01:41:07midkhey amiconn? any word on that drawgraymap converter?
01:41:09midkno rush just curious
01:41:50amiconnno, not yet. I'm currently implementing scroll up/down by n pixels
01:42:08midkok thanks
01:42:19midknice work on the fillrect update too
01:42:30amiconn:)
01:42:32amiconnNext will be font support
01:43:08midki just got done writing my own
01:43:14midkthat took a while. :D
01:47:16***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:49:23amiconnScrolling up/down by n works now :)
01:49:53midkscrolling... the grayscale display?
01:51:06amiconnA replacement for gray_scroll_up1() / gray_scroll_down1(): scroll up/down by <n> pixels instead of only 1, with almost the same speed
01:51:39midkyes, that scrolls the overlay?
01:52:11amiconnyup.

03:28:56TempisI'm fairly certain I know the answer, but I'd like to be sure
03:31:17BlueClipsounded more like a statement to me
03:31:28 Nick BlueClip is now known as BlueChip (~bluechip@213.107.250.61)
03:31:43TempisWell, I mean it as a question.
03:31:49Tempissorry for any confusion

03:32:18Tempisoh good

03:32:34TempisNow that that is cleared up, time for the whores?
03:32:41BlueChipwoof
03:32:53arspy87i used "rhetoric" instead of "writing" in an english essay, and the teacher wrote question marks above it.
03:32:56Tempisoh, and booze... can't forget the booze
03:33:13BlueChipindo for later
03:33:32Tempisanyhow, I am getting a Studio 10 and I want to be certain that rockbox is going to work on it

03:34:41TempisIt didnt mention the 10 specifically so I wanted to be sure
03:35:22Tempisany of you using 2000 mAh batteries?
03:35:58Tempisor are the stock ones good enough for you
03:38:41BlueChipi use the 1500s that came with it, if i replace them i will likely get the biggest available - 2700's iirc
03:38:53Tempis2700's eh
03:39:09BlueChipmy local supermarket has only 2300's
03:39:29TempisI looked at Lowes today, but I didnt see any NiMH batteries
03:39:33TempisI'll check Walmart tomorrow
03:39:49Tempiswhat do 2700's go for?
03:40:18BlueChipnever checked
03:40:22Tempison average, how much time do you get out of the 1500's
03:40:43BlueChipused t get about 12hrs, now about 2-3
03:40:47Tempisouch
03:40:59Tempishow old are the batteries?
03:41:15 Nick midk|brb is now known as midk (mk@AC87E4BC.ipt.aol.com)
03:41:17BlueChipmy own fault - I treated them badly - but a friend has a proper recharger - so im hoping to revive them
03:41:23TempisI'm buying a used unit so it might be wise for me to buy some new batteries

03:47:42TempisI've been to england many times, but I usually have stayed in the southeast

03:48:25TempisI thought New Orleans drivers were crazy
03:48:30BlueChipWOOOHOOOO - Arspy the free man - Well Done dude

