17:51 | tch | #startmeeting |
17:51 | meeting | Meeting started Fri Jun 20 17:51:07 2014 UTC. The chair is tch. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. |
17:51 | Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #endmeeting | |
17:52 | tch | I will be today's meeting host, who wants to give the initial kick? keep in mind I don't know all the details of your projects, so please include a brief description so I know who I am talking to |
17:54 | aneeshdogra, curiousguy13 puneet_kaur anyone :)? | |
17:54 | curiousguy13 | ok, can i start? |
17:55 | tch | go ahead ! |
17:55 | curiousguy13 | so my name is kunal arora and my project is porting sugar to python3 |
17:55 | this week, i worked more on sugar-build , initially i worked on some osbuild issues but got stuck on a chroot error (which i still can't find solution to) | |
17:56 | then i cloned and ported the broot,osbuild,gwebsockets and plog modules from the site-packages and i am still trying to figure out a way to link my cloned repositories with sugar-build. | |
17:56 | also went through the code of sugar module and made the necessary changes that were visible on first inspection but i haven't tested it yet , so all the non-trivial changes will appear when i start testing it. | |

17:56 | gonzalo_ <gonzalo_!~gonzalo![]() |
|
17:57 | curiousguy13 | what i have been upto until now can be found on my blog kunalarora135.blogspot.com |
17:57 | tch: ^ | |
17:57 | tch | curiousguy13, did you asked walterbender or dnarvaez for help? regarding the chroot |
17:58 | curiousguy13 | i did ask on the mailing list and also e-mailed walter but didn't get a response |
17:58 | prasoon2211_ <prasoon2211_!~prasoon22![]() |
|
17:59 | tch | try pinging dnarvaez (Daniel Narvaez) directly, do you know him? or at least know his email? |
17:59 | curiousguy13 | yeah, i know him. i'll try pinging him. |
18:00 | puneet_kaur | tch, hi |
18:01 | tch | curiousguy13, ok! |
18:01 | native93 <native93!~native![]() |
|
18:01 | tch | curiousguy13, anything you want to add? |
18:01 | curiousguy13 | tch: next week i'll try to resolve the sugar-build issues and continue porting sugar module |
18:02 | and if possible try to increase it's test coverage too | |
18:02 | tch | curiousguy13, I never counted the modules, how many are there? and how many did you ported? :) |
18:03 | curiousguy13 | well, there's mainly sugar-build, sugar and sugar-toolkit some of which do have submodules |
18:03 | until now i have mostly ported sugar-build except a few issues remain | |
18:03 | and this week i also worked on sugar | |
18:04 | tch | curiousguy13, did you try running sugar-build without chroot? (not sure if this helps) |
18:04 | curiousguy13 | tch: how can i do that? |
18:05 | tch | curiousguy13, is in the sugar-build docs, 1 sec will should you how |
18:06 | curiousguy13, http://www.fpaste.org/111568/28755814/ | |
18:06 | just drop that prefs.json file in your sugar-build root dir | |
18:06 | curiousguy13, do it a separate clone, just incase | |
18:06 | gonzalo_ has quit IRC | |
18:07 | curiousguy13 | ok, this might temporarily surpass the problem but i will need a permanent solution |
18:08 | so until i find a solution a can try disabling chroot | |
18:08 | tch | curiousguy13, well, it worth trying :) |
18:08 | curiousguy13, anything else? | |
18:08 | curiousguy13 | tch: yeah thanks :) |
18:09 | nah, i think that's it | |
18:09 | tch | alright! |
18:09 | who wants to step in? | |
18:10 | curiousguy13, thanks for the update btw | |
18:10 | prasoon2211_ | I guess I'll report in |
18:10 | tch | prasoon2211_, please do! |
18:11 | prasoon2211_ | Just a reminder - I'm working on social help |
18:11 | integrating discourse with sugar | |
18:11 | anyway | |
18:11 | this week, I finished adding a login time popup | |
18:11 | to discourse | |
18:11 | (this i disucssed with paul) | |
18:12 | Also, I've cut down on the browse activity to make it lighter for out purposes | |
18:12 | just removing bookmarks | |
18:12 | also, I'm done with the CSS stylings | |
