[12:57] <MrFurious> hi
[12:57] <PitDroid> hello, MrFurious
[14:07] <kaotrix> http://photos.imageevent.com/jomo/newstuff/511761024_7eb4c67456_o.gif
[14:11] <eTrece> omfg i have been fooled twice in one day by the same url
[14:16] <MrFurious> sups
[14:17] <Luggage> Hey everyone. I'm trying to solve a very simple problem: User input for a G
[14:17] <eTrece> why use glut for your key input? there is stuff like ois that is more fully
[14:18] <MrFurious> or sdl i believe
[14:18] <eTrece> true that
[14:18] <Luggage> I'm in charge of writing a simple C++ input-class for a game-project (stupi
[14:18] <MrFurious> the folks in #opengl might have a better answer for you
[14:19] <eTrece> true, but in my opinion i would dump glut for simple key-in
[14:19] <Luggage> Indeed, I just wanted to try here first because I'd imagine gamedev-new-peo
[14:19] <MrFurious> agreed
[14:19] <MrFurious> newp, i went with sdl from the get go
[14:19] <MrFurious> you may want to consider doing the same
[14:19] <eTrece> i started with glut and dumped for sdl
[14:19] <MrFurious> never tried that ois tho
[14:20] <Luggage> Well, the course I'm taking is going to focus on using GLUT with OpenGL/C++
[14:21] <eTrece> in that case you should checkout the lighthouse3d tutorials, should help wit
[14:21] <Luggage> The teacher is, uhm.. Missing, and I've been trying to solve this problem f
[14:22] <Luggage> Alright, so I should check out: SDL (just for key-input), ois and hte light
[14:23] <MrFurious> acutally
[14:23] <eTrece> realistically you could use sdl for all your windowing stuff ;P
[14:23] <MrFurious> sdl is good for lots of stuff
[14:23] <MrFurious> ya
[14:23] <MrFurious> definately dig into it
[14:23] <eTrece> i agree 127%
[14:23] <MrFurious> so i'm wondering how far i should take my chat app
[14:23] <MrFurious> i mean wtf
[14:24] <MrFurious> its just a stinking chat app
[14:24] <eTrece> lol
[14:24] <eTrece> sounds exciting!!
[14:24] <MrFurious> but it'd be easy, at this point, to add stupid shit like buddy lists, and
[14:24] <MrFurious> offline msgs, etc etc
[14:24] <Luggage> Yeah, I've read through many posts arguing that SDL is great, and I am conv
[14:25] <MrFurious> if using sdl upsets your teacher for an opengl-centric assignment, your t
[14:25] <eTrece> lol i totally agree
[14:25] <MrFurious> see if i go much further with my chats, i'll need to setup a php/mysql ad
[14:25] <eTrece> also if ya wanna see ois then: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgois
[14:25] <Luggage> Well he gave the impression that we were just going to be using C++/OpenGL/
[14:26] <MrFurious> which isnt really that big of a deal but its a whole new chunk of bullshi
[14:26] <MrFurious> i guess the question is, what up the games
[14:26] <MrFurious> re my chat thing
[14:26] <MrFurious> are users gonna need all that shit for the games... if so, i should just
[14:26] <MrFurious> if not... meh i dunno
[14:27] <Luggage> Well, thanks guys. I appreaciate the advice, and I'll look into all your su
[14:27] <MrFurious> ah well g/l
[14:27] <MrFurious> cmon back and spam us when you get it done
[14:27] <MrFurious> i'll check it out
[14:27] <eTrece> true, i dunno if you added it to like an mmo then the chat would be nice. be
[14:27] <MrFurious> ya its, imo, already kinda better than most flash chat things
[14:28] <MrFurious> but its really just a test of this server
[14:28] <MrFurious> so going apeshit with the chat functionality feels a bit like a distracti
[14:28] <eTrece> i agree, is like those people that get stuck up writing an engine and never
[14:29] <eTrece> but could be helpful to others, i dunno
[14:29] <MrFurious> ya i'm that guy a lot
[14:29] <MrFurious> the point of the chat engine is actually to complet the game i made the b
[14:30] <MrFurious> cause without multiplayer its garbage
[14:31] <MrFurious> ah well suppose i'll sort it out
[14:31] <MrFurious> i wish i had like, 3 of me
[14:32] <eTrece> if i had like 3 of me i would make a gang
[14:32] <eTrece> like ms13 shit and roam the east coast lookin for trouble
[14:32] <eTrece> people would be like "ahh shit lookout for dem clones!!1"
[14:34] <MrFurious> lol
[14:34] <MrFurious> i think i'd start a fight club with myself
[14:35] <MrFurious> and train until i had achieved super human levels of combat ability
[14:35] <eTrece> that would be sweet
[14:35] <eTrece> i wonder what it would be called if you killed one? murder/suicide
[14:36] <MrFurious> selfacide
[14:36] <eTrece> lol nice
[14:36] <MrFurious> lolocaust
[14:36] <_kw> clonocide
[14:36] <_kw> hm, no.. that sounds like you murdered a clown
[14:37] <MrFurious> not a bad idea tho
[14:37] <MrFurious> fucking clowns.
