+real time is + +0:01:47.759,0:01:52.079 +uh what emacs is all about as we're + +0:01:50.079,0:01:53.360 +coding we're constantly making errors + +0:01:52.079,0:01:54.560 +and fixing them and + +0:01:53.360,0:01:56.159 +learning from the kinds of errors that + +0:01:54.560,0:01:57.759 +we make and adjusting the editor to be + +0:01:56.159,0:02:00.719 +easier to use + +0:01:57.759,0:02:02.640 +so today we'll try to build on uh some + +0:02:00.719,0:02:05.600 +of the ideas we introduced yesterday + +0:02:02.640,0:02:07.280 +around how a community can help us learn + +0:02:05.600,0:02:10.479 +emacs faster + +0:02:07.280,0:02:13.040 +and how we can think broadly + +0:02:10.479,0:02:14.160 +about the people in our team when we + +0:02:13.040,0:02:16.080 +decide how + +0:02:14.160,0:02:18.000 +what kind of emacs configuration we're + +0:02:16.080,0:02:19.680 +going to have going for our project + +0:02:18.000,0:02:22.239 +so i'm just going to fire up my normal + +0:02:19.680,0:02:25.440 +emacs config now so that we get + +0:02:22.239,0:02:29.120 +uh hopefully a nice pretty demo or uh + +0:02:25.440,0:02:30.959 +at least some slides and for safety + +0:02:29.120,0:02:33.360 +we're going to avoid the server because + +0:02:30.959,0:02:35.280 +i hate it when it crashes + +0:02:33.360,0:02:37.840 +it's a little less stable under windows + +0:02:35.280,0:02:37.840 +i think + +0:02:41.120,0:02:44.800 +and well uh while this starts up i'll + +0:02:43.360,0:02:47.200 +just briefly introduce + +0:02:44.800,0:02:49.519 +my lifelong friend

+0:03:12.400,0:03:14.879 +i'll drive us through some code parts + +0:03:14.159,0:03:16.239 +but + +0:03:14.879,0:03:18.000 +the hope is that we'll just focus a + +0:03:16.239,0:03:20.000 +little more on the game and if you have + +0:03:18.000,0:03:21.840 +questions about the game at all please + +0:03:20.000,0:03:24.879 +don't hesitate to ask those as well as + +0:03:21.840,0:03:24.879 +your emacs

i'm about as ready as + +0:04:30.320,0:04:35.520 +i get + +0:04:32.560,0:04:37.840 +cool well uh let's begin here welcome to + +0:04:35.520,0:04:40.560 +the dungeon everybody + +0:04:37.840,0:04:40.560 +i'm eric and this + +0:04:41.199,0:04:45.120 +london is that we've been working on for + +0:04:43.199,0:04:48.240 +about a year now + +0:04:45.120,0:04:52.000 +um the dungeon + +0:04:48.240,0:04:54.000 +game is based on + +0:04:52.000,0:04:56.160 +a tradition of gaming that came out of + +0:04:54.000,0:04:57.520 +the university of minnesota back in like + +0:04:56.160,0:05:00.639 +the 1950s + +0:04:57.520,0:05:03.680 +as far as we can tell and it + +0:05:00.639,0:05:05.199 +is a predecessor an ancestor of most of + +0:05:03.680,0:05:07.680 +the commercial role-playing games + +0:05:05.199,0:05:08.720 +that you have heard of or maybe tried + +0:05:07.680,0:05:10.800 +out from + +0:05:08.720,0:05:11.919 +various stores and friends when i have + +0:05:10.800,0:05:14.240 +you + +0:05:11.919,0:05:15.759 +so one of the first things we want to + +0:05:14.240,0:05:17.039 +talk about is what is it that sets + +0:05:15.759,0:05:19.440 +dungeon apart + +0:05:17.039,0:05:20.800 +why is it you know what is it about this + +0:05:19.440,0:05:22.880 +game that makes us want to + +0:05:20.800,0:05:25.039 +continue bringing it forward when there + +0:05:22.880,0:05:26.800 +are so many games + +0:05:25.039,0:05:28.479 +already commercially available that are + +0:05:26.800,0:05:32.400 +descended from it + +0:05:28.479,0:05:36.479 +um dungeon is kind of a + +0:05:32.400,0:05:39.280 +simpler game like we + +0:05:36.479,0:05:40.400 +don't a lot of the mechanics that you + +0:05:39.280,0:05:42.240 +think of about like + +0:05:40.400,0:05:44.560 +what is it that defines your character + +0:05:42.240,0:05:48.080 +stats and skills and attributes + +0:05:44.560,0:05:51.199 +we just don't deal with in dungeon um + +0:05:48.080,0:05:54.720 +but dungeon + +0:05:51.199,0:05:59.560 +the simplicity of it allows it um + +0:05:54.720,0:06:01.840 +to be a view over creativity more than + +0:05:59.560,0:06:04.720 +um + +0:06:01.840,0:06:07.039 +so that's kind of why we like it but + +0:06:04.720,0:06:07.039 +also + +0:06:16.639,0:06:24.000 +so when we look at it as kind of like + +0:06:20.800,0:06:26.880 +uh a technology problem whoops + +0:06:24.000,0:06:27.919 +when we try to hey home uh i'm sorry i + +0:06:26.880,0:06:30.560 +got ahead of us i'll + +0:06:27.919,0:06:30.560 +i'll cut back + +0:06:32.160,0:06:37.600 +i i thought we were doing fine + +0:06:35.520,0:06:40.000 +okay well then i'll i'll just yeah + +0:06:37.600,0:06:40.000 +either way + +0:06:40.319,0:06:46.479 +so we've been friends since um + +0:06:43.360,0:06:49.840 +it was our parents basically + +0:06:46.479,0:06:53.120 +um our parents are friends uh and + +0:06:49.840,0:07:02.479 +we learn this game from our parents + +0:06:53.120,0:07:04.560 +um specifically um + +0:07:02.479,0:07:06.400 +uh yeah that's where that's that's + +0:07:04.560,0:07:09.599 +that's my q in right + +0:07:06.400,0:07:13.759 +so um yeah my my + +0:07:09.599,0:07:15.120 +my folks uh and and eric's folks were + +0:07:13.759,0:07:17.360 +were really tight they used to run + +0:07:15.120,0:07:20.400 +science fiction conventions together + +0:07:17.360,0:07:21.840 +and yeah we our play + +0:07:20.400,0:07:23.520 +featured you know imaginative + +0:07:21.840,0:07:25.360 +role-playing usually we would find ways + +0:07:23.520,0:07:28.639 +to work the computers in + +0:07:25.360,0:07:30.479 +to things and uh uh + +0:07:28.639,0:07:34.160 +i don't i don't know i i hardly have + +0:07:30.479,0:07:34.160 +memories uh that proceed eric + +0:07:35.000,0:07:44.240 +um also it turns out we're both + +0:07:37.840,0:07:47.280 +kind of nervous uh we've been um + +0:07:44.240,0:07:49.039 +back in the early 80s and + +0:07:47.280,0:07:51.360 +for as long as we've been friends + +0:07:49.039,0:07:52.800 +basically we've also been into playing + +0:07:51.360,0:07:55.440 +with computers + +0:07:52.800,0:07:55.840 +um over the years we've worked with many + +0:07:55.440,0:07:59.120 +many + +0:07:55.840,0:07:59.120 +different systems we've played + +0:08:11.360,0:08:17.919 +like um so we + +0:08:14.560,0:08:20.800 +also always thought like + +0:08:17.919,0:08:22.639 +how is it that we can use these cool + +0:08:20.800,0:08:27.840 +computers + +0:08:22.639,0:08:27.840 +to build this dungeons + +0:08:28.319,0:08:35.039 +right that's certainly what we did um + +0:08:32.080,0:08:35.839 +so after some decades of bike shedding + +0:08:35.039,0:08:37.360 +where we saw + +0:08:35.839,0:08:39.039 +really a lot of changes in the + +0:08:37.360,0:08:40.800 +technology field + +0:08:39.039,0:08:42.880 +cell phones were invented smartphones + +0:08:40.800,0:08:44.720 +were invented text messaging in + +0:08:42.880,0:08:47.120 +particular had a dramatic + +0:08:44.720,0:08:48.640 +impact on on what we thought dungeon + +0:08:47.120,0:08:49.519 +would have to be able to do to be more + +0:08:48.640,0:08:54.720 +fun + +0:08:49.519,0:08:58.480 +than scribbling in in graph paper + +0:08:54.720,0:09:01.519 +um yeah either way + +0:08:58.480,0:09:04.399 +we've been using linux since the mid 90s + +0:09:01.519,0:09:06.160 +um i don't remember exactly when i did + +0:09:04.399,0:09:09.279 +my first linux install + +0:09:06.160,0:09:12.560 +but uh i really + +0:09:09.279,0:09:13.279 +liked it from the get-go and um i think + +0:09:12.560,0:09:23.360 +it was + +0:09:13.279,0:09:26.320 +you know um + +0:09:23.360,0:09:28.800 +uh and i'll add i remember the day that + +0:09:26.320,0:09:32.560 +i learned about the formation of gnu + +0:09:28.800,0:09:33.440 +it um it had a life i i mean i read lots + +0:09:32.560,0:09:36.880 +of licenses i + +0:09:33.440,0:09:38.480 +i think a lot of us have written our own + +0:09:36.880,0:09:41.600 +swag license code + +0:09:38.480,0:09:42.800 +and uh i definitely credit the formation + +0:09:41.600,0:09:46.240 +of gnu to my + +0:09:42.800,0:09:46.240 +being interested in thinking about that + +0:09:48.640,0:09:53.040 +right i am working the slides here okay + +0:09:50.720,0:09:55.200 +well um + +0:09:53.040,0:09:56.080 +so yeah this is your turn i already + +0:09:55.200,0:09:58.720 +mentioned uh + +0:09:56.080,0:10:00.399 +jeff yesterday so you're turning to take + +0:09:58.720,0:10:03.519 +it for a few slides + +0:10:00.399,0:10:04.240 +okay well i mean you know along the + +0:10:03.519,0:10:07.200 +learning + +0:10:04.240,0:10:08.560 +linux we started learning the various + +0:10:07.200,0:10:11.680 +tools that were available + +0:10:08.560,0:10:14.000 +through the new free software movement + +0:10:11.680,0:10:14.720 +and um it didn't take very long before + +0:10:14.000,0:10:18.240 +we got + +0:10:14.720,0:10:21.040 +into using emacs um and when we were + +0:10:18.240,0:10:24.000 +working as software developers um back + +0:10:21.040,0:10:25.680 +in the 90s we both were using emacs in + +0:10:24.000,0:10:28.959 +an office environment with + +0:10:25.680,0:10:33.360 +some other developers and it i mean + +0:10:28.959,0:10:33.360 +it was obviously a very powerful + +0:10:40.560,0:10:48.000 +um yeah i'm not going to go on at length + +0:10:43.120,0:10:48.000 +about my love for emacs here so um + +0:10:48.880,0:10:52.480 +so we yeah so we put together a project + +0:10:52.000,0:10:54.240 +and + +0:10:52.480,0:10:56.320 +and each time we rehearse this eric + +0:10:54.240,0:10:58.000 +introduces it with it's my story to tell + +0:10:56.320,0:10:59.360 +but since our flow is already to hell + +0:10:58.000,0:11:00.880 +and we're just having a conversation + +0:10:59.360,0:11:03.920 +with you today + +0:11:00.880,0:11:06.399 +um i'll just jump in and say + +0:11:03.920,0:11:08.160 +from a project standpoint the the + +0:11:06.399,0:11:09.839 +project owes its inception + +0:11:08.160,0:11:12.079 +to a tremendous number of people in + +0:11:09.839,0:11:14.000 +fandom that you know + +0:11:12.079,0:11:15.680 +uh encouraged us to just do crazy + +0:11:14.000,0:11:18.160 +projects and + +0:11:15.680,0:11:18.800 +in this case to our friends that were + +0:11:18.160,0:11:21.360 +hanging out + +0:11:18.800,0:11:22.560 +with us on discord all the time while we + +0:11:21.360,0:11:25.200 +played different games + +0:11:22.560,0:11:26.640 +and uh through that and while i was + +0:11:25.200,0:11:31.839 +fooling with emacs is + +0:11:26.640,0:11:31.839 +generally other people played games uh + +0:11:34.000,0:11:37.200 +kind of the pieces fell into place and + +0:11:35.680,0:11:38.320 +we were all there so we could talk about + +0:11:37.200,0:11:41.040 +it and the idea got + +0:11:38.320,0:11:42.800 +exciting again and we started going back + +0:11:41.040,0:11:44.480 +to all the places that we had + +0:11:42.800,0:11:46.640 +had trouble with it in the past and it + +0:11:44.480,0:11:48.000 +really did seem to add up we built proof + +0:11:46.640,0:11:50.240 +of concepts to do + +0:11:48.000,0:11:51.440 +hard stuff quickly and i guess we'll + +0:11:50.240,0:11:54.320 +probably head into that + +0:11:51.440,0:11:54.320 +that area now + +0:11:54.880,0:11:57.040 +so + +0:12:03.360,0:12:11.839 +and there was a slide about all of + +0:12:06.800,0:12:11.839 +the problems + +0:12:31.360,0:12:37.279 +hey there hey + +0:12:34.959,0:12:38.800 +um yeah go ahead and continue i just got + +0:12:37.279,0:12:40.639 +a phone call i think from leo so i'm + +0:12:38.800,0:12:44.480 +gonna mute + +0:12:40.639,0:12:47.600 +okay so um what we did in + +0:12:44.480,0:12:49.680 +in the project was basically come up + +0:12:47.600,0:12:51.440 +with our minimum play testable candidate + +0:12:49.680,0:12:52.000 +we listed all of the things that we need + +0:12:51.440,0:12:56.240 +to be able + +0:12:52.000,0:12:59.040 +to make the project do in order to + +0:12:56.240,0:12:59.519 +recreate the dungeon experience that we + +0:12:59.040,0:13:01.279 +had + +0:12:59.519,0:13:04.720 +with paper and dice sitting around a + +0:13:01.279,0:13:04.720 +table when we were kids + +0:13:05.600,0:13:07.839 +and + +0:13:09.680,0:13:13.839 +i mean we you know it took a while for + +0:13:12.079,0:13:16.079 +us to kind of + +0:13:13.839,0:13:18.000 +tease apart the problem in a way where + +0:13:16.079,0:13:19.120 +we could actually list out all of the + +0:13:18.000,0:13:20.959 +features like + +0:13:19.120,0:13:23.920 +what are the problems we have to solve + +0:13:20.959,0:13:23.920 +and how do we solve them + +0:13:27.760,0:13:33.040 +so creating any free software any + +0:13:30.959,0:13:36.000 +self-organizing free software project + +0:13:33.040,0:13:37.200 +is is challenging to start with and + +0:13:36.000,0:13:38.480 +we're generally + +0:13:37.200,0:13:40.320 +people with a bunch of other + +0:13:38.480,0:13:40.560 +responsibilities by the time we get to + +0:13:40.320,0:13:44.000 +it + +0:13:40.560,0:13:47.040 +so it's it's not just hey + +0:13:44.000,0:13:47.680 +you know the general herding cats it's + +0:13:47.040,0:13:49.120 +it's + +0:13:47.680,0:13:51.040 +you know trying to make it a part of + +0:13:49.120,0:13:54.399 +your life to + +0:13:51.040,0:13:57.680 +uh that being kind of a + +0:13:54.399,0:14:00.480 +you know challenging battle we we + +0:13:57.680,0:14:02.639 +kind of aligned on some some principles + +0:14:00.480,0:14:04.079 +that we wanted to adhere to + +0:14:02.639,0:14:05.680 +once we started taking the project + +0:14:04.079,0:14:09.519 +seriously + +0:14:05.680,0:14:12.720 +like pre you know particularly + +0:14:09.519,0:14:15.199 +recognizing gnu in specific as we focus + +0:14:12.720,0:14:16.480 +on giving back to the community + +0:14:15.199,0:14:18.240 +taking what we learned as pearl + +0:14:16.480,0:14:22.079 +programmers and + +0:14:18.240,0:14:24.320 +uh you know bringing that spirit forward + +0:14:22.079,0:14:26.399 +into into our work and maybe + +0:14:24.320,0:14:27.120 +specifically support making sure that we + +0:14:26.399,0:14:30.639 +can + +0:14:27.120,0:14:31.760 +um you know write uh functions for the + +0:14:30.639,0:14:35.199 +game + +0:14:31.760,0:14:38.079 +um in pearl if we want to + +0:14:35.199,0:14:40.320 +and then to use the game as a vehicle to + +0:14:38.079,0:14:42.560 +make people look beyond + +0:14:40.320,0:14:42.560 +the + +0:14:43.360,0:14:49.600 +typically open source or sorry typically + +0:14:46.800,0:14:52.160 +uh nominally open source at best + +0:14:49.600,0:14:54.160 +generally pretty closed world of + +0:14:52.160,0:14:55.440 +computer gaming a lot of windows users + +0:14:54.160,0:14:57.519 +out there a lot of free + +0:14:55.440,0:14:59.760 +non-free communication tools and a lot + +0:14:57.519,0:15:01.839 +of uh + +0:14:59.760,0:15:03.360 +you know a lot of ground to cover from a + +0:15:01.839,0:15:05.920 +free software perspective + +0:15:03.360,0:15:07.360 +so what can emacs do from a gaming + +0:15:05.920,0:15:12.160 +standpoint to + +0:15:07.360,0:15:14.880 +to open that up + +0:15:12.160,0:15:16.720 +and not to mention the hubris of the you + +0:15:14.880,0:15:18.399 +know the two of us with a few friends + +0:15:16.720,0:15:19.440 +basically deciding to take on what + +0:15:18.399,0:15:21.839 +amounts to a + +0:15:19.440,0:15:24.720 +huge project um you know we're + +0:15:21.839,0:15:27.839 +essentially a year in now and we haven't + +0:15:24.720,0:15:30.000 +really gotten over halfway to our + +0:15:27.839,0:15:32.880 +minimum playtestable candidate + +0:15:30.000,0:15:34.320 +um it's a it's a work in progress we've + +0:15:32.880,0:15:36.800 +got a long row to go + +0:15:34.320,0:15:38.399 +there's at least 50 items on the things + +0:15:36.800,0:15:40.320 +that we think are critical to + +0:15:38.399,0:15:43.279 +to be able to introduce it to my younger + +0:15:40.320,0:15:43.279 +kids for example + +0:15:44.720,0:15:49.279 +um okay so we're in the accomplishments + +0:15:48.399,0:15:50.959 +section + +0:15:49.279,0:15:52.639 +so we're supposed to be talking about + +0:15:50.959,0:15:55.920 +the things that we have + +0:15:52.639,0:15:58.880 +succeeded in doing in our first year um + +0:15:55.920,0:16:01.199 +we have succeeded in working with data + +0:15:58.880,0:16:04.480 +in org documents using org mode + +0:16:01.199,0:16:05.360 +tables to store the data that we're + +0:16:04.480,0:16:09.279 +going to use + +0:16:05.360,0:16:12.519 +in the various parts of our game + +0:16:09.279,0:16:14.160 +um and we've had a lot of success with + +0:16:12.519,0:16:16.639 +svg.el + +0:16:14.160,0:16:17.279 +uh it started withdrawing maps and we + +0:16:16.639,0:16:19.440 +have + +0:16:17.279,0:16:21.440 +another talk about our mapping + +0:16:19.440,0:16:23.759 +specifically coming up next so we'll + +0:16:21.440,0:16:25.199 +put off some of that discussion for a + +0:16:23.759,0:16:28.720 +separate talk + +0:16:25.199,0:16:32.320 +um but we've also succeeded in + +0:16:28.720,0:16:35.680 +um getting into a bunch of different + +0:16:32.320,0:16:38.160 +elements of the game where uh + +0:16:35.680,0:16:38.959 +we're you know making a lot of progress + +0:16:38.160,0:16:41.920 +using this + +0:16:38.959,0:16:43.759 +drawing engine we developed to also draw + +0:16:41.920,0:16:45.279 +this other thing and also draw this + +0:16:43.759,0:16:46.079 +other thing and also draw this other + +0:16:45.279,0:16:49.519 +thing and it's + +0:16:46.079,0:16:52.560 +um you know we kind of backed into + +0:16:49.519,0:16:54.720 +we've got this aesthetic and we're + +0:16:52.560,0:16:57.839 +using it to draw interfaces for all of + +0:16:54.720,0:16:57.839 +the different parts of the game + +0:17:03.120,0:17:06.959 +so let's talk let's talk a little bit + +0:17:05.600,0:17:10.880 +about what + +0:17:06.959,0:17:13.360 +uh what works now um + +0:17:10.880,0:17:14.640 +first of all there's the mapping part + +0:17:13.360,0:17:18.480 +that eric mentioned + +0:17:14.640,0:17:20.880 +and we'll jump here into um we'll start + +0:17:18.480,0:17:22.160 +opening up some files and looking around + +0:17:20.880,0:17:25.520 +um but then + +0:17:22.160,0:17:26.959 +also later uh we'll we'll fire up an eye + +0:17:25.520,0:17:28.400 +elm and look at some of the + +0:17:26.959,0:17:30.240 +some of the other proofs of concept so + +0:17:28.400,0:17:32.240 +hopefully we can + +0:17:30.240,0:17:34.320 +pivot the second talk more toward the + +0:17:32.240,0:17:35.520 +demos as as we skip some of the + +0:17:34.320,0:17:39.120 +interactive stuff that might be + +0:17:35.520,0:17:39.120 +mentioned in the slides that we go by + +0:17:43.200,0:17:50.080 +so maps + +0:17:46.880,0:17:53.120 +visual battle board um + +0:17:50.080,0:17:54.160 +the battle board i'm just gonna i'm just + +0:17:53.120,0:18:01.840 +gonna skip it eric + +0:17:54.160,0:18:01.840 +we'll hit it in the next one okay + +0:18:02.000,0:18:04.480 +hang on + +0:18:08.480,0:18:11.840 +okay so i'm just going to go ahead and + +0:18:09.919,0:18:13.760 +open up uh maps and + +0:18:11.840,0:18:15.039 +let you talk from the from the svg + +0:18:13.760,0:18:16.480 +process itself + +0:18:15.039,0:18:20.080 +because that's the interesting part to + +0:18:16.480,0:18:20.080 +me that uh to me + +0:18:22.240,0:18:28.640 +okay talk about the svg + +0:18:26.080,0:18:30.640 +process like what what are you thinking + +0:18:28.640,0:18:33.760 +exactly we want to talk about how + +0:18:30.640,0:18:37.919 +we turn our data into an image or + +0:18:33.760,0:18:39.760 +what what are you hoping for yeah so + +0:18:37.919,0:18:41.200 +i mean did you did you want to talk more + +0:18:39.760,0:18:45.679 +from from the + +0:18:41.200,0:18:47.039 +svg the hand-drawn svg graphics at all + +0:18:45.679,0:18:49.760 +i thought we were going to save that + +0:18:47.039,0:18:52.000 +stuff for the passing talk okay + +0:18:49.760,0:18:53.440 +right now