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.

<deepank>	Yes
<murielgodoi>	As I was a java developer before coding in python, I'm used to 
eclipse
<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
<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
<murielgodoi>	I think in 2 weeks I will finish my master tasks and help you me in 
the code
<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>	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