18:12 | nothing much, really | |
18:13 | just made the whole thing a bit more colourful | |
18:13 | then | |
18:13 | next week is the midterm eval so I wanted to deploy the customized version of discourse | |
18:13 | before then | |
18:14 | I have asked the disocurse devs on how do I make a docker image for the customized discourse | |
18:14 | tch | prasoon2211_, sounds good, usually is good to see something before judging :) |
18:14 | prasoon2211_ | here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/c[…]discourse/16683/2 |
18:14 | I'm waiting for the answer | |
18:14 | tch, well, my project was kinda small really | |
18:15 | I'm mostly donw | |
18:15 | I'll need to make some DB migration scripts though | |
18:15 | which I'll work on after midterm eval | |
18:15 | tch | prasoon2211_, what did you decide regarding the integration with Sugar? |
18:15 | prasoon2211_ | A shortcut that opens up into the proper category in discourse |
18:15 | it's working | |
18:16 | I also tried doing some JS injection in the webkit view | |
18:16 | tch | prasoon2211_, and the auth part? you just leave it to the browser? |
18:16 | prasoon2211_ | for registration purposes |
18:16 | yes | |
18:16 | the thing is | |
18:17 | there are total of 6 different auth systems | |
18:17 | which we can use for login with doscourse | |
18:17 | plus | |
18:17 | discourse does not provide auth tokens like fb | |
18:17 | so, I didn't really see the point of makiing it into a webservice | |
18:18 | tch | prasoon2211_, not sure you read my reply, but the webservice only makes sense if you want to integrate things like the journal with discourse |
18:19 | prasoon2211_ | yes I read that |
18:19 | in fact | |
18:19 | I was just typing the same thing as you (integration) | |
18:19 | So, I can't see what we'd like to integrate the social help activity with | |
18:20 | Maybe the write activity? | |
18:20 | but the discourse editor is *so* much better than simple plaintext, so... | |
18:20 | Can't think of any other activity that we'd like to integrate with discourse | |
18:21 | so, I didn't go forward with creating a webservice | |
18:21 | tch | I think it depends on how you designed the usage of discourse within sugar, |
18:21 | prasoon2211_ | exactly |
18:21 | the usage is: press a shorcut and you're launched into discussion about the topic | |
18:22 | no point in connecting other activities in the middle, really | |
18:22 | tch | I can only imagine two cases: |
18:23 | * you are working with actiivity X, then you press the shortcut and you see posts that are related to the activity X | |
18:23 | prasoon2211_ | okay |
18:23 | tch | * this one is kind of blurry, but maybe people can upload thing directly from the journal... but not sure it makes much sense |
18:24 | these are just ideas though, | |
18:24 | something you could discuss with your mentor | |
18:24 | prasoon2211_ | hmm |
18:24 | the second case isn't really clear, as you say | |
18:24 | I guess I'll ask paul then | |
18:24 | oh, one more thing | |
18:25 | do we have a smtp mail server for sugarlabs.org? | |
18:25 | tch | prasoon2211_, I think so, but better ask bernie |
18:25 | prasoon2211_ | okay |
18:26 | discourse will require it for sending mails | |
18:26 | tch | prasoon2211_, if this becomes a blocker, just create a gmal account |
18:26 | for your testing purposes | |
18:26 | prasoon2211_ | I did |
18:26 | tch | ok :) |
18:27 | anything else? | |
18:27 | prasoon2211_ | but, gmail isn't working - it's not letting the application 'log in |
18:27 | and it sends me an email saying 'suspicious log in attempted' | |
18:27 | tch | prasoon2211_, weird, I have used it extensively even with custom python script thats handle smtp |
18:27 | prasoon2211_ | so, I guess I'll change it to some other host |
18:28 | I too have done that before | |
18:28 | tch | prasoon2211_, yeah, don't block |
18:28 | prasoon2211_ | I guess it's because the aws servers are sitting halfway across the owrld |
18:28 | *world | |
18:28 | anyway, I'll look for a solution to this | |