if you want yeah i mean so + +0:18:52.000,0:18:56.559 +we've got about + +0:18:53.440,0:18:58.400 +uh 10 minutes before the turn where we + +0:18:56.559,0:19:00.400 +thought we would first take any + +0:18:58.400,0:19:02.320 +questions that are hanging out there + +0:19:00.400,0:19:04.799 +i unfortunately closed the ether pad but + +0:19:02.320,0:19:08.480 +i can open it again real quick + +0:19:04.799,0:19:11.440 +and or you can jump + +0:19:08.480,0:19:12.320 +jump into the to the pathing stuff now + +0:19:11.440,0:19:13.760 +or i can just + +0:19:12.320,0:19:15.440 +throw up an animal and we can start the + +0:19:13.760,0:19:18.880 +demos so + +0:19:15.440,0:19:19.840 +let me invite uh almond or sasha back in + +0:19:18.880,0:19:22.160 +if you guys + +0:19:19.840,0:19:22.960 +or leo if any of you want to join the + +0:19:22.160,0:19:25.840 +conversation + +0:19:22.960,0:19:27.120 +make a suggestion as to how we balance + +0:19:25.840,0:19:29.840 +between the remaining time + +0:19:27.120,0:19:32.480 +the rest of what we have left starts in + +0:19:29.840,0:19:35.120 +on toward the technical so especially + +0:19:32.480,0:19:36.840 +if there would be questions uh questions + +0:19:35.120,0:19:39.840 +about the game right now that would be + +0:19:36.840,0:19:39.840 +awesome + +0:19:40.160,0:19:43.600 +and i'm gonna get seated again + +0:19:48.720,0:19:53.200 +i'm not sure if i talk over the stream + +0:19:51.200,0:19:54.720 +um if you'll hear it because i'm just + +0:19:53.200,0:19:59.520 +watching your stream + +0:19:54.720,0:19:59.520 +but i can try writing an irc um + +0:20:01.200,0:20:07.360 +sure yeah questions would be cool um or + +0:20:04.640,0:20:08.559 +um yeah well eric why don't you just go + +0:20:07.360,0:20:09.120 +ahead and start walking us through the + +0:20:08.559,0:20:11.440 +hand + +0:20:09.120,0:20:12.960 +hand-drawn svg stuff just a little bit + +0:20:11.440,0:20:14.640 +because i think + +0:20:12.960,0:20:17.120 +if that isn't interesting to people we + +0:20:14.640,0:20:21.120 +can just preempt for a question + +0:20:17.120,0:20:24.080 +okay so historically when we + +0:20:21.120,0:20:25.840 +um decided to actually start writing + +0:20:24.080,0:20:26.720 +code one of the very first things we + +0:20:25.840,0:20:30.080 +wanted to do + +0:20:26.720,0:20:31.919 +was the maps because initially it seemed + +0:20:30.080,0:20:33.840 +like the maps were going to be one of + +0:20:31.919,0:20:35.760 +the biggest challenges + +0:20:33.840,0:20:38.000 +in terms of how do we get a text editor + +0:20:35.760,0:20:42.159 +to draw pictures for us + +0:20:38.000,0:20:45.280 +um we pretty quickly decided we wanted + +0:20:42.159,0:20:48.559 +to work with svgs because it allowed us + +0:20:45.280,0:20:52.159 +to leverage the power of emacs as a text + +0:20:48.559,0:20:56.080 +editor and a text manipulator to write + +0:20:52.159,0:20:59.520 +text graphics with the svg format + +0:20:56.080,0:21:01.440 +so we did some svg graphics by hand + +0:20:59.520,0:21:02.640 +we went in and just started hand coding + +0:21:01.440,0:21:05.440 +things that looked + +0:21:02.640,0:21:07.440 +visually like the maps we used to draw + +0:21:05.440,0:21:08.960 +by hand on graph paper when + +0:21:07.440,0:21:11.280 +we were you know sitting around the + +0:21:08.960,0:21:11.280 +table + +0:21:11.360,0:21:17.840 +yep absolutely what emerged from that + +0:21:14.559,0:21:20.400 +is as we started working on um some of + +0:21:17.840,0:21:24.000 +these files this particular image is a + +0:21:20.400,0:21:26.240 +test of some 20 wide water + +0:21:24.000,0:21:28.000 +with some beaches around it and a + +0:21:26.240,0:21:29.679 +special chamber kind of off to the side + +0:21:28.000,0:21:33.760 +called a clapper + +0:21:29.679,0:21:36.559 +and this was the way we would code is by + +0:21:33.760,0:21:37.600 +sketching by hand all of these things to + +0:21:36.559,0:21:39.440 +look right + +0:21:37.600,0:21:42.080 +and then we would take that code and we + +0:21:39.440,0:21:43.919 +noticed um it became real repetitive + +0:21:42.080,0:21:45.440 +as we would go like chunk of water chunk + +0:21:43.919,0:21:46.880 +of water chunk of water + +0:21:45.440,0:21:48.559 +and we're like okay so what we really + +0:21:46.880,0:21:52.000 +need is to define a + +0:21:48.559,0:21:53.600 +set of um we called it tiles um but like + +0:21:52.000,0:21:55.760 +you could think of it as rubber stamps + +0:21:53.600,0:21:57.440 +where we write this graphics code + +0:21:55.760,0:22:00.400 +and then we're able to repeat it in + +0:21:57.440,0:22:03.039 +different places around the map + +0:22:00.400,0:22:06.880 +um you want to flip over to code view + +0:22:03.039,0:22:06.880 +and show that or do we want to move into + +0:22:07.120,0:22:12.720 +tiles code + +0:22:10.240,0:22:14.320 +so you know you can see just really + +0:22:12.720,0:22:15.200 +obviously here the only thing that's + +0:22:14.320,0:22:18.240 +changing from + +0:22:15.200,0:22:21.600 +chunk of water to chunk of water is the + +0:22:18.240,0:22:24.640 +x and y coordinates um + +0:22:21.600,0:22:26.000 +we're you know we can skip getting into + +0:22:24.640,0:22:29.360 +the svg directives + +0:22:26.000,0:22:30.640 +and how all of the path statements + +0:22:29.360,0:22:33.679 +actually work + +0:22:30.640,0:22:36.480 +but you can trust us + +0:22:33.679,0:22:39.039 +all of these d equals and there's m's + +0:22:36.480,0:22:41.039 +and h's and v's that turns out to be + +0:22:39.039,0:22:42.480 +horizontal lines and vertical lines and + +0:22:41.039,0:22:44.159 +cursor moves and it's kind of like + +0:22:42.480,0:22:46.640 +turtle graphics if anyone + +0:22:44.159,0:22:48.720 +remembers that far back and we're + +0:22:46.640,0:22:54.720 +picking up our pen and dropping it and + +0:22:48.720,0:22:56.240 +drawing lines around on our map + +0:22:54.720,0:22:58.000 +so we do have a few questions if you + +0:22:56.240,0:23:01.200 +want to take them now otherwise + +0:22:58.000,0:23:03.120 +um we can also jump in + +0:23:01.200,0:23:04.559 +let's get them while they're fresh okay + +0:23:03.120,0:23:07.520 +sounds good + +0:23:04.559,0:23:08.000 +um so we'll probably shift to question + +0:23:07.520,0:23:10.799 +and answer + +0:23:08.000,0:23:11.919 +mode for up to 15 minutes here so if you + +0:23:10.799,0:23:14.480 +do have questions + +0:23:11.919,0:23:15.679 +um maybe stack rank go ahead and sort + +0:23:14.480,0:23:17.600 +the questions + +0:23:15.679,0:23:18.960 +a little for us or comment on them to + +0:23:17.600,0:23:19.760 +let us know which ones you want to see + +0:23:18.960,0:23:21.280 +us get here + +0:23:19.760,0:23:23.600 +if we start getting a little long-winded + +0:23:21.280,0:23:26.960 +or nudges along we'll take direction + +0:23:23.600,0:23:28.799 +but thanks for your questions um i'd + +0:23:26.960,0:23:30.720 +like to see a demo as well we'll look at + +0:23:28.799,0:23:32.159 +that with the remaining time after this + +0:23:30.720,0:23:35.200 +question block + +0:23:32.159,0:23:38.720 +um more about what the game is + +0:23:35.200,0:23:40.720 +okay sure so let's let's take our + +0:23:38.720,0:23:42.799 +uh one minute each swing at what the + +0:23:40.720,0:23:45.120 +game is you wanna go first i called + +0:23:42.799,0:23:48.840 +weapons + +0:23:45.120,0:23:52.720 +okay um dungeon + +0:23:48.840,0:23:55.440 +is like role-playing games + +0:23:52.720,0:23:56.159 +but you don't really do role-playing + +0:23:55.440,0:23:57.919 +like the + +0:23:56.159,0:23:59.520 +for me the thing the core of being a + +0:23:57.919,0:24:02.080 +role-playing game is you + +0:23:59.520,0:24:03.039 +take on the role of being your character + +0:24:02.080,0:24:06.000 +and you play + +0:24:03.039,0:24:06.400 +your character and dungeon's not like + +0:24:06.000,0:24:10.320 +that + +0:24:06.400,0:24:12.640 +dungeon um you can play + +0:24:10.320,0:24:13.840 +so the dungeon party always has eight + +0:24:12.640,0:24:15.840 +characters in it + +0:24:13.840,0:24:17.679 +there's four in the front row and four + +0:24:15.840,0:24:18.720 +in the back row and you march through + +0:24:17.679,0:24:22.159 +the dungeon + +0:24:18.720,0:24:24.000 +fighting whatever you encounter and if + +0:24:22.159,0:24:25.200 +there's one player you play all eight + +0:24:24.000,0:24:27.120 +characters + +0:24:25.200,0:24:28.720 +and depending on how many players you + +0:24:27.120,0:24:30.799 +have you split up the party + +0:24:28.720,0:24:32.960 +in whatever way seems fair and equitable + +0:24:30.799,0:24:34.880 +to everybody + +0:24:32.960,0:24:36.720 +similarly i said the dungeon is kind of + +0:24:34.880,0:24:38.320 +a simple game like there's only + +0:24:36.720,0:24:40.080 +three races and there's only three + +0:24:38.320,0:24:41.760 +classes all of your characters are + +0:24:40.080,0:24:44.080 +either human elf dwarf + +0:24:41.760,0:24:44.880 +they're all a warrior a priest or a + +0:24:44.080,0:24:46.640 +wizard + +0:24:44.880,0:24:48.320 +and all of these characters have you + +0:24:46.640,0:24:51.279 +know special properties + +0:24:48.320,0:24:53.760 +and special talents that is why they + +0:24:51.279,0:24:56.240 +come together in this party of eight + +0:24:53.760,0:24:57.600 +but essentially dungeon is a game about + +0:24:56.240,0:25:00.000 +making up all of these + +0:24:57.600,0:25:01.679 +um eight characters and stomping through + +0:25:00.000,0:25:03.840 +the dungeon killing things taking their + +0:25:01.679,0:25:05.120 +stuff + +0:25:03.840,0:25:06.960 +well you're way over but i don't know + +0:25:05.120,0:25:10.080 +how much i have to add to that + +0:25:06.960,0:25:14.159 +i will just add that if if you're + +0:25:10.080,0:25:16.559 +uh if if one's passion as a dungeon + +0:25:14.159,0:25:17.120 +master is killing player characters this + +0:25:16.559,0:25:19.600 +game + +0:25:17.120,0:25:21.039 +is meant for