepheid> This is how I see it.
03:29 <Cepheid> I have, let's see..
03:30 <Cepheid> I have 15 USB ports on the motherboard alone.
03:31 <Cepheid> There are USB2.0 x10 hubs on newegg that I can find, surely this number is low.
03:32 <Cepheid> So using one of those hubs on every port, that's 150 ports.
03:32 <Cepheid> Now, a reasonable person would have one mouse.
03:32 <Cepheid> So is it safe to assume that a computer will only ever have one pointing device installed? What about a maximum of 4? 16? 32?
03:32 <Cepheid> The answer is no.
03:32 <Cepheid> None of these limits are acceptable.
03:33 <Cepheid> Because there are people out there, who, for the sake of being absolutely, positively mad, will hook up 10-port hubs to all of their USB ports on a PC, and connect as many mice or other pointing devices as possible to them.
03:33 <Cepheid> Why?
03:34 <Cepheid> Because they're either testing for security issues involving using such setups to either overload the kernel, smash the stack, or damage dynamic memory because a developer made assumptions about the maximum number of X devices.
03:34 <Cepheid> Or they're insane.
03:34 <Cepheid> More probably insane.
03:34 <Cepheid> And when it comes time for them to hook that all up, and oh, hey, only 4 out of those 150 pointing devices works, they'll complain.
03:34 <Cepheid> They'll get ridiculed for it, probably, but that won't stop 'em.
03:36 <Cepheid> I may be a bit defensive in regards to this, but I've seen the problem occur before.
03:40 <Cepheid> The short version is "If you're dealing with a configurable aspect that can be added to, don't hardcode. Someone will test the limits of your application and complain."
03:40 <Cepheid> Oh, hey. First advertisement on TV that I've seen for Godzilla King of the Monsters.
03:44 <Cepheid> "Ah, mice will never have more than 16 buttons." *40-button mouse exists.* "Ah, keyboards will never have more than 104 keys." *109-key keyboards exists.* And so on.
03:44 <RazorSharpFang> 255 as the max number of keys on a keyboard I can see.
03:45 <RazorSharpFang> e.g.: Using an unsigned char as the internal representation of the key input.
03:46 <Cepheid> Technically, it could be as large as Unicode is. One key for each codepoint. But that's impractical, and while I never expect it to happen, I use a 32-bit integer anyways.
03:54 <RazorSharpFang> Why stop at 32-bit? Have it be an arbitrary-size integer.
03:56 <Cepheid> 64-bit integer would likely suffice for the next several millenia. I'd love to see someone try to come up with a keyboard that has more keys than a 64-bit integer can hold.

08:33 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
08:33 <Finwe> I got a bit, *cough* confuzzled there.
08:33 <Cepheid> Hey Rifty.

