ZehraSome comments and questions on radar mockup and more general/generic notes/observations.00:24
ZehraThe offset crosshair/target/sight/aim/scope being offset would be confusing at least for me.00:25
ZehraWhat does give me some idea/impression, is what if multiple radars were an option?00:26
ZehraSo you could perhaps have 2 small/mid sized radars, but at different zoom levels00:28
ZehraThe other thing, more of a generic note, is what should the radar be precisely?00:30
ZehraSince that would likely determine a lot in terms of how it should appear.00:31

blast007what if we just make the game a turn-based strategy game?01:50
Zehralol, but we'd have a different game then.02:02

SpringTankbzflag chess lol02:30
SpringTankmight make for an interesting game mode.02:30
SpringTankwould be kinda like scorched 3d02:31
Zehra"You've knocked out the rooks with guided missiles"02:31
Zehra"The king was hit by a laser and checkmated".02:31
Zehra:P02:31
ZehraI did actually want to try some form of BZFlag chess, but errr... my map making skills weren't enough, same as code at the time.02:32
Zehra(My map skills aren't good enough for it.) ;)02:32
macsformethe split-screen view would be an optional mode that has to be intentionally selected by those who specifically want it02:42
macsformeI don't see the point in two radars... there are already enough UI elements competing with the 3D view, and competitive players generally prefer a radar view that is as large as possible02:44
macsformeif we ever start targeting mobile devices with touch controls (or even without), screen real estate is going to become even more scarce02:45

blast007A while back someone mentioned that it would be nice to have documentation for out network protocol. FlatBuffers could replace our unpack/pack functions and essentially self-document the network protocol, since you'd define a schema.  https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/flatbuffers_guide_writing_schema.html15:54

AgathaWait, bzflag has a 3D view? I thought the radar screen was all there was   :V19:09