you you don't have to build + +0:25:19.600,0:25:22.559 +your game like that + +0:25:21.039,0:25:24.400 +but that's definitely a thing that + +0:25:22.559,0:25:27.360 +people do with this game + +0:25:24.400,0:25:28.960 +um and then as eric said it just + +0:25:27.360,0:25:30.320 +encourages you to put your creativity on + +0:25:28.960,0:25:31.039 +the table to bring all the different + +0:25:30.320,0:25:33.760 +elements + +0:25:31.039,0:25:35.039 +um and this hopefully this may be clear + +0:25:33.760,0:25:36.400 +in our slides since we were a little + +0:25:35.039,0:25:36.960 +fumbling for the first few minutes of + +0:25:36.400,0:25:40.480 +the talk + +0:25:36.960,0:25:41.200 +but um there's also a kind of a player's + +0:25:40.480,0:25:43.760 +guide + +0:25:41.200,0:25:45.919 +that that i started a few years ago um + +0:25:43.760,0:25:48.400 +that's that's not super complete + +0:25:45.919,0:25:50.159 +but um but does cover some of the high + +0:25:48.400,0:25:52.320 +level basics of the game that eric's + +0:25:50.159,0:25:55.679 +been talking from + +0:25:52.320,0:25:56.960 +and i would add that some of the things + +0:25:55.679,0:25:58.480 +you know some of what makes dungeon + +0:25:56.960,0:25:59.360 +great is that there's a lot of mystery + +0:25:58.480,0:26:01.120 +about it + +0:25:59.360,0:26:02.880 +like the player's handbook doesn't tell + +0:26:01.120,0:26:06.080 +you all of the rules + +0:26:02.880,0:26:08.080 +um or like really mystery + +0:26:06.080,0:26:09.679 +and like there's mazes and there's + +0:26:08.080,0:26:12.240 +puzzles and + +0:26:09.679,0:26:12.799 +you have to figure out how things work + +0:26:12.240,0:26:14.559 +and like + +0:26:12.799,0:26:16.640 +we've got all of these treasure items in + +0:26:14.559,0:26:18.480 +there that could help you deal with a + +0:26:16.640,0:26:19.919 +particular monster if it occurs to you + +0:26:18.480,0:26:22.720 +to use it + +0:26:19.919,0:26:23.360 +and um you know like that there's a lot + +0:26:22.720,0:26:25.279 +of + +0:26:23.360,0:26:27.039 +um you don't know what's going on you're + +0:26:25.279,0:26:28.559 +dropped in the middle of this situation + +0:26:27.039,0:26:31.919 +and you have to try and survive + +0:26:28.559,0:26:33.840 +and level up and figure it out and + +0:26:31.919,0:26:35.520 +if you succeed in doing that for long + +0:26:33.840,0:26:37.520 +enough eventually you start realizing + +0:26:35.520,0:26:40.000 +that there are big picture puzzles + +0:26:37.520,0:26:41.760 +that there are you know there is more to + +0:26:40.000,0:26:43.360 +this than just killing things and taking + +0:26:41.760,0:26:46.000 +their stuff + +0:26:43.360,0:26:47.279 +and that's where the joy of designing + +0:26:46.000,0:26:49.679 +these games comes in + +0:26:47.279,0:26:51.679 +for me is like designing the mazes and + +0:26:49.679,0:26:53.200 +designing the puzzles and like + +0:26:51.679,0:26:54.240 +oh yeah and then they're going to come + +0:26:53.200,0:26:55.919 +out of this room and you know what + +0:26:54.240,0:26:58.240 +they're going to do they want to + +0:26:55.919,0:26:59.600 +go that way so i'm going to put the trap + +0:26:58.240,0:27:01.360 +right there + +0:26:59.600,0:27:03.840 +and they'll walk right into it every + +0:27:01.360,0:27:05.440 +time and then when the party does get in + +0:27:03.840,0:27:07.200 +your map and they do exactly what you + +0:27:05.440,0:27:09.279 +thought and they hit the trap it's just + +0:27:07.200,0:27:10.960 +really satisfying to watch the look on + +0:27:09.279,0:27:12.320 +their little faces as they squirm and + +0:27:10.960,0:27:13.760 +struggle to stay alive + +0:27:12.320,0:27:15.520 +yeah that's that's what i was trying to + +0:27:13.760,0:27:16.320 +get at thanks all right that was perfect + +0:27:15.520,0:27:19.200 +for me + +0:27:16.320,0:27:20.320 +all right um so so highlight your + +0:27:19.200,0:27:21.840 +question for me if you think it's + +0:27:20.320,0:27:22.960 +important we grab it here before we jump + +0:27:21.840,0:27:25.039 +into demos + +0:27:22.960,0:27:27.760 +but otherwise i think it's time to try + +0:27:25.039,0:27:27.760 +running some code + +0:27:27.919,0:27:33.840 +what say okay i say do it + +0:27:31.279,0:27:36.480 +okay so you less less camera more more + +0:27:33.840,0:27:39.120 +emacs now + +0:27:36.480,0:27:39.840 +and hopefully i could find the right e + +0:27:39.120,0:27:42.960 +max + +0:27:39.840,0:27:48.799 +the right desktop all right there we are + +0:27:42.960,0:27:54.000 +so we'll try to fire up uh + +0:27:48.799,0:27:58.799 +and right now and i usually like to do + +0:27:54.000,0:27:58.799 +the full path to emax + +0:27:59.120,0:28:03.840 +when i'm gonna run it under minus q + +0:28:07.279,0:28:10.000 +all right + +0:28:13.120,0:28:19.360 +let's have some iom + +0:28:16.720,0:28:20.000 +all right and then i'm also going to do + +0:28:19.360,0:28:24.000 +a + +0:28:20.000,0:28:25.840 +load file on the init script that you + +0:28:24.000,0:28:30.480 +can find in the repository + +0:28:25.840,0:28:33.279 +in the emacs user and it's uh + +0:28:30.480,0:28:33.279 +init scripts + +0:28:34.960,0:28:38.159 +uh users folder + +0:28:40.159,0:28:45.840 +user folder nice + +0:28:48.080,0:28:51.840 +and it's called init dm because that + +0:28:49.919,0:28:55.360 +happened to fit with my naming scheme + +0:28:51.840,0:28:56.320 +potentially terrible all right and with + +0:28:55.360,0:28:58.320 +that loaded + +0:28:56.320,0:29:00.159 +in theory some very basic stuff will + +0:28:58.320,0:29:02.159 +work even without us doing anything in + +0:29:00.159,0:29:04.399 +iom so i think the the last thing eric + +0:29:02.159,0:29:06.000 +was talking about was the svg code + +0:29:04.399,0:29:10.720 +behind the maps + +0:29:06.000,0:29:13.760 +um there as kind of the technical thread + +0:29:10.720,0:29:15.440 +so we'll just fire open the maps pick a + +0:29:13.760,0:29:18.480 +dungeon level + +0:29:15.440,0:29:19.840 +let's pick a pretty one okay if i show + +0:29:18.480,0:29:22.480 +this + +0:29:19.840,0:29:22.480 +yeah whatever + +0:29:23.440,0:29:30.799 +is that the surface yeah + +0:29:27.679,0:29:32.159 +and let's scale it here i think if i + +0:29:30.799,0:29:34.960 +wrap + +0:29:32.159,0:29:36.399 +like once once we got the engine up and + +0:29:34.960,0:29:39.120 +running a little bit + +0:29:36.399,0:29:42.480 +we decided to do some experimentation + +0:29:39.120,0:29:46.080 +about seeing what we could do to push + +0:29:42.480,0:29:49.360 +the limits of our tile + +0:29:46.080,0:29:50.080 +and gender so we more or less on the + +0:29:49.360,0:29:52.799 +surface + +0:29:50.080,0:29:52.799 +map i + +0:29:53.120,0:29:58.399 +basically started with almost no + +0:29:56.399,0:30:00.240 +tiles from below like the water and the + +0:29:58.399,0:30:01.279 +beaches and the general store and the + +0:30:00.240,0:30:03.679 +stairs + +0:30:01.279,0:30:05.200 +were existing tiles but then we were + +0:30:03.679,0:30:07.279 +like this is going to be a surface map + +0:30:05.200,0:30:08.399 +so we're outdoors so i want hills and i + +0:30:07.279,0:30:11.760 +want trees + +0:30:08.399,0:30:12.399 +and i want grass and um it took a little + +0:30:11.760,0:30:15.039 +while + +0:30:12.399,0:30:16.320 +playing with svg to come up with some + +0:30:15.039,0:30:18.480 +acceptable code + +0:30:16.320,0:30:19.840 +but once the like the grass gets tiled + +0:30:18.480,0:30:21.600 +out it + +0:30:19.840,0:30:23.039 +kind of you know gives the illusion of + +0:30:21.600,0:30:24.880 +grass and + +0:30:23.039,0:30:26.399 +you know these are all in my estimation + +0:30:24.880,0:30:28.640 +kind of crude graphics + +0:30:26.399,0:30:30.399 +but we're at the proof of concept stage + +0:30:28.640,0:30:31.679 +and it definitely proves that we can use + +0:30:30.399,0:30:34.640 +our graphics engine + +0:30:31.679,0:30:35.279 +to decide what we want our maps to look + +0:30:34.640,0:30:39.440 +like + +0:30:35.279,0:30:44.240 +and real quickly compose new map tiles + +0:30:39.440,0:30:46.880 +and uh stamp out a bunch of new maps + +0:30:44.240,0:30:48.640 +so now i'll uh show off one of the other + +0:30:46.880,0:30:50.559 +things so the next thing we did once we + +0:30:48.640,0:30:51.919 +once we had the maps doing + +0:30:50.559,0:30:53.600 +and we haven't gotten into the features + +0:30:51.919,0:30:54.960 +of the maps we can we can appoint time + +0:30:53.600,0:30:58.960 +to that or not + +0:30:54.960,0:31:00.720 +but um there are a number of + +0:30:58.960,0:31:02.840 +uh featured features there that we can + +0:31:00.720,0:31:05.760 +look at the + +0:31:02.840,0:31:08.640 +uh we then wanted to + +0:31:05.760,0:31:10.399 +try to see if that could make other + +0:31:08.640,0:31:11.360 +interfaces more appealing so we built + +0:31:10.399,0:31:14.320 +stuff like + +0:31:11.360,0:31:15.919 +oop that's gonna be the map again um + +0:31:14.320,0:31:18.320 +i'll just run it here through i + +0:31:15.919,0:31:20.080 +am so it's more obvious what i'm doing + +0:31:18.320,0:31:21.679 +um + +0:31:20.080,0:31:25.360 +so let's look next to the character + +0:31:21.679,0:31:25.360 +sheet oops + +0:31:26.080,0:31:35.840 +back and alt p doesn't work okay + +0:31:32.880,0:31:38.240 +that's a bummer uh that is not + +0:31:35.840,0:31:40.559 +autoloaded + +0:31:38.240,0:31:41.600 +so this this project is a bit of a mess + +0:31:40.559,0:31:43.120 +right now y'all + +0:31:41.600,0:31:45.120 +it does some stuff that's really + +0:31:43.120,0:31:47.039 +exciting to us but the code is terrible + +0:31:45.120,0:31:48.399 +and we need all the help we can get uh + +0:31:47.039,0:31:49.279 +being told what our problems are and how + +0:31:48.399,0:31:51.360 +to fix them + +0:31:49.279,0:31:52.559 +so that is if you take nothing away from + +0:31:51.360,0:31:54.799 +this talk + +0:31:52.559,0:32:00.480 +uh take away from it that we could