18:28 | tch | prasoon2211_, good! |
18:28 | prasoon2211_ | The next few days I'll be trying to create a docker image of the custom discourse and run it on the EC2 instance |
18:29 | that's it, I guess | |
18:29 | tch | prasoon2211_, that sounds like an interesting blog post ;) |
18:29 | rparra <rparra!~rparra![]() |
|
18:29 | prasoon2211_ | yeah |
18:29 | tch | prasoon2211_, thanks for the updates |
18:29 | who is next :)? | |
18:29 | native93 | I will get in |
18:29 | aneeshdogra | Me/ |
18:29 | ? | |
18:29 | prasoon2211_ | logging off then. good day/night everyone |
18:30 | tch | native93, go ahead! |
18:30 | prasoon2211_ has quit IRC | |
18:30 | tch | prasoon2211_, take care |
18:30 | native93 | yeah... so after the chat channel this week i was supposed to plan out for shared clipboard which was scheduled for the second half of the program |
18:31 | I went through the clipboard codebase ... | |
18:31 | tch | native93, can you give a brief summary of you work :) and your name too! |
18:32 | native93 | ohh.. sure, Nazrul .. |
18:32 | so two things majorly - | |
18:33 | first one was to plan out the sharing of files .. | |
18:33 | well, | |
18:33 | unlike the chat channel I coded .. | |
18:33 | this involves transfer of files and not sure whether it's done somewhere in the codebase .. | |
18:34 | so I thought to discuss it with walter in today's meeting .. | |
18:34 | secondly .. | |
18:34 | the tagging of cb objects .. | |
18:35 | tch | native93, there is a functionality to transfer journal entries between users, |
18:36 | native93, not sure if that is what you meant | |
18:36 | can you define "cb"? | |
18:36 | native93 | tch, yeah .. something similar .. can you give a pointer to it ? |
18:36 | cb - clipboard object .. | |
18:37 | tch | native93, https://github.com/sugarlabs/s[…]l/filetransfer.py |
18:37 | native93 | since the clipboard needs to be universal so only those objects need to be shared which comes from shared activities .. |
18:37 | tch | native93, ah, that makes sense |
18:37 | native93 | so this was the tagging part .. |
18:38 | and yeah .. something related to the code . | |
18:38 | if I want to get current activity .. | |
18:39 | tch | you can do that too, |
18:39 | native93 | I used the function in sugar3.presence.buddy |
18:39 | get_current_activity .. | |
18:39 | tch | how did that work? |
18:39 | native93 | not satisfactory .. |
18:39 | tch | you need it remotely or locally? |
18:39 | aneeshdogra | brb in 2 mins |
18:39 | native93 | locally for now |
18:39 | tch | aneeshdogra, (alright) |
18:40 | native93, ok, 1 sec | |
18:40 | native93 | sure .. |
18:40 | tch | native93, https://github.com/sugarlabs/s[…]be/model/shell.py |
18:42 | native93 | hmm .. got it .. |
18:42 | tch | native93, use get_active_activity |
18:42 | from shell model | |
18:42 | native93 | yeah . thnx .. |
18:42 | so upcoming week | |
18:42 | tch | ie., from jarabe.model.shell import get_model; model = get_model(); model.get_active_activity() |
18:42 | something like that | |
18:43 | native93 | yeah . . just have to replace this with the older one in my code .. |
18:43 | tch | native93, good |
18:43 | native93 | so upcoming week . . I wld start implementing the file tranfer |
18:43 | *transfer | |
18:45 | tch | ok, let Walter know ;) |
18:45 | native93 | yeah .. sure .. I though he would be here today :/ |
18:46 | tch | native93, he was unexpectedly taken by superior obligations hehe |
18:46 | native93, he should be available via email though, | |
18:46 | native93, just spam him ;) | |
18:46 | native93 | tch, :P ... yeah .. I will add another mail to his inbox :) .. |
18:47 | tch | native93, ok, is there anything else? |
18:48 | native93 | tch, this was for the week |
18:48 | except .. discussion with walter :/ | |
18:49 | puneet_kaur | hi tch :) |
18:49 | tch | native93, alright, |
18:49 | aneeshdogra, your turn | |
18:49 | aneeshdogra | tch: Thanks. |
18:50 | rparra | hello tch, put me in the line, please :) |
18:50 | tch | puneet_kaur, hey! |
18:50 | aneeshdogra | So yeah. I had an interesting week :) |