08:36 * ConfusionRift wavies as Cepheid.
08:36 <Cepheid> Streamin' me a Rabi-Ribi 0% run on normal. https://www.twitch.tv/cepheidvar/ Wanna watch? :P
08:36 <ConfusionRift> *at
08:36 <ConfusionRift> Sure. :P
08:37 <Cepheid> CAT! I cannot see what I am doing!
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Ah, no item run.
08:39 * Finwe attaches CAT to Cepheid.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Aaaah, no?!
08:39 <Cepheid> Yeah, 0%.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> That was close.
08:41 <Cepheid> ...
08:42 <Cepheid> Geezus, those cats hurt more than she does.
08:42 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that's... yeah.
08:44 <ConfusionRift> Nice.
08:45 <Cepheid> I am allowed to use the buffs in a 0% run.
08:46 <Cepheid> Shoes? What're those? Never heard of 'em.
08:50 <ConfusionRift> What? The weakling slippers? Don't need them! :P
08:50 <ConfusionRift> Ouch...
08:52 <ConfusionRift> I forgot she did that.
08:53 <Cepheid> Lack of mobility hurts things a lot. o3o
08:53 <ConfusionRift> Yep, and she latches on to you something fierce.
08:54 <ConfusionRift> Yeah... MOLLIGAN!
08:54 <ConfusionRift> ...mulligan?
08:55 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, that was not nice.
08:57 <ConfusionRift> Bad kitty, not nice!
08:59 <ConfusionRift> Ooouuuh.
08:59 <Cepheid> No comment on the end there.
08:59 <ConfusionRift> That was way too close.
08:59 <Cepheid> I'm like "Wait, she h- Shoot her! SHOOT HER!"
09:00 <ConfusionRift> "Ribbon, the AK!!! Shoot her already!"
09:01 <ConfusionRift> Wait, the heck is that? Low Item % +2?
09:01 <Cepheid> Appeared after I finished the first Stele event.
09:01 <ConfusionRift> Huh, I guess it's a buff?
09:01 <Cepheid> Doesn't appear to be.
09:03 <ConfusionRift> And here be the next wall.
09:06 <ConfusionRift> Excuse me?!
09:10 <ConfusionRift> It seems that Low Item % is a marker for low/no item run, and the +N being difficulty.
09:17 <Cepheid> ...
09:17 <Cepheid> The heck was that?
09:17 <ConfusionRift> I saw that, and... she got clever. :P
09:20 <Cepheid> I was waiting for that sequence. Bah.
09:20 <Cepheid> I know there's a way to dodge it, I can't recall.
09:21 <ConfusionRift> It seems the attacks concentrate on one area, so there is a dodge point. Thing is, your mobility is still pretty bad, despite the boost.
09:23 <ConfusionRift> Pinch mode, ready!
09:24 <Cepheid> Dangit, I walked into that one.
09:24 <ConfusionRift> I barely saw it. It hid behind Ribbon. :P
09:27 <ConfusionRift> "DON'T NEED HELP!"
09:27 <Cepheid> Exactly my thought.
09:27 <Cepheid> Stop asking, game.
09:30 <ConfusionRift> Urgh.
09:31 *** Joins: danwellby (danwellby@The.lone.griffon)
09:34 <Cepheid> Note to self: She moves forward with the stars after landing, so use the amulet there.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> Hello what?!
09:35 <Cepheid> I don't think her AI likes a low-percentage run.
09:35 <ConfusionRift> She didn't just go underground, she also avoided you.
09:37 <ConfusionRift> Oh. Huh, I think I know what happened, but still an odd thing.
09:38 <Cepheid> Reeeaaally hate that she randomly jumps.
09:42 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmmm! That was hmmmmm!!!
09:44 <ConfusionRift> Ouch!!!
09:44 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's kinda a tricky jump.
09:44 <ConfusionRift> Those are basically instant death.
09:44 <Cepheid> And what's behind it isn't any easier.
09:44 * ConfusionRift nods.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> Wait, doesn't store items count to %?
09:45 <Cepheid> Those aren't from the store.
09:45 <Cepheid> Rumi gives you then after you return to town.
09:45 <ConfusionRift> Ah, right.
09:45 <Cepheid> They're the only restoratives you're allowed to have.
09:46 <ConfusionRift> I think this is their full hurrah.
09:47 <Cepheid> Now that, that battle is yeah.
09:47 <ConfusionRift> Oh goodness. It's kinda tricky, even with items.
09:50 <ConfusionRift> Ah, that was not fair.
09:50 <ConfusionRift> "You cannot escape!"
09:58 <Cepheid> What am I doing..?
09:58 <Cepheid> I got a warp point here.
09:58 <ConfusionRift> I do not knoooow~.
09:59 <ConfusionRift> "Erina, Ribbon want those earrings!" | "Don't need 'em." | "But-" | "No butts!!!"
10:01 <ConfusionRift> Hah! Just noticed. They forgot to sprite the boots when she spins after losing. She appears with her one leg stocking.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> How?!
10:05 * Finwe returns.
10:05 <ConfusionRift> That is a very precise jump.
10:06 <ConfusionRift> Welcome back.
10:06 <Finwe> I tried a bit longer run today, around the lake by which I live and another, a bit smaller one.
10:07 <Finwe> The next step would be to run around the larger ones, I guess.
10:07 <Finwe> Might require some further training, though.
10:08 <Cepheid> Actually, I think I'm done for the time being.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, this one is... bleeeh.
10:11 <ConfusionRift> Was rewatching that madness with Ashuri. I completely missed that she did the jump off attack under the stage, and then popped on stage and did it again.
10:14 <Finwe> Never rewatch the madness.
10:14 <Finwe> Or was it, "Never stop the madness"?
10:14 * Finwe is puzzled.
10:15 <ConfusionRift> Chaos?!
10:15 <ConfusionRift> Chaos!!!
10:17 <ConfusionRift> Aaah, come on. It looks like they copied the normal dress and just changed over it for the death animation. But it looks like there are frames they didn't fully change. So as she spins, you can still see her armbands and one legging, while sorta wearing the selected dress.
10:20 <Cepheid> Heh.
10:20 * DashedRainbows sniffs ConfusionRift and wags her tail
10:21 * ConfusionRift pets DashedRainbows. :P
10:21 <Cepheid> But yeah, I don't think Ashuri's AI likes 0% runs.
10:22 <Cepheid> Seems like she was in a twitchy mood the entire battle. Could see her raise her wand, then drop it, then raise it again, etc.
10:23 * DashedRainbows paws at ConfusionRift with her hooves
10:25 * ConfusionRift plays around DashedRainbows.
10:26 <ConfusionRift> Did always thought that some aspects of the game were not made with a 0% run in mind, despite there being moves and paths they added specifically for that.
10:27 * DashedRainbows ponies around
10:29 <Cepheid> A 0% run is generally not thought of ahead of time, because it's considered to be INSANE.
10:55 * Cepheid yawns, stretches.
10:55 <Cepheid> I feel like *YAY* now.
11:01 * DashedRainbows offers her toy to ConfusionRift and curls up to sleep
11:02 * ConfusionRift huggles DashedRainbows. "Have a good one."
11:03 <ConfusionRift> Also feel like pffft.
11:07 * Finwe patpats ConfusionRift.

11:43 <ConfusionRift> 0_0
11:44 <ConfusionRift> This is not good, man. You're derailing, and that's probably all those sedatives kicking in at the same time.
11:46 <Cepheid> All I know I have a problems, and that problem is that I mix two or more medication for a certain situation
11:46 <ConfusionRift> I know. But sedatives? That's a danger zone.
11:49 <Cepheid> I feel in, In motion,I'm a little slggish, But it is annplouing matek. Coordinateionn is imjopaired.