03:48:42BlueChiplol
03:48:53BlueChipwe laugh at american car chase scenes
03:49:09BlueChipOH MY GOD HES DOING NEARLY 70 MILES PER HOUR!!!!
03:49:12Tempisthe craziest thing I ever saw was 2 double deckers passing each other on a little country road
03:49:17BlueChip...he must be braking for something
03:49:31BlueChiplol
03:50:03TempisOnly explanation I could come up with was that the laws of physics somehow don't apply on English country roads
03:50:18arspy87haha!
03:50:23BlueChipLOL - I don't think ANY laws apply on English country roads :)
03:50:27Tempisheh
03:51:38Tempismy mode of transportation will be trains
03:51:45TempisI enjoy the train rides
03:51:46BlueChipyou are a psychopath
03:51:51Tempisheh
03:52:01Tempiswe dont have trains here so it's a nice change
03:52:15Tempisif you dont have a car, you aint going nowhere
03:52:52Tempisplus I hate driving
03:53:01BlueChipthat's fair
03:53:03Tempisat least on a train I can chill out and relax
03:53:19Tempisall I have to worry about is making sure I get off at the right stop
03:53:32TempisI can read... listen to my Jukebox...
03:53:34BlueChipand whether the train running late will make you miss your connection
03:53:46Tempiswell, there's that I guess
03:54:05Tempisbut since I'll be on vacation I will probably not be in any hurry to get anywhere
03:54:14BlueChipand the 20 football a'holes who might start a fight any second
03:54:31Tempiswe did all the touristy stuff last year, so this time I just want to take it easy
03:54:42BlueChipDO NOT travel in rush hour!
03:54:50TempisI did that in London
03:54:57BlueChipbaaaaaaad move
03:54:59BlueChiplol
03:55:07Tempisit was morning rush hour
03:55:13Tempisand I was going to the airport
03:55:27BlueChipWales is very picturesque, and only a 4hr drive
03:55:37Tempisbut the tube went right to Victoria and from there straight on to Gatwick
03:55:45TempisI was almost born in Wales
03:56:00Tempisbut dad had to come back to the states
03:56:18BlueChipshame - dubble passport time
03:56:24Tempisoh I have that
03:56:40Tempismoms from Liverpool
03:56:52Tempisapplied for dual citizenship before I turned 18
03:57:15TempisI need to get my UK passport renewed though
03:57:22BlueChipLiverpool is getting better nowdays - still pretty rough though
03:57:33TempisI havent been back since I was 8 or 9
03:57:41TempisI barely remember it
03:58:02Tempisgetting back to the charger thing
03:58:10Tempiswas that in the thousands?
03:58:42BlueChipi'm sure you can find more expensive ones if you shop around
03:59:08TempisI dont need a battery charger more expensive than my car
03:59:17BlueChiphence why i asked my Q ;)
03:59:18midkLOL
03:59:19TempisI was thinking in the $50 range
03:59:36BlueChipyou should get something reasonable in that range
03:59:48Tempisgot any suggestions?
03:59:55Tempisnot sure what to look for
04:00
04:00:05TempisI dont know much about battery technology
04:00:13Tempisooo Mail Call is on
04:00:43BlueChipanalogue pwm cycle - discharge cycle - individual charge - errrrr
04:01:08BlueChipcheck batteryuniversity.com
04:02:03Tempisthanks
04:05:07BlueChiparsepie, you got 10 mins I can steal from you?
04:05:28Tempisyeah, don't expect to have them returned
04:06:08BlueChiplol - sorry "arspy" is another user here - my sense of humour is running on dead cells atm
04:06:14Tempisso the archos people give you a Li Ion battery charger with NiMH batteries?
04:06:51BlueChipno, hence my "lion->nimh" comment - it was me thinking about eight things at once
04:07:22Tempisoh
04:12:36Tempishmm looks like walmart only have 2000 mAh ones for about $13 for a 4 pack
04:13:45BlueChipyeah, the big ones are from specialists only afaik
04:14:08Tempisabout the chargers... would it be one to plug into the archos or a standalone charger
04:14:32BlueChipstand alone
04:15:10Tempisis the archos designed to take the batteries out on a frequent basis?
04:16:02BlueChipdont know about the studio - later models dont like it
04:16:19BlueChipthe spring is held on with a blob of solder!
04:16:32midkLOL
04:16:37midkblob
04:18:29Tempiswell, I'm off to play some Battlefield Vietnam... thanks for the info