18:50 | tch | alright, aneeshdogra -> puneet_kaur -> rparra |
18:50 | aneeshdogra | Some context first: |
18:50 | Name: Aneesh Dogra | |
18:50 | Project: Enhancements to the Music Keyboard Activity | |
18:50 | tch | sounds fun |
18:51 | aneeshdogra | Yeah it is, trust me :) |
18:51 | Anyway, so this week I worked on adding rhythms to the keyboard | |
18:51 | native93 | tch, also gp94 is traveling .. so wasn't able to make it .. |
18:51 | aneeshdogra | like in TamTamMini activity |
18:51 | seen that? | |
18:52 | So, yeah I added rhythms to the music keyboard now, with a simple UI. | |
18:52 | tch | aneeshdogra, yeah I have an idea |
18:52 | aneeshdogra | You could now accompany your keyboard plays with a beat. |
18:52 | tch | aneeshdogra, I mean, I can imagine |
18:52 | aneeshdogra | tch: The code is constantly uploaded to my pubic fork of the activity on github. |
18:53 | tch | aneeshdogra, cool, like the typical yamaha keybaord |
18:53 | aneeshdogra | I was supposed to have a meeting with Gonzalo and Walter regarding the UI fixes |
18:53 | but they couldn't make it | |
18:53 | tch: yeah exactly :) | |
18:53 | tch: we just made it into a sugar activity man. :) | |
18:53 | loved working on it :D | |
18:53 | tch | haha, nice |
18:54 | what are the top features you are plannig to add? | |
18:54 | aneeshdogra | tch: that's it for the week I guess. I am gonna work on adding percussions, recording, playback and export |
18:54 | tch | thats answers my question |
18:54 | aneeshdogra | so percussions is also gonna be inspired from TamTamMini |
18:55 | and yeah | |
18:55 | networking | |
18:55 | how could i forget the networking | |
18:55 | tch | ok, oh that would be interesting |
18:55 | aneeshdogra | We'd be adding some network features too |
18:55 | Yeah it will be | |
18:55 | tch | chaotic and loudy |
18:55 | aneeshdogra | Students collaborating on music :D |
18:55 | tch | I like it |
18:55 | aneeshdogra | I am sure they'd make it sound better than Justin Bieber :D |
18:55 | No offense :P | |
18:55 | tch | not hard... |
18:56 | aneeshdogra | Definitely. |
18:56 | tch | aneeshdogra, ok, anything else you want to mention? |
18:56 | aneeshdogra | tch: I guess that's it. Short and sweet :) |
18:56 | tch | aneeshdogra, good, thanks for the updates :) |
18:56 | aneeshdogra | tch: Thanks for talking. |
18:57 | tch | puneet_kaur, your turn! |
18:57 | aneeshdogra | I'll stick around to listen more about other projects :) |
18:57 | Thanks for waiting guys :) | |
18:57 | puneet_kaur | Hi, so I worked on cordova cli |
18:58 | got through its code | |
18:58 | oh sorry , should I give a description of prjct first ? | |
18:58 | tch | puneet_kaur, yes please |
18:58 | puneet_kaur | ok |
18:58 | tch | just briefly |
18:58 | puneet_kaur | yeah sure |
18:59 | so the project is adding a cordova container to sugar | |
18:59 | cordova helps us to access all the device features using the web languages | |
18:59 | so basically we code in html,css and js | |
18:59 | and get a native app | |
19:00 | thats what it does | |
19:00 | to get our application working on different platforms | |
19:00 | we design our app keepiing in mind its logic | |
19:00 | and not in a native languages | |
19:01 | the cordova middle layer takes care of the underlying native support | |
19:01 | tch, did u get that ? | |
19:01 | native93 has quit IRC | |
19:01 | tch | puneet_kaur, yes, sounds good ;) |
19:01 | native93 <native93!~native![]() |
|
19:01 | puneet_kaur | cool :-) |
19:01 | tch | puneet_kaur, did you get to run it yet from an XO? |
19:01 | puneet_kaur | not yet |
19:02 | I am still on it cli | |
19:02 | whereby it can convert an html stuff to an xo | |
19:02 | through the cordova commands | |
19:02 | tch | puneet_kaur, oh ok |
19:02 | puneet_kaur | so basically there are various commands of cordova |
19:02 | which makes things easy for us | |
19:02 | like | |
19:03 | if u say create | |
19:03 | it will create a new prj | |
19:03 | and if u say add <platform> | |