[14:37] <[Relic]> just remember to use a silencer to kill a mime :)
[14:37] <_kw> no, but still beside the point
[14:37] <MrFurious> lol :P
[14:37] <MrFurious> nice
[14:37] <_kw> if you shoot a mime, does he scream?
[14:37] <_kw> brb, testing
[14:37] <_kw> I keep a couple of them in glass boxes :-)
[14:38] <MrFurious> lol
[14:38] <MrFurious> i still wanna make a furry-emo-mime hunter game
[14:38] <[Relic]> so the easiest way to assassinate a mime is to put him in a sealed glass bo
[14:38] <MrFurious> the boss monsters would be epic
[14:39] <MrFurious> or slowly crush them with something heavy from above
[14:39] <[Relic]> Kill all the teletubies?
[14:39] <MrFurious> yes them too
[14:39] <MrFurious> jus ttake all of the most despised elements of society an dput them in a
[14:40] <_kw> if I could choose a phobia I had, it'd be clowns btw
[14:40] <_kw> it's just such a funny cool phobia to have
[14:41] <_kw> walking around, then suddenly "OMFG A CLOWN!"
[14:41] <_kw> much more interesting than the fear of heights I now have
[14:45] * Disconnected
[14:45] * Attempting to rejoin channel #gamedev
[14:45] * Rejoined channel #gamedev
[14:48] <MrFurious> i dunno what i'm afraid of
[14:48] <MrFurious> dieing alone?
[14:48] <MrFurious> dunno if that counts as a phobia, thats just common sense
[14:48] <MrFurious> silly anywyas, everyone dies alone.
[14:48] <Luggage> Somehow I managed to read that you had a fear of Chocobos.
[14:48] <MrFurious> lol
[14:48] <Luggage> Which would be silly, Chocobos are awesome.
[14:49] <MrFurious> thats the final fantasy steeds right?
[14:49] <MrFurious> its something like that lol
[14:49] <Luggage> So I think I managed to get OIS up and running, testing it right now.

[14:58] <Sonistar> Luggage: whats your game?
[14:58] <Sonistar> Luggage: wouldnt SDL be good?

[21:58] <honkykong> srs
[22:42] <action1> anyone here doing an online game in PHP :)
[22:46] <FMJaguar> hopefully that game is chess by email
[22:47] <action1> cool
[22:47] <action1> when is it going to be done?
[22:47] <FMJaguar> it's not
[22:47] <FMJaguar> it wasn't a real answer
[22:47] <action1> bummer :)
[22:59] <honkykong> action1 i'm doing a whole bunch in flash/python
[22:59] <honkykong> was actually just hoping someone would have a sec they could try out the
[22:59] <honkykong> if you dont mind its at http://bokz.net/flash/test1.swf
[23:00] <action1> hey honkykong...what's up :)
[23:00] <action1> honkykong...you do php too, right?
[23:01] <FMJaguar> what is the question action1
[23:02] <action1> I'm wondering if folks have figured out how to scale stuff
[23:02] <action1> when getting too many clicks on a php game
[23:02] <action1> maybe I should use ajax
[23:02] <honkykong> hey action1
[23:03] <honkykong> yeah
[23:03] <honkykong> well a socket based approach would prolly work out more elegantly
[23:03] <honkykong> cause then you're not initiating a bunch of connections all the time
[23:03] <honkykong> you create one and keep it going
[23:03] <action1> for each user?
[23:04] <FMJaguar> php isn't great for this application
[23:04] <honkykong> right
[23:04] <honkykong> agreed php is probably not the way to go
[23:04] <FMJaguar> but if your already stuck with it, you'll have to make some creative use o
[23:04] <honkykong> dunno what th eapp is but if theres a shit ton of updates going... maybe
[23:05] <action1> yeah, how do I distribute the database stuff amongst multiple servers
[23:05] <action1> is there an easy way to do that/
[23:05] <honkykong> what game is this btw
[23:05] <action1> I'm doing a clone of Dope Wars :)
[23:06] <FMJaguar> and yeah ajax, and also serve the static content from a fast web server (l
[23:06] <action1> so the top 3 thins to do would be...
[23:06] <action1> 1) ajax
[23:06] <FMJaguar> depends on the app
[23:07] <action1> FM: have you split a database amongst multiple servers?
[23:07] <FMJaguar> ajax is just so they don't refresh the entire page, but you could also jus
[23:08] <action1> well, I can replace apache with lighttpd altogether, right?
[23:12] <FMJaguar> action1, just from people's experiences, you sacrifice some things going c
[23:13] <FMJaguar> like dynamic things, scripts, rewrites, modules, etc...
[23:16] <FMJaguar> so people tend to combine the two, lighttpd intercepts requests, and sends
[23:18] <DrScrat> apoopie
