JCPalmer Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I fail on the latest DynamicFloatArray PR. CannonJS has been happening for a while. Is DynamicFloatArray is by framework, or is this just user stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hey! I've just forked the repo and I have no issue compiling the framework. Which version of typescript do you have? I'm using : [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nockawa Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 @JCPalmer I did the DynamicFloatArray class and this is actually a good thing that you reported it because the line shouldn't compile! I don't know why Visual Studio doesn't issue and error, I'm using the latest version of TypeScript. (btw the error is I try to set a property without a setter... I already noticed that it doesn't issue building error, which is kind of scary) I'm going to fix the issue and submit the change, sorry for the inconvenience.

Wingnut Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi guys. http://playground.babylonjs.com/#OORFZ#9 That pg once worked. Now BABYLON.SmartCollection is not a constructor Related issue? (thx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nockawa Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 This class was removed from the library because it wasn't used that much. I was replaced by the class StringDictionary which in TypeScript is generic on the value it old and with a key that must be a string, which let us use an Associative Array of JavaScript, which is the fastest way to create a map/dictionary. I've changed the pg, the only thing you have to replace is .item() by get(). http://playground.babylonjs.com/#OORFZ#11 So the issue is not related, by the way.

Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks for the info and edits, @Nockawa. Unfortunately, it is not working (as best I can tell). No colored rings when the virtual joystick is turned-on. In that PG, the VJ is supposed to turn-on for about 20 secs... then shut off. The VJ IS working for that first 20 seconds, but no colored rings. Thoughts? (thx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nockawa Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't know much about the Virtual Joystick feature, can you tell me what to do to repro the issue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 hehe. Somehow, I knew you were going to say that. Would you be willing to watch a video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53Piiy71lB0 The video uses a virtualJoysticksCamera, which has 2 VJ's. The PG demo above uses just one (no vj cam). We were testing VJ's for controlling an object. Here's a small still-pic, too. http://david.blob.core.windows.net/babylonjs/VJCBabylon.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nockawa Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 if I don't have a touch screen I can't test, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 No, it works fine with mouse/pointer, too... when it is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Did you make the change to the framework? I noticed that VJ source code uses dictionary, too, now. https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/src/Tools/babylon.virtualJoystick.js#L30 Who approved it/merged it? Someone needs to hang for this. Untested PR's? tsk tsk. heh (just having fun) I think this demo from the main BJS website... uses VJ's. I don't see the rings, currently, though. VJ has been an active subject, lately. Davrous could be doing experiments on VJ's at this time. So... you know... I hope we're not colliding with other efforts. I am in no hurry to get this smartCollection issue fixed... except... we are doing experiments on VJ's at this time. The more working playground examples, the better. 20 sec timer is very important... or else the PG editor becomes unusable, because there is another canvas atop the entire screen... called the vjcanvas.... where those cyan and yellow rings get drawn. The vjcanvas COULD be sized/positioned properly to fit the playground render canvas nicely (without covering the editor and html gui)... but we're still working-on how to do that.

Nockawa Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Ok it's working now. I forgot to change _touches.forEach(key, val) instead of _touches.forEach(val).. http://playground.babylonjs.com/#OORFZ#12 Wingnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hey, thankya bud! Well done! YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nockawa Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 By the way, I'm working hard on a new feature to draw 2D Content for BJS, the display of the Virtual Joystick would be able to be done with it and you won't need a separated render. A first version should be available with the 2.4 of BJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yeah, I heard about this from @Deltakosh in some other thread. He sounds excited about it... and, to be frank, I love everything that you do. You are a codin' and inventin' big-dog... I love it. I'm very glad that you are willing to hang-around with us. Don't ever leave, ok? What I heard... is that your new system is going to make text handling... much easier to deal-with. I'm all for that, too. Let's see, wrap the context2D object in a better api, interface it wonderfully with the dynamic 2d buffer that the engine currently uses for displaceMaps/heightMaps... then... um... I have no idea. I'm a dreamer, not a coder/designer. But speculating is great fun. Anyway, sorry for derailing the topic, there, momentarily... and thanks for the excellent fast bug fix, Nockawa! When you launch a thread telling about the new 2D system, I'll be there... probably drooling and wanting to steal all your code/creativity.

Nockawa Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Don't be sorry, that was indeed my mistake, I asked to remove this class, so i'm supposed to be the guy to deal with issues that come from it. I mostly dev in TypeScript and still don't understand very well the resulted code in JS and especially if it's going to silently fail or not. If the PG was in TypeScript, compilation would have been failed and the fix would have been easy to find. The thing to remember is when converting from SmartCollection to StringDictionary is: The key can only be a string the .items() must be replaced by .get() .foreach now takes two args in the function: key, value. before it were only value. Concerning the 2D Engine, yes I'm also pretty excited about it, I spent a lots of hours to ensure the perf and flexibility would be optimal. The first release won't be very stable for complex scenario and there won't be a lot of primitive to deal with, but the whole 2D Engine is good, I spent a lot of time on it. There's a preview doc here: https://github.com/nockawa/Documentation/blob/master/content/overviews/Standard/Using_The_Canvas2D.md It's far from being completed, it's too raw right now, but I'll improve it before submitting the PR. You can also follow the development of the feature here: https://trello.com/b/eKMKhCFc/version-2-4 And yes, don't I plan to run away !

Wingnut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 That... is fantastic. AND... you're a fine docs writer, too! YAY! We're going to have Phaser... as an extension to BJS! Well, it LOOKS powerful enough to be Phaser (a nearby 2D game dev system). Good luck on continued dev, Nockawa. It looks beefy. Thanks for showing us a preview, and for integrating it into the framework. Hopefully, I will be able to speak intelligently about it, someday.

GameMonetize Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yeah definitely a great addition to the framework!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