19:03 | tch | puneet_kaur, great, and how is your project going? what's done what in the TODO? :) |
19:03 | puneet_kaur | yeah |
19:03 | so build a briidge from cordova to native side | |
19:03 | using apisocket.py | |
19:04 | now currently focussing on cli | |
19:04 | got list,add commands working | |
19:04 | bernie | tch: yes we do |
19:04 | satellit_e has quit IRC | |
19:04 | puneet_kaur | need to make the build command work |
19:04 | bernie | tch: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/smtp |
19:04 | tch: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/email | |
19:05 | tch | bernie, (thanks!) |
19:05 | puneet_kaur | once the build works we shall be able to convert html stuff to .xo |
19:05 | and install | |
19:05 | also | |
19:05 | once this is done | |
19:05 | I need to work upon plugins | |
19:05 | there's a plugman | |
19:06 | which helps and take care of all plugins | |
19:06 | so need to insert our platform to that | |
19:06 | too | |
19:06 | and | |
19:06 | try out | |
19:06 | various plugins | |
19:06 | code up front and back end | |
19:06 | tch | puneet_kaur, I see, lots of fun :) |
19:06 | puneet_kaur | yes :-) |
19:06 | there's a lot to do here | |
19:07 | and best would be | |
19:07 | to commit the changes to the cordova repo | |
19:07 | so that the developers | |
19:07 | can generate .xo from there web apps | |
19:08 | tch | puneet_kaur, +1, and getting your patches there will do great for your oss profile too :) hehe |
19:08 | puneet_kaur | :D |
19:09 | tch | puneet_kaur, alright :), anything else? whats for the next week (specifically)? |
19:09 | puneet_kaur | oh yeah |
19:09 | and I also need to make a schema of the cli code | |
19:09 | Lionel asked for that | |
19:10 | and for next week | |
19:10 | I hope build command should be through | |
19:10 | walterbender | is very late :P |
19:10 | puneet_kaur | hi walterbender ! |
19:10 | native93 has left #sugar-meeting | |
19:11 | tch | walterbender, welcome back :) |
19:11 | walterbender | thx |
19:11 | reads the backlog | |
19:11 | native93 <native93!~native![]() |
|
19:11 | tch | walterbender, I will post the meeting log in the ML after we are done |
19:12 | puneet_kaur, do have you documentation for the work your are doing? (like a blog) | |
19:12 | puneet_kaur | yup |
19:12 | sugarcordova.blogspot.com | |
19:12 | tch | ok, fantastic ;) |
19:13 | puneet_kaur | I need to update it |
19:13 | satellit_e <satellit_e!~satellit![]() |
|
19:13 | puneet_kaur | will be writing a post soon :-) |
19:13 | tch | puneet_kaur, please do! |
19:14 | puneet_kaur | was trying to complete things on cli front |
19:14 | tch, yeah sure :) | |
19:15 | tch | puneet_kaur, ok, thanks for the updates :) |
19:15 | Jade_ <Jade_!~webchat![]() |
|
19:16 | walterbender | hi Jade_ |
19:16 | tch | rparra, go ahead! |
19:16 | walterbender | watched a few of your videos this morning |
19:17 | Jade_ | They have not been edited and I still need to get the fritzing images - |
19:17 | rparra | tch, sure, should I describe my project briefly first? |
19:17 | or straight to the updates? | |
19:18 | tch | rparra, just a brief summary, I already know though ;) |
19:18 | rparra | that's why I asked haha. |
19:19 | Ok, basically I'm defining a method to integrate speech recognition to Sugar Activities | |
19:19 | under the hood, I'm using Pocketsphinx speech recognition engine and gstreamer | |
19:20 | A single Pocketsphinx process is run, and results are sent to interested "clients" (Activities) | |
19:20 | in a very pubsub manner | |
19:20 | results are sent through D-Bus | |
19:21 | what I'm aiming for is allowing Activity developers to add voice based interfaces | |
19:21 | which could be useful for a lot of people | |
19:22 | tch | rparra, great :), so whats new? |
19:23 | rparra | this week, in the first place, I modified the recognizer to consider current user locale to search for models defined by the Activity |
19:23 | now, if there is a model available for your current language it'll be picked by the recognizer code, and passed to Pocketsphinx | |
