Morning! We're thinking about events to show Fabulous Beasts at in the next month. Do you know of any we don't?
-
@whitingjp @jawsew I keep being afraid I've done that. Pretty sure I'm 28 rn, though.
-
@JamesACoote will have a poke, thanks!

RT @Mikey_Nicholson: It's early days but this may be the story of 2016.

@mousefountain i live on the other side of the city from the town i grew up in which means i can still go to those people's birthday parties
-
@alexhern wasn't this the origin story of OkCupid, too? Not quite as direct a bait-and-switch, but SparkNotes was their initial pool.
-
@pozorvlak very little of the revelations of the security agencies workings has been surprising - but confirmed & on the record is news
-
I'm gonna be at London Indies tonight with a Fabulous Beasts set if anyone wants to play.

@benswinden emoji is the vector by which unicode spreads
-
@benswinden no: i love emoji 🎺
-
@Cyarron ironically they also don't like people who make the masks they wear obvious
-
@caraellison the writer will do something, scarfmemory, quite possibly HIGH END CUSTOMIZABLE SAUNA EXPERIENCE but i'd have to check
-
@caraellison oh! the works of @Citrushistrix. definitely. either of those. or bret.itch.io/library-fantasy or Bell Park, Youth Detective

@Cyarron my facebook is all 9gag and the lad bible.

our rivals in the animal themed stacking game biz have just launched a crowdfunding drive: ulule.com/pyjama-party/

Bad news: Wild Rumpus isn't organizing a GDC party this year Good news: Brandon has teamed up with Juegos instead. that.party

I am really happy to go to a cool party and drink and not organize the cool party.

@KommanderKlobb Like I'd ever go to a party without a few USB hubs tucked away somewhere.

Missed the bus so I went to the shop and missed the bus again.
-
What's something I could do while waiting that would take about a minute longer than the bus will take to arrive?
-
@WordMercenary no, I did it sloppily, and then before I could fix it, Twitter removed the ability to upload transparent avatars.
-
@WordMercenary it can never be mended.
-
@WordMercenary nah, after the first few years, I've gotten pretty zen about it
-
@IneffectiveMath too late, I caught the bus
-
@Cyarron @caraellison there's a forest of maybes, but if you email me in a year's time about this, i will be excited.

We're project of the day on Kickstarter! Lookit: kickstarter.com

I use these emoji hopefully: 💰💸🤑💷
-
@spacefinner comin' later today! but we're only about half way, yet, so the actual stretch goals are still some ways off
-
@clarered i don't know either, but it can't hurt. about a third of our backers so far have come through KS, which gives some indication.

what's your favourite food that's a mainly a delivery mechanism for other food?
-
@Thairyn i was thinking about this, but then actually i really love bread and butter. really love it. and that's like... 50% about the bread

@Gib i think it counts!

@nikkipugh ouch, yeah, i can imagine.

@WordMercenary it's nice how "pasta sauce" can just mean "lots of melted cheese"

just discovered my server has a 32bit userland on a 64bit kernel and i really wish i didn't know or care about what that means
-
(it means nvm gets it wrong, which means it's hard to install new node version, which means no phantomjs2, which means CBDQ SVGs are fussy)
-
@oskar_lq it's been fun
-
@BanditoJuan @fastramdesign @jabelsjabels I think that's my pick, too. So literally nothing alone, so much good food enabled.
-
@legobutts hey
-
CBDQ SVG support has just gotten better: moved to phantomjs2, so more things will render, and when they fail they print an error message.
-
@legobutts YES
-
@deer_ful i fixed up CBDQ! it now shows you errors inline if your SVG is not quite valid.
-
@deer_ful (and tested it on @GraphicScoreBot's corpus - it pointed me at the errors, I fixed them, it worked \o/)
-
@GalaxyKate ping ^^ . I was just able to fix up @TinyAdv to work in about 5 minutes.

