Pretty cool, I guess.

Right now, implementing the Facepunch API is the most work. It's not difficult, but it is time consuming.[/QUOTE]
Nice progress man! Great to see stuff coming out of the API so quickly.
Decided against text menu bars, they don't really seem to fit in with the rest of the layout. Discovered you can receive hotkeys by filttering events at application level as well, which nullifies my other reason for using them. I was thinking of either a silk toolbar like this:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/leAbz.png[/img]
Or just stick with my tabs, like this:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/AMYHG.png[/img]
The toolbar doesn't look quite right, and the tabs feel a little bit clunky. Which would you guys rather use? (informative for toolbar, heart for tabs?)
please don't use silk icons to use silk icons

[QUOTE=Maurice;34435761]I like silk icons :([/QUOTE]
I think he's saying not to use them just for the sake of using silk icons. Use them only when you actually need icons.

So... don't use icons? Use a different icon set? I only put them up for the sake of asking you guys, they just happened to be the closest icons to hand. Do you think a textual menu bar would be better?

I say use silk icons. They may be overused but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. They look professional and appealing.
hah
[editline]28th January 2012[/editline]
if you need to use icons don't immediately turn to silk every single time, there are a large variety of other good looking icon sets out there, sometimes far more appropriate for what you're dealing with in different cases
This is a nice icon set I found recently [url]http://somerandomdude.com/work/iconic/[/url]

[QUOTE=Intel 8080;34432208]You should put a LOCK prefix on the XCHG instruction, otherwise if two cores end up on the XCHG instruction in a decent sync, both will acquire the lock
And you should really put a PAUSE instruction in there too, otherwise it'll be detecting possible memory order violations which slows it down a lot while its checking for them[/QUOTE]
LOCK is not necessary on XCHG

A nice replacement of the silk icons for solid color style themes? Most excellent.
I made an interesting, but horribly slow not really cellular automaton while testing something:

Colors spread to the right and down. Larger areas have precedence of smaller ones, wich is where these rectangular wrinkles come from.

[QUOTE=swift and shift;34437272]LOCK is not necessary on XCHG[/QUOTE]
XCHG is one of the like 30 instructions that LOCKS actually implemented on (most throws an UD), if it was unnecessary, why would they implement it on XCHG?
I'm fairly sure that XCHG does not lock the bus between the read and write
My point about PAUSE still stands though
EDIT: Okey, I re-read the manuals, you're correct about what you said, its kind of stupid though, probably most XCHG's executed will not require a lock, and be slowing the entire processor down when its not required
[quote]If a memory operand is referenced, the processor’s locking protocol is automatically
implemented for the duration of the exchange operation, regardless of the presence
or absence of the LOCK prefix or of the value of the IOPL. (See the LOCK prefix
description in this chapter for more information on the locking protocol.)[/quote]

after small refactors in the api's design, i wrote up a test script which completes the full login process and gives you an access token which can be used for other fun
i'll publish the api updates soon

Your point is somewhat valid, but if you're after great performance, you're not going to be using a spinlock anyway
I have been testing out my udp network layer and can't really think of how I should manage the packets correctly.
I am thinking about just making a server and client version of the packet manager. But I can't decide dsjghurhgowuirhgisfhgjkdsfgh
[QUOTE=swift and shift;34438246]Your point is somewhat valid, but if you're after great performance, you're not going to be using a spinlock anyway[/QUOTE]
If you wanted great performance, you should probably either do something else if the lock is already taken by another thread, or write the code so a lock is not needed
In some cases a spinlock is the best thing to do though

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;34428839]
Sending the userID/username and password hash is effectively unavoidable, one of the side effects of the fact it's a scraping API. If anything, access via the API is more secure than accessing Facepunch normally, since you have the option of SSL.
[/QUOTE]
It would make more sense to use something like OAuth. Since you're providing the API you can take the user's credentials and issue access tokens for external applications to use. It would be more "secure" if the provider were facepunch.com, but it's still safer than letting any application take the credentials and pass on the md5'd hash.

That looks awesome. I have two questions:
What is it written in?
Are you using a library for physics/collision detection, or did you write it yourself?
Also, that's a really nice color scheme

congrats to both of you on your wonderful discussion about performance, because implementing lock/unlocks to lua degrades performance dramatically in any circumstance
Experimenting with terrain generation again:

Well, enough about that. The lock now us used only for setting a var which needs to use a global variable. Oh, I also implemented a Lock function for Lua so you can be sure another Lua state won't be modifying a file while another is.
Locking twice on the same state won't halt either:
[lua]
Lock(function()
Print("This is a test: ")
Lock(function()
Print("Okay\n")
end)
end)
[/lua]
Outputs: This is a test: Okay