08:14:36LinusNyeah, it feels really sluggish :-)
08:14:49midkthanks for the insight. :)
08:14:55LinusNno collision detection for the bricks yet?
08:14:59midknope
08:15:04midkbluechip was supposed to help with that
08:15:10midkhe sort of gave up :)
08:15:12LinusNlooks really nice btw
08:15:17midkah thanks
08:15:22midki plan to have a shade adjuster
08:15:30midkwell and a brick size selector
08:15:32LinusNthe paddle leaves some traces
08:16:38midkyup, thats cos it jumps by 2
08:16:49midkhopefully when fast enough we won't have to
08:17:54midkit's actually quite bug ridden.
08:19:15LinusNit shouldn't leave traces even if it moves many pixels
08:19:37LinusNyou don't clear the paddle explicitly?
08:20:08midkno, as per bluechip's suggestion, just added a space of white (1px either side)
08:20:12midki should just clear that line
08:20:29midkbut you know bluechip −− if you don't do it his way he is done with you
08:20:31midkor at least to me
08:22:16LinusNi know
08:22:24LinusNit's not a bad idea
08:23:27midkyes.. the original problem was that clearing the lcd had the problem of erasing the blocks right away
08:23:35midkso of course just to move drawing blocks to the while loop
08:23:41midkbut that took forever to keep redrawing
08:24:00midkso we have to just put a blank space around the ball to keep it from leaving trails
08:24:49LinusNwhy clear the entire lcd?
08:25:01midkbut clearing that line is a good idea
08:25:01midk*implements
08:25:09midkthat's just what i usually
08:25:10midkdo
08:25:15midkbut we can't do that here
08:25:26LinusNexactly
08:25:48LinusNhave you given the collision detection any thought?
08:25:57midknot much
08:26:03LinusNyou should
08:26:11midkyes, i think i can do it
08:26:21midkjust divide the areas into "sections"
08:27:04midkbut it'll involve setting up block drawing differently
08:27:34LinusNyou should separate the drawing from the game logic
08:27:48midklogic?
08:28:22LinusNlogic == game engine, i.e collision detection, ball moving, score keeping etc
08:28:27midkyes
08:28:31midkall in seperate functions
08:28:36LinusNthe game should be able to run without any gfx at all
08:28:50midkdraw ball, move ball, draw paddle, move paddle, draw status and draw blocks are all seperate
08:29:08midkit could if i just removed all the drawing functions
08:29:53LinusNi think your game looks really good, but don't concentrate too much on the gfx until you have the game running
08:30:39midkyes.. just have to do collision detection
08:30:44midki've been putting it off for a bit
08:30:47midkbut it's got to be done
08:31:55LinusNit can be made pretty simple
08:32:19LinusNhowever, if you have a space between the bricks, it becomes a little more complicated
08:32:27midkyeah that's what slitsniper said
08:32:31midker
08:32:33midkbluechip
08:32:35midklol
08:33:08midkwe have a space between..
08:33:21midkbut we can just count the space as part of the block it's right of
08:33:43LinusNthat may not look very good
08:33:57midkno?
08:34:02LinusNit will bounce off too early
08:34:20LinusNnot even touching the brick
08:34:25midkoh yeah
08:34:28midkif it hit from the side
08:34:35midki'm so stupid
08:34:52LinusNyes, very ;-)
08:35:03midkhaha linusn here you go you can finish it on up there
08:37:15LinusNhehe
08:37:44midkfeel free to leave yourself out of the credits :)
08:37:49midki insist
08:39:50midkso for this button repeat function it's ok to turn all of the #define's into ints?
08:40:38LinusNshould work
08:40:51midkbluechip said it definitely wouldn't be accepted
08:40:55LinusNi think we could increase the poll rate
08:41:13midkat HZ/35 it begins sticking
08:41:29midkhmm well

08:44:02midkok, in recorders it's hardware?
08:44:06LinusNyes
08:44:25midkok
08:44:43midkhmm i know i'm gonna mess this up lol
08:44:54LinusNpoll frequency should match the A/D conversion frequency
08:45:21LinusNthe button A/D channels are updated every 8 ticks
08:45:46LinusNso poll frequency should be 8 imho
08:46:01midkwouldn't that slow it way down?
08:47:03LinusNit shouldn't
08:47:04midkok i am officially doing this wrong

08:55:58midklinus, done

08:57:00midkok want button.c?
08:57:03LinusNand the poll frequency should be constant
08:57:22midki think faster speeds up button repeats
08:57:56LinusNyes, but increasing the poll frequency will not do what you want
08:58:09midkoh, it seemed to
08:58:12midkok, constant it is
08:58:27LinusNit won't detect the keys faster than the A/D driver