-
@dreamfeelx i'm making a stew and going to mess with dungeon decorator or maybe actually sit down with firewatch (i got an early copy, shh)
-
@dreamfeelx but KS means work is long these days, and i am behind on a bunch of social shit. too much, but feeling p happy still. you?
-
@dreamfeelx ps reasonably often i wish i was in dublin so i could come watch films at lunchtime with you
-
just watched that Unreal VR vid (lorenschmidt.itch.io/dungeon-decorator), and suddenly i have THOUGHTS about VR editor design. okay:
-
first off : floating gizmos attached to your hands? grabbing with laser pointers? why not make things much more physical?
-
@jonbro ahhhhh, that is beautiful.
-
hahaha okay, link is actually here: youtube.com/watch?v=JKO9fEjNiio. but yeah, click the other link instead @jonbro
-
you don't need grid alignment, move-along-x-axis. just grab and move. and maybe optional gravity instead of floor snapping.
-
mainly, though: why is it at that scale? why isn't it a dinky little tabletop scene, with a "warp here and look about" tool?
-
the sensors are accurate enough and your arms won't get so tired. you can have the overview, eye up alignments etc much easier.
-
and you can make the tools exist in the space, make them discoverable. a scale wand, a grab wand, a texture wand, a spawn wand.
-
(shortcuts on the controllers, too - but an endless drawer full of models would be nicer than a virtual iPad of rendered previews)
-
i totally know why you'd do it this way first, and can feel the pain of hacking in VR to a unwieldy beast like Unreal. but in the future...
-
@polclarissou ohh, that sounds like rad arguments to be having. my experience is too limited.
-
@dreamfeelx whaaaa...! excited for that to be so soon, then! thanks! ks is okay, i think we'll get there. if you want advice, hmu!
-
@dreamfeelx and that would be rad. i want to do more weekend trips this year. will start scheming!
-
@timoni aye, i can see that - i think especially it was the using lasers to translate/two handed grab that seemed unwieldy.
-
@timoni but that's also necessary if you're person-sized and designing room-sized stuff.
-
@BanditoJuan that sounds a bit tricky, yeah. i'm okay with palettes generally, but the radial menu & model selector seemed transplanted.
-
@jonbro i have not! yeah, i bet it does (i am pretty sure some of these ideas are ripped from articles about it)
-
@vectorpoem ah! that sounds better (though pinch-zoom rescaling sounds potentially nauseating?)
-
nice article on UX for VR - things people trip up on: medium.com/@timoni/ux-pointers-for-vr-design-dd52b718e19#.k34o5gwd6
-
@BanditoJuan apologies: @v21/695341388360093696
-
@helvetica i'm using linode, but i would not recommend them these days
-
@martinhollis @jonbro sorry! the original link was to @lorenschmidt's dungeon editor, not the vid. dungeon editor is better.
-
that said, some of the capabilities are potential security holes on my server. hm hm.
-
@timoni i guess... i think i'd be fine with just really fast switching. i assume jump cuts feel better in VR than overlays?
-
@AimieWilson27 @JmeBBK It's called Fabulous Beasts! We should be out late this year, but you can back us now: kickstarter.com/projects/sensibleobject/fabulous-beasts-a-new-kind-of-game

@lorenschmidt @mousefountain yess! i am making a badger sett and doing okay, but a soft edge (like an arch piece but convex) would be ace.

adding Another Thing To Think About When Making A CBDQ Bot. I think this feature is worth it, though.
-
@GalaxyKate this feature directly came out of our conversation, clearly. default on for new bots, too.