19:24 | tch | rparra, does it take consideration for localization? |
19:25 | rparra | yes, current language is obtained by calling locale.getlocale(), and it follows some rules of preference |
19:26 | first, it seeks for models for the full language, ie 'es_Es' | |
19:26 | if that's not defined, it searches models for 'es' | |
19:26 | tch | rparra, good, and last one is en? |
19:26 | rparra | if that isn't found, it looks for 'en' models |
19:27 | tch | or goes to the back-end default? |
19:27 | rparra | yes, exactly |
19:27 | tch | ok |
19:27 | rparra | it looks for a local en model, and after that goes to the default models |
19:27 | walterbender | how do app developers use this? |
19:27 | an API yet? | |
19:28 | rparra | yes, actually, I've used it with Maze already (pushing very soon) |
19:28 | I'll upload my fork of the Activity | |
19:28 | and I've also fiddled with FavoritesView, to allow users to run Activities with voice commands | |
19:29 | the last bit is still a bit rough, but I'm working on it | |
19:31 | tch | rparra, nice, something interesting to review today ;) |
19:31 | quidam | rparra: does it need extra libs or changes to the sugar packages? |
19:32 | rparra | walterbender, there is also a (very) simple demo Activity here https://github.com/rparrapy/sugarlistens-livedemo |
19:33 | quidam, it needs Pocketsphinx and some other dependiencies | |
19:34 | tch | rparra, make sure to add the dependencies in the README |
19:35 | rparra | tch, ok I will |
19:35 | tch | rparra, quidam the spirit is to have something plugin-able |
19:35 | quidam | rparra: I have some lag. I meant the web activities stuff |
19:36 | tch | quidam, oh, that is a another topic :) |
19:36 | walterbender | rparra, I will try it. |
19:36 | tch | rparra, I guess you can show these bits later, anything else you want to mention? |
19:38 | rparra | yes, we'll talk very soon |
19:39 | nothing else in particular, I think | |
19:40 | tch | rparra, ok! thanks for the updates |
19:41 | who next? | |
19:41 | Jade_ | I can go |
19:41 | tch | Jade_, hello! please do |
19:42 | Jade_ | I am working on the Hack a Stuffed animal project - where I am building devices that will help kids who have non verbal communication challenges better interact with computers |
19:43 | I have filmed and documented over 3 hours of building the first demo - I am editiing it and adding images and making it much easier to follow | |
19:44 | tch | Jade_, awesome, where are you documenting all this :)? links? |
19:45 | Jade_ | I have it all on my slack folder and I was going to post the website that I created for all the docs |
19:46 | It should be ready by next week | |
19:46 | I am also working on another prototype where I am using conductive paint and kids can use it instead of a mouse | |
19:47 | tch | Jade_, alright, make sure to share that website once its working |
19:48 | Jade_, so, what the TODO for the rest of the project? | |
19:50 | Jade_ | Finish the editing for the video and make another demo of the Conductive Paint Prototype. I am going to demo how kids can use it for Etoys and help with Non verbal communication issues. |
19:51 | I have a meeting with a lady I worked with previously at the NIH to demo it with kids with autism- but she has been out. | |
19:51 | tch | Jade_, I know some people from Teleton foundation that will definitely be interested in seeing this |
19:51 | Jade_ | Awesome! |
19:52 | Please send me the info - I really want to try to find the right software to pair it with | |
19:54 | My email is positiveDeviancy![]() |
|
19:54 | tch | Jade_, I will put you in contact someone I know who works in augmentative communication, with kids from South America |
19:55 | Jade_ | Thank you so much! |
19:55 | tch | Jade_, anything else you want to mention? :) |
19:56 | Jade_ | That is it - Thanks |
19:56 | I have a lot more work to do | |
19:57 | tch | Jade_, thanks for the updates |
19:57 | Anyone else? :) | |
19:57 | martian_ | tch, yes |
19:57 | tch | m_anish, go ahead! |
19:58 | m_anish | ? |
19:58 | martian_ | Hi ! my name is Anubhav |