08:58:59midk?
08:59:15dwihnoGood morning everyone! Is it possible to write a driver for "dumb" headphone remotes?
08:59:26dwihnoWithout any hardware mods, that is
08:59:41LinusNit will repeat faster, but it won't detect changes in the key status any faster
08:59:59LinusNdwihno: "dumb"?
09:00
09:00:08midkok, so the only thing we have that will speedup button repeat rates is changing "repeat finish" from 2 to 1?
09:00:18dwihnoLinusN: Well, it has three buttons and no kind of cool stuff at all.
09:01:01LinusNand possibly lowering repeat_start
09:01:15midkok. i have the modified button.c
09:01:21LinusNdwihno: it all depends on what the remote sends and how
09:01:22midki shall send it to you and you can review it
09:01:30midkif it is accepted could you also put the function into the plugin api?
09:01:31LinusNmidk: do so
09:02:20midkwe were also discussing setting a faster or slower repeat rate in the menus for scrolling... but that can be done later
09:02:51midki think a good idea would be "context sensitive" scrolling... longer lists is faster, shorter lists (only a few entries longer than the lcd) would be slower
09:03:05***Alert Mode OFF
09:04:24LinusNmaybe
09:04:31dwihnoLinusN: Well, I don't really know. It used to be for a CD player and is quite basic.
09:04:39dwihnoLinusN: Is there some kind of serial test plugin? :)
09:09:09amiconnLinusN: There was a request "show the last line of wps even it is partial" on the ml some days ago
09:10:34amiconnImo this could be done right away, cause unlike the comment on the ml says the font drawing could support clipping.
09:11:15amiconnThe font drawing uses lcd_bitmap(), which in turn does clipping (it even did before my changes)
09:12:26amiconnThe only thing I don't know (yet) is if the widget drawing (in case the last line is a level meter or progress bar) does also support clipping
09:17:56LinusNno they don't iirc
09:18:33LinusNi and daniel discussed this yesterday
09:18:54LinusNwe agreed upon supporting clipping
09:19:23LinusNfor all graphic primitives
09:21:06midklinus got that email?

09:21:54midkhow's it look?
09:22:03LinusNgood so far
09:22:14midkexcellent.
09:23:13LinusNsince we will export the new function to the plugin api, we probably need some checks on the input

11:49:00[IDC]Dragonscroll by n pixel, yes
11:49:22[IDC]Dragonnow it's ready for arcade games, eh?
11:49:48amiconnYup. This helps the "final" scroll at the to/bottom of the image in your jpeg viewer.
11:49:58amiconn*top/bottom
11:49:58[IDC]DragonI know
11:50:36[IDC]Dragonbut this was a corner case only, the main amazement comes from your change a day ago
11:51:17amiconnAs you may remember, I thought of writing minesweeper some time ago, but didn't find a pleasant way of dealing with large playfields yet.
11:51:38[IDC]Dragonlarger than the screen?
11:52:03amiconnYup.
11:52:44amiconnScrolling doesn't help for getting a quick overview, and without scrolling it is barely possible to fit 8x14 fields.
11:53:10amiconn8x14 is not really a challenge with minesweeper.
11:53:46amiconnBut last week I saw a digger style game on a colleague's cellphone.
11:54:05amiconn(Btw, not in grayscale, but b&w)
11:54:20amiconnNow I think this would be a much more interesting thing...
11:58:27[IDC]Dragonis that a platform game?
12:00
12:00:13amiconnNo. It is a game where you run around a "mine" consisting of blocks, which represent various materials.
12:00:37amiconnThere are sand, rocks, walls, diamonds etc.
12:02:40amiconnYou have to collect the diamonds by digging through the sand. You cannot go through walls, and beware of falling rocks if you take away something below them.
12:03:17amiconnThere are also some ghosts moving around.
12:03:45amiconnIf you have collected enough diamonds, you can go through a gate to the next level.
12:04:40amiconnThe ghost will hunt you as soon as they can escape their caves (because you've opened them)
12:04:57amiconnThey can be killed by letting a rock fall down on them.
12:06:59limbusahh. I played that on my c64 too often.
12:19:15[IDC]DragonI had no C64 but a very exotic machine