@deer_ful nahh, bug reports very much welcome! looking into it now
-
@GalaxyKate yeah - wondering if i should set up a forum, too...
-
@20hz20khz try adding a width and height attribute to the <svg> element
-
@20hz20khz adding an error message for that is on the list
-
@deer_ful okay, should be fixed now!
-
@GalaxyKate mainly wondering about moderation & having a critical mass of users (to survive me getting busy and going away fro a bit)
-
@GalaxyKate yeah, but the community is fragmented, and it's hard to pass on techniques via scattered tweets...
-
@jonbro yep! that needs sorting out, really. (the npm package tracery-grammar tracks tracery2, for ref)
-
@jonbro though actually, most of those don't use tracery2 features... maybe TinyAdv does
-
@GalaxyKate i am hoping that making the source default-public means tricks and structure get passed on among ambitious users.
-
@GalaxyKate like... some people comment their source? and break it down by sections.
-
@jonbro yeah, and it ~~should~~ match up to server side rendering (now using phantomjs2 and validating the SVG in editor)
-
@Johnicholas they put in dummy entries so it was still valid JSON
-
@mrfb yeah, i did think about that
-
@mrfb it's probably a good idea? kinda want to make a forum/wiki somewhere for people to chat technique and show off their bots, too.

Firewatch is a high-quality videogame. blog.camposanto.com/post/138999002649/firewatch-is-out-now-on-steam-and-playstation-4 I would recommend it.

@ADAMATOMIC that's a nice vine, though

@KommanderKlobb @radiatoryang yep :/ also, which is fun, if you're a woman and you have sex with a man who has had sex with a man.

@KommanderKlobb @radiatoryang But OK if you're a man who has had sex with a woman who has had sex with a man who has had sex with a man.

@lorenschmidt looking forward to seeing the png encoding format for this! :D
-
@NoraReed oh, hey : did you see that /source/ option i added to cbdq?
-
@lorenschmidt so what switches between "print a character" and "print a sprite"? or are the sprites packed into a range inside unicode?
-
@NoraReed curious to hear your thoughts when you do!
-
@lorenschmidt I was cycling home thinking "this is what a Private Use Area is for"
-
@lorenschmidt hahaha
-
@lorenschmidt other ideas : make the base-64 string the binary blob, so tiles map to characters.
-
@lorenschmidt and use the history API to push the map state to the URL on changes
-
@lorenschmidt I did it with v21.io/games/assembly/ (think the relevant source is embedded in the Flash, though)
-
@lorenschmidt (there, it's kind of a clue to the functioning of the thing, too)
-
@lorenschmidt though, images are nice because you can see the basic layout of the map in them...

@jonbro make sure you get phtanomjs2 if you want it to render complicated shit. but also i've heard there are still problems...
-
@jonbro (not that i've seen, but others went to... hrrrng... other tools to render stuff. tho i think they didn't take in SVGs there)
-
@jonbro here's my phantomjs2 enabled fork of svg2png: github.com/v21/svg2png. and here's it in use: github.com/v21/traceryhosting-backend/blob/master/run_bots.js#L33
-
@jonbro noooo... (tho i did use svg => mesh tools before). yr usual ImageMagick etc type thing.
-
@jonbro just fuck with the string you're passing it? same as your Tracery experiment.

Does anyone know how to get a Google Analytics event when someone clicks on a FB Share button within a page?

@radiodario the button is a tiny iframe which creates a new window via JS...

@radiodario there's an API hook for the event where someone clicks a like button, but not a share button
-
@radiodario no, the button is a iframe itself (injected into a div by FB's JS). It eats the events, and I think SOP stops me from messin.

@radiodario however! It looks like I could check whether we're in the iframe in a setInterval? stackoverflow.com/questions/3690812/capture-click-on-div-surrounding-an-iframe

-
@rainshapes ah, thanks! great to hear - hit the point where i'm questioning my approaches.
-
@GalaxyKate i didn't even know you could push an array or rules... but it seems confusing to me because it's several layers down
-
@GalaxyKate it effectively makes "," a special character everywhere (that you might later variable-ize)
-
@GalaxyKate i guess late-resolution of symbols would be good - but i would make that have to be declared in the same level as the symbol
-
@GalaxyKate ie [symb:thingy,thingy2,thingy3], where thingy{,2,3} are just treated as text (even then the syntax makes me unhappy)
-
@GalaxyKate hm! late resolution is something i did explicitly want previously... hm hm hm!