19:58 | I'm working on Turtle Art 3D | |
19:59 | tch | m_anish, (sorry! typo-completion) |
19:59 | m_anish | tch, np, carry on. |
19:59 | martian_ | i.e. adding 3D drawing capabilities to turtle art |
19:59 | tch | martian_, sounds fun :), using GL? |
20:00 | martian_ | tch, had planned to use it initially |
20:00 | but there were lots of issues with it | |
20:01 | would have entirely disturbed the existing TA which uses cairo | |
20:01 | tch | martian_, ok, what are you using then? |
20:01 | martian_ | so I'm basically writing a simple package to project 3D points to 2D |
20:02 | and use existing drawing functions of TA to draw on the canvas | |
20:02 | walterbender | martian_, BTW, you need to use a different internal name for the pitch block because there is a sensor block with that name (audio pitch) |
20:03 | tch, the idea is to export models to OpenGL | |
20:03 | martian_ | walterbender, i see |
20:03 | walterbender | martian_, that is why the color comes out red |
20:03 | and why it doesn't work correctly :) | |
20:04 | martian_ | walterbender, oh |
20:04 | I'll look | |
20:04 | aneeshdogra has quit IRC | |
20:04 | martian_ | tch, till now, I have added basic blocks using which you can start drawing in 3D |
20:05 | tch | martian_, cool, anything screenshot or videos? or even better code :) |
20:05 | martian_ | such as: setxyz - sets position to (x,y,z) |
20:05 | tch, yes | |
20:06 | link to my repo: | |
20:06 | https://github.com/Anubhav-J/turtleart | |
20:06 | blog: http://anubhavjaiswal.wordpress.com/ | |
20:06 | you can find some screens there | |
20:06 | tch | martian_, looks awesome |
20:06 | martian_ | although it needs updation, sorry for the delay :/ |
20:07 | tch | martian_, next-gen minecraft ;) |
20:07 | martian_ | whats not mentioned in blog is there are rotation blocks |
20:07 | which rotate a point about coordinate axes | |
20:07 | and I have modified forward accordingly | |
20:08 | tch | walterbender, the API is consistent with TAs |
20:08 | martian_, | |
20:08 | walterbender | yes |
20:08 | an extension | |
20:09 | but not a plug in as it needs some changes to how turtles work | |
20:09 | so it is a fork | |
20:09 | tch | walterbender, ok, a good fork :) |
20:09 | walterbender | yes |
20:10 | martian_ | :) |
20:10 | this week, I added some more necessary blocks | |
20:10 | and created some examples | |
20:10 | puneet_kaur has quit IRC | |
20:10 | martian_ | to analyze what do we need further |
20:10 | tch | martian_, would be great if the next post includes a summary of the new blocks |
20:11 | martian_ | tch, sure :) |
20:11 | some more screens: | |
20:11 | http://web.iiit.ac.in/~anubhav.jaiswal/hut.png | |
20:11 | tch | yes, to see the individual effects |
20:11 | martian_ | http://web.iiit.ac.in/~anubhav[…]al/chessboard.png |
20:12 | tch | very cool |
20:13 | martian_ | haha .. i agree :) |
20:13 | rparra has quit IRC | |
20:13 | tch | martian_, are you planing to support textures too? ie., planes with images in 3d |
20:13 | martian_ | tch, yes, it is included in our goals |
20:14 | though i haven't looked into it yet | |
20:14 | tch | martian_, alright, anything else you want to mention? |
20:15 | whats in the immediate TODO? | |
20:15 | walterbender | we'll probably do hidden line only in opengl in the short term |
20:15 | because turtle draws everything as it goes along rather than rendering a database | |
20:16 | but eventually we 'll add the concept of defining objects and rendering | |
20:17 | tch | walterbender, ok |
20:18 | walterbender | anything else for today? |
20:19 | needs to go in 10 minutes | |
20:19 | native93 | tch, just read the backlogs before I joined, didn't know that you were not knowing about the details of the project .. |
20:19 | walterbender | thanks all for the updates |
20:19 | native93 | if you find free time , do read my blog - http://native-93.tumblr.com/ :) |
20:19 | tch | thanks everyone :) |
20:19 | walterbender | and thanks tch for fillinf in for me |
20:19 | tch | native93, thanks, ill check it out |
