Food Force/Meeting Logs6

       <murielgodoi>	Hi

<deepank____> Hi

<murielgodoi> I was reading the Food Force 2 wiki page before our meeting

       <murielgodoi>	so I joined olpc-foodforce2... and was waiting there

       <murielgodoi>	my bad

<murielgodoi> I typed wrong

<deepank____> ok :)

-->| Ankur (i=Anks@221.134.225.63) has joined #olpc-foodforce

<deepank____> did you get my mail earlier in the week?

|<-- Ankur has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<deepank____> I received no replies on it from you that time

<deepank____> Are you there?

=-= YOU are now known as deepank

<Ankur> Hello Muriel

<murielgodoi> heelo

<deepank> Hello Ankur

|<-- Ankur has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<murielgodoi> about python coding

=== ankur is offline.

<murielgodoi> As I was a java developer before coding in python, I'm used to eclipse

|<-- Ankur has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<murielgodoi> due to that I use eclipse for coding

<murielgodoi> some people doesn't like it

<murielgodoi> but i think it is a quite good

<murielgodoi> it has code-complete

<murielgodoi> auto formating

=-= Ankur is now known as Ankur_

|<-- Ankur_ has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<deepank> ok, so pretty useful

<murielgodoi> yep. but it can seems a little bit confusing for new users

<deepank> I started compiling code on command line though ... I will move on to Eclipse in this project later on

-->| Ankur_ (i=Anks@221.134.225.63) has joined #olpc-foodforce

<murielgodoi> you can try it, but you are free to decide the best for you

<murielgodoi> that is not a rule.

|<-- Ankur_ has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<deepank> yes I understand.

<murielgodoi> I agree about the question number 2

<deepank> Ok I will make the changes then

<murielgodoi> using espeak is a very interesting idea for internationalization and save disk space

<murielgodoi> I already tried that on my XO

<murielgodoi> how do you think we can do in order to improve the voice quality?/

<deepank> Ok. I saw it on someone else's XO though. Should I apply for an XO in developer program or should I wait

<deepank> I will have to talk about that with the developers.

<murielgodoi> wait for now... we should have arguments to ask XOs for you,,. and by now we don't have it

<murielgodoi> further, when coding specific code for XO we can do that

<deepank> Yes very true, when we port the game to Xo then only I will require it I think. What is the exact procedure for the application.

<deepank> The GTK development can be done without that.

<murielgodoi> the second link about gobjects seems very instructive and easy to learn

-->| Ankur_ (i=Anks@221.134.225.63) has joined #olpc-foodforce

|<-- Ankur_ has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<murielgodoi> I think in 2 weeks I will finish my master tasks and help you me in the code

|<-- Ankur_ has left freenode (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

<murielgodoi> fix: help you more in the code

<deepank> thats great

<deepank> Did you think about the design of controller.py?

<murielgodoi> you can start by simple methods to listen gui events and change it in them model

<murielgodoi> remember the gui widgets are not coded in GTK

<murielgodoi> are in pgu

<murielgodoi> It is not a good idea mix gtk and pygame in the same code

<deepank> Yes

<murielgodoi> for that reason the pgu library was used

|<-- deepank____ has left freenode (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))

<deepank> I have not gone through the pgu library, googling it

<murielgodoi> It is a simple one to code gui widgets using pygame

<murielgodoi> and allows us create skins for it

<murielgodoi> like as I did for create sugar skin

<deepank> yes

<deepank> So my next task will be to get conversant with pgu library ....

<murielgodoi> yep.. that is a good begin

<murielgodoi> http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Art_wanted

<murielgodoi> I just add food force artwork request there

<deepank> I think till now I am fairly good with python, I got a book from library and have been studying it.

<murielgodoi> great

<deepank> Do you find somethings which you would like to point out in the small code that I sent you earlier.

<murielgodoi> well as long as i read, it seems good. but I didn't performed a deep checking into it

<deepank> ok

<deepank> what about the repository request. Is it still pending

<murielgodoi> yep... I don't know if they understantod me right... I will try to solve that by irc

<deepank> ok. So, what are the major tasks that should be done till the next week.

<murielgodoi> comunicate control.py with view.py (stripped from FoodForce2.py)

<deepank> Yes

<deepank> Any specific information that might prove helpful to us

<murielgodoi> for each control as 'buy' the view should send a messtage to the controller

<murielgodoi> which will be listen for it and perform some method

<murielgodoi> that method will send a message to the model and perform the data

<murielgodoi> data update

<deepank> ok

<murielgodoi> I am still thinking in a way to the player set the quantity what will be bought

<murielgodoi> separate the 3 components in 3 files.py model view control

<murielgodoi> and learn how to send and receive message between them

<murielgodoi> simple messages by now

<deepank> hmm Are there any controls for building and upgrading level of faciilities

<murielgodoi> you can test it by using simple hello worlds

<deepank> right

<murielgodoi> it will be. but there is no gui for that developed in the view

<murielgodoi> checkout the Memorize code can be usefull to see gobjects working in a real aplication

<deepank> So i should concentrate on message passing for now and don't go into the code of gui in pgu folder.

<deepank> Can you give me the link

<murielgodoi> yep

<murielgodoi> http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/memorygame

<deepank> Thanks

<murielgodoi> additionally should be nice you install and try dopewars game... to see who the trade system works

<murielgodoi> s/who/how

<deepank> I will definetely

<murielgodoi> Can you pass the instructions to the others?

<deepank> Yes I will. Actually I forgot to tell you; due to the installation of Wi-Fi in the hostel, Anubhav and Ankur are facing problems

<deepank> They have been in contact with me on the phone.

<deepank> Do you use GTalk or any other IM also.

<murielgodoi> I am not used to. but I can set gtalk up if it help us to better comunicate

<deepank> Ok then we should stick to IRC for now, I don't think gtalk is available in linux yet, though we can always use Pidgin or chat in browser.

<murielgodoi> ok I will set it up

<deepank> So let us meet on next Tuesday same time at olpc-foodforce channel.

<deepank> You will not require to set it up; just install pidgin or use it from mozilla itself.

<murielgodoi> ok at olpc-foodforce :)

<deepank> Good Night then, take care

<murielgodoi> good night, thanks

<murielgodoi> take creayou too

<murielgodoi> take care you too

<murielgodoi> please log the meeting into wiki

<deepank> Yes I will.

<murielgodoi> thanks

<murielgodoi> night, see you
