3d pong updates!

Wade -- can you patch 3d pong to limit the extra-flash you get when losing a point after level 2, and to make it more hackable, with an in-game level editor? That would rock... would be great to have it polished by the weekend to consider for the next build. Sj talk 23:12, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Power activity

No code in git yet (started working on this yesterday and spent most of yesterday learning GTK), but I'm hoping to have an interface Activity stub in a repo today or tomorrow, and then start plugging the back end into the various battery charge indicators. It's not going to require any specialized hardware - the code is going to display the values we're already getting for battery info somewhere (basically making that info transparent) - so you could theoretically plug your XO into the wall outlet, though having some form of variable charge input (adjustable power supply, hand crank...) will make it more exciting. I'll drop you a line when I have code in git; haven't quite gotten the GTK-activity bit working yet. Mchua 09:48, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Terminal merge

Thanks for the response on the merge. I obviously haven't done it yet. Unfortunately, I don't understand the theoretical wiki organization well enough to know what belongs on a Support FAQ page versus a home page. Should one page be complete and the other brief? Right now, it's just kinda a mess of duplication, so I think a merge would be better than nothing.Tdang 06:46, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Colors turns on the camera?

It's kinda creepy that it starts watching you when you run the program. I couldn't find any controls that actually do anything with the camera. (Well, I couldn't find any documentation for the whole thing, either...). I've filed bug #7894 about this. Thanks for writing it.

Also, I noticed that when you click on the palette icon, and the whole screen is full of the color/brush picker, if you click one of the other tabs like Watch or Activity, there's no way out of the color/brush picker any more. You have to go back to the Paint tab to escape from it.

Also, some of the time the word "Activity" in the tab bar wasn't getting painted properly, just the last half of the word was there. Not sure exactly what I did to provoke that.

Eventually I found the "camera" icon under Paint, which makes a bizarre psychedelic colored snapshot. But it wouldn't let me paint on the snapshot, or do anything else with it. I also found a button called "Video Paint" but it seemed to do nothing at all.