18:46:37limbusI suppose you have to head for [IDC]-Dragon
18:47:02Christi-SOh - I have samples. In fact, I was mad enough to generate them by mouth.
18:47:23Christi-SIt's getting them into a voicefont file in a sensible manner that the difficult bit.
18:48:10Christi-SSpecifically the voicefont generation program seems to want mp3s for the voice samples that are supposed to be empty.
18:48:23Christi-SAnd I'm not quite sure what, if anything, I should use.
18:50:24limbusmhmm.
18:56:34amiconnChristi-S: VoiceFont.exe does not require mp3s for empty voice entries.
18:57:51Christi-SI wonder if the compiled version I downloaded is out of date then, because it's definitely complaining at me.
18:58:16Christi-SWhich is kind of annoying, as I'd like to see if I've misnamed any of the real ones.
18:59:46amiconnLatest version on Jörg's homepage is dated 03-Apr-2004; that version definitely works for me.
19:00
19:01:17Christi-SHmm - Weird. I'm using that one too.
19:01:46Christi-SWonder if storing it on a UNIX box has frigged things about or something. I'll try grabbing a new .lang file.
19:03:35amiconnI had a look at the source - it definitely *requires* mp3s for every non-empty voice entry, but not for empty ones.
19:06:16amiconnIt shouldn't stop if it doesn't find a required mp3 - only print an error message and continue
19:08:01*Christi-S goes to poke around in the source.

19:12:54amiconnAhh, I never really had a look at the output - obviously it does look for an mp3 for _any_ entry, even those with an empty "voice:" string.
19:13:15amiconnBut it should continue to build a correct voice file anyway.
19:14:38CtcpIgnored 1 channel CTCP requests in 0 seconds at the last flood
19:14:38*Christi-S nods. Yes, I think so. Just makes it hard to check that I've got all the files I actually need.
19:15:24amiconnI didn't care, since I build the mp3s automatically, with a script that controls tts.
19:16:21*Christi-S nods. It'd only be for manual generation that it would matter, I suppose.
19:16:59amiconnYou'll either have to compare the "xyz not found" messages with a list of empty "voice:" entries, or change the program to silently skip empty entries.
19:18:15*Christi-S nods. Shouldn't be too hard to change the program, assuming it compiles under UNIX (I have no Windows dev. environment.)
19:19:24amiconnIt should, since I tried to compile some of Jörg's tools with gcc/cygwin and it mostly worked.

23:35:21BlueChipevenin' scotty, thanks for all your help yesterday - hopefully that'll be the last change to the DevKit for some time

23:47:49*Christi-S pokes Bluechip. I can send you the original Audacity project file, or a sample of the noise, but I suspect it's not consistant across the entire recording.

23:48:22kaboofaMmm
23:48:30kaboofadoing a XPilot clone for my AP Java final.
23:48:31kaboofa:)
23:52:57Christi-SOn second thoughts, no I can't. It's 188 MB zipped. I suspect the raw wavs aren't going to be much better either.
23:53:10BlueChipas you prefer
23:53:44scott666kaboofa: how was the AP test?
23:54:04Christi-SThanks for the offer though. But with a dialup connection, that's so not happening.
23:54:22BlueChipwel, if you change your mind, the offer stands
23:54:23kaboofascott666: rather easy :)
23:54:41scott666i took the C++ one last year
23:54:45scott666taking java next year
23:54:46scott666heh
23:55:45Christi-SI could probably pop it in the post on a CD, if you're willing to email me your mailing address.
23:57:44BlueChipA kind offer, but unfortunately after a couple or rather unpleasant experiences with giving my details out, I have a "simply don't do it" policy now :(
23:58:34BlueChipperhaps you could do a high-bitrate mp3 of the wavs and send me a short snippet to see whether it would be worth the effort to search further
23:58:42Christi-S*nod* Understood. Thanks for the offer.
