macsformeanyone have thoughts on inverting the roaming view tilt keys? ever since we inverted the up/down keys (a good decision IMO), I've felt like the tilt should have been inverted as well21:58
BZNotifybzflag-dependencies: macsforme commented on pull request #11 "Enable building both x86_64 and arm64 architectures on macOS" (https://github.com/BZFlag-Dev/bzflag-dependencies/pull/11#issuecomment-1577538370): For reference, this is the SDL2 build script to create a universal ...22:04
JunkoAkemi[m]How would this differ from the current set-up? Since mainly it would be to see how intuitive each one would be to new users.22:04
macsformelike I said, it would be inverted... so ctrl+up to look up and ctrl+down to look down, just like shift+up moves the camera up and shift+down moves the camera down now22:07
JunkoAkemi[m]^I remember being confused sometimes by this quirk. I think your suggestion would bring much needed consistency to the game. (Especially since the interface is not interacted with the API in this case.)22:12
JunkoAkemi[m]World weapons/server shot API was updated in the case for consistency (removal of custom shot lifetimes). Also since this is a non-playing change (a.k.a. only observers can use this), it doesn't bring any game play impacts.22:16
blast007ironically I ofter now get confused when trying to move the camera up/down in observer mode :)22:19
blast007I don't know if it was somehow more intuitive the way it was reversed before, or if it's just 20 years of muscle memory22:19