use + +0:31:54.799,0:32:02.399 +your help + +0:32:00.480,0:32:04.640 +yeah that doubles back to uh when we + +0:32:02.399,0:32:06.320 +were talking about larry wall's cardinal + +0:32:04.640,0:32:07.440 +virtues of programming like we + +0:32:06.320,0:32:09.760 +definitely + +0:32:07.440,0:32:10.640 +took on some hubris thinking we could do + +0:32:09.760,0:32:13.519 +this + +0:32:10.640,0:32:14.799 +and we might not be wrong but um we + +0:32:13.519,0:32:16.799 +could do it easier with + +0:32:14.799,0:32:18.240 +more hands you know many hands make + +0:32:16.799,0:32:21.760 +light work all right + +0:32:18.240,0:32:23.360 +i'll bite yeah + +0:32:21.760,0:32:24.799 +and the character she won't load for us + +0:32:23.360,0:32:26.960 +today i had some problems with my + +0:32:24.799,0:32:29.360 +version control i had to revert my thing + +0:32:26.960,0:32:31.200 +i threw all my local changes in a stash + +0:32:29.360,0:32:32.080 +and it's it's a terrible mess let's look + +0:32:31.200,0:32:37.519 +at stuff i + +0:32:32.080,0:32:40.559 +tested already today uh before + +0:32:37.519,0:32:43.760 +you got the battle board available + +0:32:40.559,0:32:45.760 +let's find out first we'll load library + +0:32:43.760,0:32:48.000 +it + +0:32:45.760,0:32:57.440 +uh in fact actually your basic require + +0:32:48.000,0:33:00.480 +should work + +0:32:57.440,0:33:02.640 +no uh i can try load library + +0:33:00.480,0:33:03.760 +uh you know what let's forg i'm just + +0:33:02.640,0:33:04.960 +gonna go ahead and give it to you as a + +0:33:03.760,0:33:09.919 +lab beast + +0:33:04.960,0:33:11.600 +since that's probably more fun to watch + +0:33:09.919,0:33:15.919 +we'll take it from my own inet + +0:33:11.600,0:33:15.919 +this is more likely to be healthy + +0:33:16.640,0:33:20.880 +since only some of the time uh first we + +0:33:19.840,0:33:24.799 +have to + +0:33:20.880,0:33:28.559 +uh ctrl x alt i d m + +0:33:24.799,0:33:31.760 +all right and having then loaded + +0:33:28.559,0:33:34.080 +the init control u f9 + +0:33:31.760,0:33:35.200 +should give me the maps and we can + +0:33:34.080,0:33:37.200 +verify + +0:33:35.200,0:33:38.640 +things work in a basic way just by + +0:33:37.200,0:33:41.679 +changing level + +0:33:38.640,0:33:41.679 +let's look at something else + +0:33:43.200,0:33:47.360 +um i mentioned there were a number of + +0:33:46.399,0:33:51.600 +bindings + +0:33:47.360,0:33:54.080 +show them briefly we wrote our own + +0:33:51.600,0:33:56.640 +functions to handle movement some of + +0:33:54.080,0:33:59.679 +those in svg.el the left + +0:33:56.640,0:34:02.640 +uh left and right movements didn't + +0:33:59.679,0:34:03.120 +didn't seem to work quite quite likely + +0:34:02.640,0:34:06.720 +coding + +0:34:03.120,0:34:09.760 +of course + +0:34:06.720,0:34:11.760 +um all right enough + +0:34:09.760,0:34:13.040 +so let's let's see if battleboard works + +0:34:11.760,0:34:15.760 +now + +0:34:13.040,0:34:17.040 +i really thought that was on f7 up + +0:34:15.760,0:34:19.679 +that's the character sheet + +0:34:17.040,0:34:22.159 +sweet that's why you stay out of user + +0:34:19.679,0:34:22.159 +bindings + +0:34:24.879,0:34:33.919 +so that looks a little better + +0:34:28.079,0:34:35.919 +so let's talk about the character sheet + +0:34:33.919,0:34:38.000 +yeah + +0:34:35.919,0:34:39.839 +so the character sheet was our first big + +0:34:38.000,0:34:42.560 +uh repurposing + +0:34:39.839,0:34:44.159 +of the engine that we couldn't do uh the + +0:34:42.560,0:34:49.839 +battle board program + +0:34:44.159,0:34:49.839 +that uh let's see if that runs now too + +0:34:53.599,0:34:57.359 +uh it's not interactive if it does + +0:35:00.880,0:35:03.839 +good + +0:35:04.960,0:35:07.119 +no + +0:35:08.480,0:35:13.040 +try let cemex guess no joy all right i'm + +0:35:11.760,0:35:14.079 +not sure what's up with the battle board + +0:35:13.040,0:35:15.280 +eric + +0:35:14.079,0:35:17.119 +we haven't messed with that one for a + +0:35:15.280,0:35:18.880 +while in fact um + +0:35:17.119,0:35:21.040 +we had discussed using its code as an + +0:35:18.880,0:35:22.640 +example so maybe we'll debug it with you + +0:35:21.040,0:35:25.359 +um i'll certainly check for questions + +0:35:22.640,0:35:28.079 +first um + +0:35:25.359,0:35:31.280 +the uh so the character sheet which is + +0:35:28.079,0:35:34.800 +not scaling ideally here + +0:35:31.280,0:35:34.800 +see if reloading it does anything + +0:35:35.680,0:35:40.960 +nope not as far as i can tell assuming + +0:35:39.440,0:35:42.800 +you don't have this scale implemented + +0:35:40.960,0:35:44.960 +for character sheet + +0:35:42.800,0:35:46.800 +that's right there's everything in scale + +0:35:44.960,0:35:49.599 +it take in order to get what you were + +0:35:46.800,0:35:49.599 +looking at there + +0:35:54.079,0:36:02.240 +all right this uh + +0:35:58.640,0:36:05.440 +this whole thing is hard-coded + +0:36:02.240,0:36:09.040 +basically to the gills except + +0:36:05.440,0:36:10.640 +for things like this this program + +0:36:09.040,0:36:11.040 +represents a re-implementation of the + +0:36:10.640,0:36:14.880 +draw + +0:36:11.040,0:36:18.640 +engine using um all of the same things + +0:36:14.880,0:36:18.640 +let's see that's selected so + +0:36:19.599,0:36:23.119 +uh we'll just try bringing up a map + +0:36:21.680,0:36:26.320 +again + +0:36:23.119,0:36:28.560 +there's one and you'll notice um dm + +0:36:26.320,0:36:29.839 +map doesn't know anything about the new + +0:36:28.560,0:36:31.599 +draw engine + +0:36:29.839,0:36:33.520 +and there are a couple of places where + +0:36:31.599,0:36:36.480 +the new draw engine is still + +0:36:33.520,0:36:37.440 +hooked in to the s for example + +0:36:36.480,0:36:39.680 +particularly + +0:36:37.440,0:36:41.119 +the sizing of the graph paper background + +0:36:39.680,0:36:44.240 +so i've started the work + +0:36:41.119,0:36:47.040 +in dmdraw.el + +0:36:44.240,0:36:47.440 +of trying to show how exactly we did + +0:36:47.040,0:36:50.160 +this + +0:36:47.440,0:36:51.760 +removing the how did we get data out of + +0:36:50.160,0:36:53.280 +org mode that i talked about yesterday + +0:36:51.760,0:36:56.480 +with our etl flows + +0:36:53.280,0:36:58.960 +and just focusing on + +0:36:56.480,0:37:00.160 +how did we solve the problem of + +0:36:58.960,0:37:01.839 +predicated drawing + +0:37:00.160,0:37:05.200 +which i realized we didn't really talk + +0:37:01.839,0:37:07.760 +about so should i jump into that + +0:37:05.200,0:37:09.280 +yeah i guess uh how are we on time we + +0:37:07.760,0:37:11.359 +have time for detours + +0:37:09.280,0:37:12.800 +um yeah it looks like we could spend two + +0:37:11.359,0:37:15.599 +or three minutes on that and then + +0:37:12.800,0:37:17.680 +uh come back for the questions cool do + +0:37:15.599,0:37:20.480 +it + +0:37:17.680,0:37:20.800 +and i'm just gonna peek into my org mode + +0:37:20.480,0:37:23.200 +by + +0:37:20.800,0:37:24.960 +into my chat conference and i don't see + +0:37:23.200,0:37:25.520 +anybody talking to me from the organizer + +0:37:24.960,0:37:26.560 +channel + +0:37:25.520,0:37:28.800 +so i'm going to assume that's a good + +0:37:26.560,0:37:32.079 +guess + +0:37:28.800,0:37:34.160 +um all right so let's let's go ahead and + +0:37:32.079,0:37:37.760 +play with the map a little then that is + +0:37:34.160,0:37:39.440 +uh pretty fun and and uh so much fun + +0:37:37.760,0:37:41.760 +that we had to curtail play sessions in + +0:37:39.440,0:37:44.000 +order to keep working on the project + +0:37:41.760,0:37:44.000 +um + +0:37:45.119,0:37:51.839 +so uh i'll + +0:37:48.480,0:37:55.920 +i'll do the + +0:37:51.839,0:37:59.839 +um we'll try to find something different + +0:37:55.920,0:37:59.839 +from any gif i've shared here right + +0:38:01.040,0:38:05.760 +so here we are in a random go ahead eric + +0:38:03.359,0:38:08.240 +you phil + +0:38:05.760,0:38:10.000 +oh okay so what what what corwin is + +0:38:08.240,0:38:13.359 +doing here is he's about to put the + +0:38:10.000,0:38:16.800 +the map into play mode um + +0:38:13.359,0:38:19.920 +which is going to turn on the fog of war + +0:38:16.800,0:38:23.040 +and then we're gonna use + +0:38:19.920,0:38:24.560 +the fog of war and the the play mode to + +0:38:23.040,0:38:26.240 +kind of reveal the map + +0:38:24.560,0:38:28.160 +one square at a time like we would + +0:38:26.240,0:38:29.920 +during a play session + +0:38:28.160,0:38:31.280 +so we'll just drop the party randomly + +0:38:29.920,0:38:33.839 +somewhere onto this map + +0:38:31.280,0:38:36.079 +looks like we're on alpha maze level + +0:38:33.839,0:38:38.800 +three here + +0:38:36.079,0:38:38.800 +and um + +0:38:40.800,0:38:50.480 +uh-oh then we'll walk around a little + +0:38:46.320,0:38:52.160 +okay there we go we're halfway there + +0:38:50.480,0:38:53.520 +i'll have to i'll have to do a full + +0:38:52.160,0:38:55.920 +redraw + +0:38:53.520,0:38:58.480 +uh the sketch the sketching stuff has + +0:38:55.920,0:39:00.240 +has has broken things here like i said + +0:38:58.480,0:39:01.599 +the two aren't separated once i run them + +0:39:00.240,0:39:03.520 +in the same instance they're not + +0:39:01.599,0:39:05.359 +predictable + +0:39:03.520,0:39:07.040 +okay so let me elaborate here when he + +0:39:05.359,0:39:10.560 +says the sketching stuff + +0:39:07.040,0:39:13.520 +the current um focus of our work is to + +0:39:10.560,0:39:14.320 +turn all of this map stuff we've got + +0:39:13.520,0:39:17.920 +into + +0:39:14.320,0:39:20.880 +a basically a wysiwyg map editor + +0:39:17.920,0:39:22.160 +where we can get into the tiles and + +0:39:20.880,0:39:24.480 +we'll be able to + +0:39:22.160,0:39:26.560 +select the tile and basically rubber + +0:39:24.480,0:39:29.680 +stamp it into a map + +0:39:26.560,0:39:30.000 +graphically and then save the map file + +0:39:29.680,0:39:33.280 +out + +0:39:30.000,0:39:36.720 +and load it back in later so that um + +0:39:33.280,0:39:38.480 +we're able to you know just pound out + +0:39:36.720,0:39:42.000 +these maps real fast + +0:39:38.480,0:39:43.200 +um using a graphical editor rather than + +0:39:42.000,0:39:45.440 +having to hand code + +0:39:43.200,0:39:47.839 +every symbol and every square of the + +0:39:45.440,0:39:47.839 +tables + +0:39:48.000,0:39:51.839 +so the process of doing that um + +0:39:52.960,0:39:56.720 +things are a mess we've got covers off + +0:39:54.800,0:39:58.720 +there's wires hanging out + +0:39:56.720,0:40:01.040 +um different stuff works on different + +0:39:58.720,0:40:01.040 +days + +0:40:03.119,0:40:07.119 +well i will say in our defense this is + +0:40:05.200,0:40:07.520 +exactly why we staged a complicated + +0:40:07.119,0:40:09.680 +thing + +0:40:07.520,0:40:11.119 +and uh probably we should have just gone + +0:40:09.680,0:40:14.160 +with that instead of + +0:40:11.119,0:40:17.760 +trying to give you uh the experience + +0:40:14.160,0:40:19.200 +of of of what it's like uh to use emacs + +0:40:17.760,0:40:21.359 +to do this which is + +0:40:19.200,0:40:23.280 +which is sort of the last minute thought + +0:40:21.359,0:40:25.119 +there and my apologies for that + +0:40:23.280,0:40:27.200 +if that's made it harder to follow the + +0:40:25.119,0:40:28.240 +thread let's check back now for + +0:40:27.200,0:40:30.000 +questions + +0:40:28.240,0:40:32.079 +and see if anybody wants to redirect at + +0:40:30.000,0:40:32.079 +all + +0:40:36.640,0:40:40.800 +so yep this so what you're looking at + +0:40:39.599,0:40:44.880 +all uses prog + +0:40:40.800,0:40:47.760 +pragmatic svg uh + +0:40:44.880,0:40:49.119 +svg generation uh for question number + +0:40:47.760,0:40:52.000 +four there have you played with + +0:40:49.119,0:40:55.119 +generating svgs pragmatically in emacs + +0:40:52.000,0:40:55.680 +that is what the maps are doing um in + +0:40:55.119,0:40:58.480 +terms + +0:40:55.680,0:41:00.400 +of uh uh we should have been maybe more + +0:40:58.480,0:41:01.680 +explicit about that we started hand + +0:41:00.400,0:41:05.119 +coding things and + +0:41:01.680,0:41:06.400 +once we got the idea of what the code + +0:41:05.119,0:41:09.359 +was going to look like + +0:41:06.400,0:41:10.000 +we switched to doing it programmatically + +0:41:09.359,0:41:12.880 +so + +0:41:10.000,0:41:14.640 +um we were going to open up maybe now if + +0:41:12.880,0:41:15.839 +we've got time we can get into the tile + +0:41:14.640,0:41:18.640 +set real quick + +0:41:15.839,0:41:20.560 +sure we definitely didn't do any of the + +0:41:18.640,0:41:23.040 +pathing slides and so now we've skipped + +0:41:20.560,0:41:25.040 +over some stuff we were going to present + +0:41:23.040,0:41:26.880 +yeah that's right we skipped a whole + +0:41:25.040,0:41:28.160 +bunch of slides and i can certainly uh + +0:41:26.880,0:41:30.640 +go back to them they're open here + +0:41:28.160,0:41:30.640 +obviously + +0:41:31.040,0:41:34.480 +um right i was just showing off the + +0:41:33.599,0:41:36.880 +sketching + +0:41:34.480,0:41:38.000 +tool uh briefly in that context but i + +0:41:36.880,0:41:40.000 +think you're right let's + +0:41:38.000,0:41:41.280 +we can jump over to the actually i + +0:41:40.000,0:41:42.000 +should finish with this now having + +0:41:41.280,0:41:45.119 +teased it + +0:41:42.000,0:41:47.119 +so let's do the same thing here ctrl h m + +0:41:45.119,0:41:48.560 +and you'll see in this case there are + +0:41:47.119,0:41:52.160 +very few keyboard + +0:41:48.560,0:41:55.359 +key bindings that are set up um even + +0:41:52.160,0:41:59.280 +this uh shift delete has a tera uh + +0:41:55.359,0:42:02.560 +or shift with uh + +0:41:59.280,0:42:05.680 +yeah control delete it would seem to be + +0:42:02.560,0:42:07.119 +so that has couple obvious bugs with it + +0:42:05.680,0:42:09.280 +right didn't pick it didn't pick up + +0:42:07.119,0:42:11.280 +those control points until i reused them + +0:42:09.280,0:42:13.760 +not clearing that stack + +0:42:11.280,0:42:14.480 +um and also should probably think about + +0:42:13.760,0:42:16.720 +whether + +0:42:14.480,0:42:18.400 +the origin should return and hey marking + +0:42:16.720,0:42:19.839 +that origin would be nice + +0:42:18.400,0:42:21.680 +so there's a tremendous amount to do + +0:42:19.839,0:42:24.400 +here this is just uh + +0:42:21.680,0:42:26.079 +showing that it is possible to use + +0:42:24.400,0:42:31.680 +essentially like a touch input + +0:42:26.079,0:42:35.119 +to um uh + +0:42:31.680,0:42:35.760 +yeah and then also we can switch over to + +0:42:35.119,0:42:39.040 +our place + +0:42:35.760,0:42:43.040 +tool and + +0:42:39.040,0:42:45.040 +um hopefully we can get a nice big menu + +0:42:43.040,0:42:48.000 +of all the tiles that eric prepared for + +0:42:45.040,0:42:48.000 +the game maps + +0:42:49.440,0:42:53.119 +uh that was probably a terrible choice + +0:42:51.680,0:42:55.839 +but there you have just a bit of + +0:42:53.119,0:42:55.839 +corridor right + +0:42:56.800,0:42:59.839 +that looks + +0:43:00.480,0:43:06.160 +uh and even the click yep and this this + +0:43:04.560,0:43:07.280 +glitch action here is the last thing i + +0:43:06.160,0:43:08.079 +was working on before i dropped + +0:43:07.280,0:43:10.079 +everything to + +0:43:08.079,0:43:13.839 +to build the decks that uh we will soon + +0:43:10.079,0:43:13.839 +share for this conference + +0:43:14.240,0:43:18.240 +so okay back to the tile sets + +0:43:19.680,0:43:23.440 +right so the way we approached drawing + +0:43:22.160,0:43:25.200 +it programmatically + +0:43:23.440,0:43:27.280 +is we broke our code up into little + +0:43:25.200,0:43:29.280 +snippets we called tiles + +0:43:27.280,0:43:32.160 +um corman's going to open up the tile + +0:43:29.280,0:43:35.280 +set here basically each tile has a name + +0:43:32.160,0:43:37.920 +and then with that name we place data + +0:43:35.280,0:43:40.640 +into different layers of the image + +0:43:37.920,0:43:41.280 +some of the layers are just svg paths + +0:43:40.640,0:43:44.880 +and + +0:43:41.280,0:43:47.920 +the data is just svg commands + +0:43:44.880,0:43:50.960 +like we saw in that handwritten code and + +0:43:47.920,0:43:54.160 +some of it is compositions of other + +0:43:50.960,0:43:56.160 +tiles so a tile can be made up of other + +0:43:54.160,0:43:58.000 +tiles + +0:43:56.160,0:43:59.599 +furthermore some of these tiles have + +0:43:58.000,0:44:02.319 +conditional code in it + +0:43:59.599,0:44:02.720 +where like some of this stuff is talking + +0:44:02.319,0:44:06.560 +about + +0:44:02.720,0:44:08.079 +elf and bang elf so the map is going to + +0:44:06.560,0:44:09.440 +be drawn differently depending + +0:44:08.079,0:44:11.200 +on whether or not there's elves in the + +0:44:09.440,0:44:16.880 +party + +0:44:11.200,0:44:18.240 +um so and that's the demo they broke + +0:44:16.880,0:44:20.000 +the engine has to make all those + +0:44:18.240,0:44:21.599 +decisions um + +0:44:20.000,0:44:23.280 +and that's what we're calling predicated + +0:44:21.599,0:44:25.200 +drawing oh there's a + +0:44:23.280,0:44:26.480 +special room here do you have any elves + +0:44:25.200,0:44:31.440 +you do so i draw + +0:44:26.480,0:44:31.440 +there is elf's way um + +0:44:32.880,0:44:36.319 +yeah so we built up the set of tiles and + +0:44:35.839,0:44:39.920 +then + +0:44:36.319,0:44:43.760 +um we basically made map files which + +0:44:39.920,0:44:47.839 +take um our map and break it up into xy + +0:44:43.760,0:44:50.240 +grids and then we drop these tiles into + +0:44:47.839,0:44:52.000 +positions on the map so we can use the + +0:44:50.240,0:44:52.480 +same tile square after square after + +0:44:52.000,0:44:54.720 +square + +0:44:52.480,0:44:55.680 +when there's a corridor north south it's + +0:44:54.720,0:44:59.119 +the same tile + +0:44:55.680,0:45:02.400 +over and over again and that makes it + +0:44:59.119,0:45:05.839 +easy to reuse the code and then also + +0:45:02.400,0:45:05.839 +when uh + +0:45:05.920,0:45:10.319 +when we go to present um the + +0:45:10.560,0:45:15.839 +what am i trying to say the the drawing + +0:45:13.520,0:45:18.000 +in in fog of war mode as we move down + +0:45:15.839,0:45:20.640 +the corridor we can just add the + +0:45:18.000,0:45:23.440 +necessary code one bit at a time to the + +0:45:20.640,0:45:24.960 +visible image so that what we're + +0:45:23.440,0:45:27.359 +displaying doesn't contain + +0:45:24.960,0:45:30.160 +any data except what the party has + +0:45:27.359,0:45:30.160 +already discovered + +0:45:30.240,0:45:34.400 +and thus we have kind of spoiler rich + +0:45:32.319,0:45:37.359 +documents sitting on the gm + +0:45:34.400,0:45:38.400 +server and then less you know and + +0:45:37.359,0:45:41.440 +spoiler-free + +0:45:38.400,0:45:44.000 +data that flows down to the org mode uh + +0:45:41.440,0:45:47.040 +files on the player system and the only + +0:45:44.000,0:45:50.160 +real challenge is making sure that the + +0:45:47.040,0:45:50.960 +the nothing that the game does can mess + +0:45:50.160,0:45:54.480 +with the + +0:45:50.960,0:45:55.280 +the the users the the players data file + +0:45:54.480,0:45:57.680 +in case they + +0:45:55.280,0:46:00.160 +might have their own notes and things in + +0:45:57.680,0:46:05.359 +it that that would be the one + +0:46:00.160,0:46:05.359 +uh you know number one thing to avoid + +0:46:06.160,0:46:09.680 +another thing we can talk about here is + +0:46:08.000,0:46:11.839 +that there are layers + +0:46:09.680,0:46:13.520 +you can see this table at the bottom has + +0:46:11.839,0:46:15.119 +tile and overlay + +0:46:13.520,0:46:17.040 +the overlay column is just going to + +0:46:15.119,0:46:20.800 +contain some actual svg + +0:46:17.040,0:46:21.599 +xml style tags um so that's where we can + +0:46:20.800,0:46:25.359 +add whatever + +0:46:21.599,0:46:26.720 +text elements or other svg like raw svg + +0:46:25.359,0:46:28.880 +tags we want + +0:46:26.720,0:46:30.560 +whereas a lot of the other layers are + +0:46:28.880,0:46:32.960 +going to be like path layers we've got + +0:46:30.560,0:46:35.359 +water layers and beach layers + +0:46:32.960,0:46:37.680 +and our plan was to have a style sheet + +0:46:35.359,0:46:38.720 +that defines how each of those layers + +0:46:37.680,0:46:40.720 +are represented + +0:46:38.720,0:46:42.160 +so like when the water gets drawn blue + +0:46:40.720,0:46:45.520 +and it's got arrows on it + +0:46:42.160,0:46:47.680 +giving it direction um all of that + +0:46:45.520,0:46:49.200 +can be customized with a style sheet to + +0:46:47.680,0:46:51.200 +change the water to be + +0:46:49.200,0:46:52.960 +whatever you want and like we have + +0:46:51.200,0:46:54.319 +beaches as yellow but maybe you like + +0:46:52.960,0:46:57.359 +beaches as red or + +0:46:54.319,0:47:01.200 +you know whatever so we also built + +0:46:57.359,0:47:04.079 +some test programs um + +0:47:01.200,0:47:05.359 +and various of the i'm not not sure what + +0:47:04.079,0:47:07.040 +kind of shape we're gonna find these in + +0:47:05.359,0:47:10.640 +but we can try running them + +0:47:07.040,0:47:12.960 +um here for example is just a + +0:47:10.640,0:47:15.119 +very basic all of using a saint using + +0:47:12.960,0:47:18.560 +the same file to define + +0:47:15.119,0:47:24.880 +the tiles and and then + +0:47:18.560,0:47:26.640 +the layout so to speak oh look at that + +0:47:24.880,0:47:28.960 +uh there's the layout okay so that + +0:47:26.640,0:47:30.960 +actually looks fine tile + +0:47:28.960,0:47:32.400 +and it's pat so this is defining a tile + +0:47:30.960,0:47:35.440 +named seas + +0:47:32.400,0:47:38.720 +and uh it's gonna have a list of tiles + +0:47:35.440,0:47:41.839 +defined above um and you'll notice also + +0:47:38.720,0:47:44.559 +that we can just sort of freely define + +0:47:41.839,0:47:46.160 +and redefine and it sort of figures out + +0:47:44.559,0:47:50.839 +oh this must still be part of the b + +0:47:46.160,0:47:53.839 +row um we could also have done + +0:47:50.839,0:47:53.839 +this + +0:48:00.000,0:48:07.839 +okay so this would this would work as + +0:48:02.160,0:48:07.839 +would this + +0:48:08.480,0:48:12.720 +one of uh early on in development when + +0:48:11.599,0:48:14.400 +we were talking about + +0:48:12.720,0:48:15.839 +getting data in and out of these org + +0:48:14.400,0:48:19.440 +tables it + +0:48:15.839,0:48:22.319 +was kind of a priority to us to + +0:48:19.440,0:48:23.040 +leave the way the data is organized open + +0:48:22.319,0:48:26.960 +to + +0:48:23.040,0:48:30.720 +the users and to the dungeon masters so + +0:48:26.960,0:48:32.559 +while we set our tile set apart from our + +0:48:30.720,0:48:35.440 +map sets + +0:48:32.559,0:48:38.319 +this clearly shows that you can cram a + +0:48:35.440,0:48:41.040 +tile set and a map into a single file + +0:48:38.319,0:48:43.040 +so in situations like the surface where + +0:48:41.040,0:48:43.760 +we're using different tiles from other + +0:48:43.040,0:48:46.559 +maps + +0:48:43.760,0:48:48.079 +maybe it makes sense to move you know + +0:48:46.559,0:48:50.559 +those tiles just into the file + +0:48:48.079,0:48:52.400 +with your map or like it's hard for us + +0:48:50.559,0:48:54.319 +to predict how other people are going to + +0:48:52.400,0:48:55.119 +want to use this when they design their + +0:48:54.319,0:48:57.359 +games + +0:48:55.119,0:48:58.160 +so we wanted to leave it as versatile as + +0:48:57.359,0:49:01.599 +possible + +0:48:58.160,0:49:02.640 +about how you can use it where it + +0:49:01.599,0:49:04.319 +matters right + +0:49:02.640,0:49:05.920 +not support every feature in the world i + +0:49:04.319,0:49:07.280 +can't count the number of times i said + +0:49:05.920,0:49:09.200 +eric eric eric + +0:49:07.280,0:49:10.800 +hey if we do it like this people will be + +0:49:09.200,0:49:14.000 +able and he just like + +0:49:10.800,0:49:14.480 +does it have to do that do we do we does + +0:49:14.000,0:49:17.920 +it like + +0:49:14.480,0:49:19.599 +do we need it right away uh + +0:49:17.920,0:49:21.040 +do you have to really rewrite everything + +0:49:19.599,0:49:24.160 +so it can all do that + +0:49:21.040,0:49:26.880 +and uh a lot of those + +0:49:24.160,0:49:28.240 +a lot of those conversations too but the + +0:49:26.880,0:49:31.200 +the key flexibilities + +0:49:28.240,0:49:32.559 +are really there people might want to + +0:49:31.200,0:49:34.160 +use a lot of different files they might + +0:49:32.559,0:49:35.760 +want to lay the tables out however they + +0:49:34.160,0:49:37.440 +want they have to be able to say hey + +0:49:35.760,0:49:39.440 +this is a table that has + +0:49:37.440,0:49:40.720 +data that's controlled by the game and + +0:49:39.440,0:49:44.079 +everything else in the file + +0:49:40.720,0:49:45.920 +is not the game's problem + +0:49:44.079,0:49:47.440 +on our table some of our tables started + +0:49:45.920,0:49:48.960 +getting really wide so we started + +0:49:47.440,0:49:51.119 +striping the tables + +0:49:48.960,0:49:52.640 +where we'll repeat the same table over + +0:49:51.119,0:49:56.400 +and over and over again to + +0:49:52.640,0:49:59.119 +get all of the columns in there without + +0:49:56.400,0:49:59.599 +making it you know a million miles wide + +0:49:59.119,0:50:01.040 +yeah + +0:49:59.599,0:50:02.640 +do you want to should i go ahead and + +0:50:01.040,0:50:06.079 +pull open like a level here + +0:50:02.640,0:50:08.319 +do you think sure just to have shown it + +0:50:06.079,0:50:09.680 +the aisle set's a great example of + +0:50:08.319,0:50:11.119 +striped tables if you + +0:50:09.680,0:50:13.839 +look down like in the level change + +0:50:11.119,0:50:13.839 +feature oh sure + +0:50:18.800,0:50:22.400 +sorry i'm not quite sitting well to my + +0:50:20.240,0:50:27.839 +keyboard here i can just readjust things + +0:50:22.400,0:50:27.839 +real quick + +0:50:30.079,0:50:35.200 +so what you know you can see here + +0:50:33.280,0:50:36.800 +like some of these tables got real wide + +0:50:35.200,0:50:40.559 +when we're stuffing svg + +0:50:36.800,0:50:44.160 +tags into them and what we + +0:50:40.559,0:50:49.359 +oh maybe it's not in these + +0:50:44.160,0:50:49.359 +i thought it was + +0:50:50.079,0:50:54.240 +special probably yeah no there it is + +0:50:52.960,0:50:56.000 +yeah + +0:50:54.240,0:50:58.720 +it was in level change it does the table + +0:50:56.000,0:51:00.640 +can you repeat okay great + +0:50:58.720,0:51:01.920 +up and down so fast i didn't realize so + +0:51:00.640,0:51:05.680 +this first table + +0:51:01.920,0:51:08.800 +we've got path and what is that stairs + +0:51:05.680,0:51:10.079 +so the stairs level is one that draws in + +0:51:08.800,0:51:11.920 +like a pink color + +0:51:10.079,0:51:13.440 +to highlight the places where you can + +0:51:11.920,0:51:15.200 +change level + +0:51:13.440,0:51:17.200 +and then if we scroll down to the second + +0:51:15.200,0:51:19.359 +half of this section + +0:51:17.200,0:51:20.960 +the second table is going to have all of + +0:51:19.359,0:51:22.800 +these same tiles in it but + +0:51:20.960,0:51:24.720 +instead of path and stairs we're going + +0:51:22.800,0:51:27.920 +to have other + +0:51:24.720,0:51:31.200 +columns can we + +0:51:27.920,0:51:31.200 +see the next table + +0:51:31.680,0:51:35.359 +there we go so the same tiles only here + +0:51:33.839,0:51:38.720 +we've got overlay + +0:51:35.359,0:51:40.319 +documentation and behavior and i guess + +0:51:38.720,0:51:41.839 +we haven't talked about this at all the + +0:51:40.319,0:51:44.880 +behavior column + +0:51:41.839,0:51:47.359 +was our concept of a way that we could + +0:51:44.880,0:51:47.359 +attach + +0:51:47.520,0:51:51.359 +functions basically to these different + +0:51:49.680,0:51:54.720 +areas of the map + +0:51:51.359,0:51:57.760 +because sometimes when you enter an area + +0:51:54.720,0:51:59.920 +we want it to do something like + +0:51:57.760,0:52:02.319 +when you enter a stairs down maybe we + +0:51:59.920,0:52:04.559 +want it to change to the next level + +0:52:02.319,0:52:06.160 +and draw the stairs up behind you and + +0:52:04.559,0:52:09.200 +draw you where you are + +0:52:06.160,0:52:11.040 +on the next level so + +0:52:09.200,0:52:12.240 +these are like hooks where we could + +0:52:11.040,0:52:16.400 +attach functions + +0:52:12.240,0:52:18.480 +or you know macros or whatever to + +0:52:16.400,0:52:22.079 +make the map have these behaviors as we + +0:52:18.480,0:52:22.079 +get further towards automation + +0:52:23.440,0:52:30.839 +cool um so that's that + +0:52:26.559,0:52:33.920 +should be pretty close to our time + +0:52:30.839,0:52:36.880 +um questions or just say goodbye + +0:52:33.920,0:52:38.559 +um yeah so there's the i'm sorry we + +0:52:36.880,0:52:40.000 +couldn't show it earlier there is the + +0:52:38.559,0:52:44.240 +battle board + +0:52:40.000,0:52:48.079 +um and so this is used just to keep + +0:52:44.240,0:52:49.319 +track of hit points so with this example + +0:52:48.079,0:52:51.680 +battle board + +0:52:49.319,0:52:53.760 +dmbattleboard.el there's there's a + +0:52:51.680,0:52:57.200 +complete example of not only + +0:52:53.760,0:53:00.480 +in a single file repub filling out the + +0:52:57.200,0:53:00.960 +the cells and the tiles but then coming + +0:53:00.480,0:53:04.640 +in + +0:53:00.960,0:53:05.280 +and keeping the org mode file in sync + +0:53:04.640,0:53:09.040 +with + +0:53:05.280,0:53:12.319 +with clicks so and i can press the star + +0:53:09.040,0:53:15.359 +key and set my damage to -1 and + +0:53:12.319,0:53:16.400 +take the damage back off i just haven't + +0:53:15.359,0:53:18.079 +spent a lot of time + +0:53:16.400,0:53:20.800 +building up fancy bindings for this + +0:53:18.079,0:53:23.119 +you'll also find that the crew + +0:53:20.800,0:53:23.839 +probably find how i figure out what was + +0:53:23.119,0:53:26.880 +clicked on + +0:53:23.839,0:53:28.000 +in the code hard but if i just assign + +0:53:26.880,0:53:32.960 +something recognizable + +0:53:28.000,0:53:32.960 +for damage and then come into + +0:53:33.520,0:53:37.040 +it will now have opened the org mode + +0:53:35.440,0:53:39.680 +file behind the scenes because it's + +0:53:37.040,0:53:39.680 +changing it + +0:53:41.280,0:53:47.599 +and we can then look at that file a + +0:53:44.640,0:53:51.040 +little bit and hopefully + +0:53:47.599,0:53:53.440 +that is un + +0:53:51.040,0:53:55.520 +uh large enough you can kind of see + +0:53:53.440,0:53:59.119 +there's our 17 damage landed + +0:53:55.520,0:54:01.200 +in armor the logic that sits behind that + +0:53:59.119,0:54:06.240 +to figure out the part of the screen + +0:54:01.200,0:54:06.240 +is not necessarily our finest work + +0:54:08.880,0:54:12.319 +uh uh but it but it does work and it's + +0:54:11.839,0:54:14.000 +one for + +0:54:12.319,0:54:15.920 +the stuff was used on the map a little + +0:54:14.000,0:54:17.520 +bit too we didn't really need to show + +0:54:15.920,0:54:19.680 +that in the demo but as you're scrolling + +0:54:17.520,0:54:22.960 +around there's like a highlighter + +0:54:19.680,0:54:24.720 +um that that you know we were drawing on + +0:54:22.960,0:54:26.160 +shaft to show you which square you've + +0:54:24.720,0:54:28.800 +got selected + +0:54:26.160,0:54:29.839 +um because we were having trouble with + +0:54:28.800,0:54:31.280 +that code + +0:54:29.839,0:54:34.160 +initially and we were sometimes + +0:54:31.280,0:54:34.160 +revealing the wrong + +0:54:36.839,0:54:40.480 +okay + +0:54:38.720,0:54:42.160 +and i don't know how we're set for time + +0:54:40.480,0:54:44.400 +but i just saw a message + +0:54:42.160,0:54:46.480 +um from trixie that she could jump on if + +0:54:44.400,0:54:47.920 +we want her oh that would be amazing + +0:54:46.480,0:54:51.520 +yeah go ahead and invite her in i'll + +0:54:47.920,0:54:51.520 +just cut to the scene as soon as she's + +0:54:51.680,0:54:56.799 +i in uh yeah so we're reaching the ask + +0:54:56.160,0:54:58.960 +me any + +0:54:56.799,0:55:01.200 +anything uh portion of the program here + +0:54:58.960,0:55:02.559 +with what uh with what time we have left + +0:55:01.200,0:55:05.200 +for your questions + +0:55:02.559,0:55:06.160 +um please correct me if we're still like + +0:55:05.200,0:55:08.799 +10 minutes + +0:55:06.160,0:55:10.000 +you know if we're if we're more than + +0:55:08.799,0:55:12.640 +like + +0:55:10.000,0:55:13.760 +15 to 20 minutes from our time but i i + +0:55:12.640,0:55:16.640 +suspect we've less weight + +0:55:13.760,0:55:17.440 +left way less than that and out of + +0:55:16.640,0:55:21.839 +respect for + +0:55:17.440,0:55:21.839 +all the other presenters um + +0:55:24.319,0:55:30.640 +oh i don't want to close that actually + +0:55:28.720,0:55:32.839 +i think i may have found an old version + +0:55:30.640,0:55:35.200 +of my slides that could have some good + +0:55:32.839,0:55:36.799 +stuff + +0:55:35.200,0:55:38.799 +it's been an event for a couple of weeks + +0:55:36.799,0:55:41.359 +here i had a break in and uh + +0:55:38.799,0:55:43.599 +my somebody got into our bank accounts + +0:55:41.359,0:55:46.880 +and + +0:55:43.599,0:55:50.079 +nasty business just a lot going on over + +0:55:46.880,0:55:50.079 +over this whole year i think + +0:55:50.720,0:55:53.839 +do we have more questions to shag or + +0:55:53.040,0:55:56.960 +where + +0:55:53.839,0:55:58.799 +sure so i think + +0:55:56.960,0:56:01.040 +there was at least one we deferred a + +0:55:58.799,0:56:03.839 +little bit uh what the game + +0:56:01.040,0:56:03.839 +is + +0:56:05.040,0:56:08.400 +uh always eight characters that can be + +0:56:06.799,0:56:10.000 +divided right that's so always eight + +0:56:08.400,0:56:12.160 +characters that can be divided between + +0:56:10.000,0:56:14.319 +the party is the classic formula + +0:56:12.160,0:56:16.240 +it actually works pretty well for a + +0:56:14.319,0:56:17.760 +conversational group remember that + +0:56:16.240,0:56:18.480 +role-playing games are about talking to + +0:56:17.760,0:56:20.000 +each other + +0:56:18.480,0:56:22.079 +and being good at them is about taking + +0:56:20.000,0:56:23.200 +excellent notes so + +0:56:22.079,0:56:24.559 +when you're sitting around with a group + +0:56:23.200,0:56:25.920 +of people and you're going to have to + +0:56:24.559,0:56:26.880 +wait for them while they dig through + +0:56:25.920,0:56:28.720 +their notes + +0:56:26.880,0:56:30.319 +and listen to all of the things they + +0:56:28.720,0:56:32.240 +find interesting to say + +0:56:30.319,0:56:34.160 +and try to reach an imaginative place + +0:56:32.240,0:56:36.160 +that you can stay together + +0:56:34.160,0:56:38.319 +while you're doing all that and working + +0:56:36.160,0:56:40.880 +in dice and remembering the rules + +0:56:38.319,0:56:43.200 +it's actually a complicated activity i + +0:56:40.880,0:56:46.240 +liken it more to a bridge game + +0:56:43.200,0:56:48.960 +than to like uh + +0:56:46.240,0:56:51.359 +you know parcheesi or perhaps even like + +0:56:48.960,0:56:52.160 +risk or access and allies or other games + +0:56:51.359,0:56:54.319 +that + +0:56:52.160,0:56:56.160 +have have definitely the strategy to + +0:56:54.319,0:56:59.839 +them but + +0:56:56.160,0:56:59.839 +i don't eric your thoughts + +0:57:00.160,0:57:06.640 +yeah i mean i think that's fair um + +0:57:03.920,0:57:08.160 +you know yes definitely the the + +0:57:06.640,0:57:09.440 +tradition is to always have eight + +0:57:08.160,0:57:12.079 +characters in the party + +0:57:09.440,0:57:13.760 +and you know one of the great things + +0:57:12.079,0:57:15.200 +about dungeon is that everybody who + +0:57:13.760,0:57:18.000 +writes their own dungeon + +0:57:15.200,0:57:19.440 +gets to write their own rules and is + +0:57:18.000,0:57:21.760 +free to change whatever + +0:57:19.440,0:57:22.720 +you want and that being said i've + +0:57:21.760,0:57:25.839 +certainly seen + +0:57:22.720,0:57:28.079 +people try to take on challenging that + +0:57:25.839,0:57:30.640 +always eight characters in a party + +0:57:28.079,0:57:32.640 +thing um i've seen people take + +0:57:30.640,0:57:34.640 +approaches like every player gets two + +0:57:32.640,0:57:36.319 +characters and then you can have a party + +0:57:34.640,0:57:38.079 +ranging from two to ten + +0:57:36.319,0:57:40.000 +or there's always going to be ten or + +0:57:38.079,0:57:43.200 +there's you know this or that or people + +0:57:40.000,0:57:45.280 +have um tried stuff and none of it has + +0:57:43.200,0:57:45.839 +really worked out very satisfactorily we + +0:57:45.280,0:57:48.319 +always + +0:57:45.839,0:57:49.680 +seem to keep coming back to our um party + +0:57:48.319,0:57:54.160 +of eight + +0:57:49.680,0:57:55.839 +yeah it's i i i i it's one of the things + +0:57:54.160,0:57:57.359 +dungeon that you can't change when you + +0:57:55.839,0:57:58.720 +write your own dungeon + +0:57:57.359,0:58:00.960 +and that's the reason it's so + +0:57:58.720,0:58:03.119 +complicated as a as a software + +0:58:00.960,0:58:04.559 +project why it's taken us decades + +0:58:03.119,0:58:08.000 +because + +0:58:04.559,0:58:11.280 +trying to model the data for example or + +0:58:08.000,0:58:14.160 +really any attempt to + +0:58:11.280,0:58:15.680 +quantify it in specific terms always + +0:58:14.160,0:58:18.880 +falls to examples + +0:58:15.680,0:58:22.079 +well you know dungeons usually have + +0:58:18.880,0:58:25.280 +elves dwarves and humans they have uh + +0:58:22.079,0:58:27.599 +priests wizards and warriors uh they + +0:58:25.280,0:58:30.000 +have eight characters in the party + +0:58:27.599,0:58:31.680 +the bell rocks are particularly nasty + +0:58:30.000,0:58:35.119 +and live in a room of some + +0:58:31.680,0:58:38.319 +specific shape um spoilers + +0:58:35.119,0:58:39.520 +uh right and we don't tell you the rules + +0:58:38.319,0:58:40.960 +and that's what you know + +0:58:39.520,0:58:42.640 +and you sit down at the table and you + +0:58:40.960,0:58:44.480 +say what's your character name and + +0:58:42.640,0:58:48.400 +what's your special power + +0:58:44.480,0:58:51.599 +and and then i say uh i + +0:58:48.400,0:58:53.839 +i i'm zelda and uh + +0:58:51.599,0:58:56.000 +i i have this bridge that i can put down + +0:58:53.839,0:58:59.040 +that always gets me across the river + +0:58:56.000,0:58:59.359 +um so let's touch on special power real + +0:58:59.040,0:59:01.119 +quick + +0:58:59.359,0:59:03.280 +since that's one of the things that is + +0:59:01.119,0:59:06.160 +kind of unique to dungeon + +0:59:03.280,0:59:06.720 +and one of the things that is the + +0:59:06.160,0:59:08.960 +biggest + +0:59:06.720,0:59:10.240 +challenge to us in trying to code a + +0:59:08.960,0:59:13.200 +system like this for + +0:59:10.240,0:59:14.319 +automated play and that's that every + +0:59:13.200,0:59:17.119 +character gets a + +0:59:14.319,0:59:18.000 +unique special power and traditionally + +0:59:17.119,0:59:19.520 +you negotiate + +0:59:18.000,0:59:21.839 +your special power with the dungeon + +0:59:19.520,0:59:24.079 +master when you create your character + +0:59:21.839,0:59:25.839 +and occasionally throughout the course + +0:59:24.079,0:59:27.359 +of the character's life their special + +0:59:25.839,0:59:29.920 +power might change + +0:59:27.359,0:59:33.280 +due to game circumstances usually it + +0:59:29.920,0:59:34.960 +improves but sometimes not + +0:59:33.280,0:59:36.960 +uh and that's those are the most fun + +0:59:34.960,0:59:39.440 +conversations right sometimes we have + +0:59:36.960,0:59:41.760 +fun gaming sessions where we barely get + +0:59:39.440,0:59:43.680 +all the characters created and

+somebody who's learning emacs as part of + +1:00:34.559,1:00:38.480 +the project + +1:00:35.440,1:00:40.720 +and um yeah i + +1:00:38.480,1:00:42.160 +i i particularly wanted to invite you on + +1:00:40.720,1:00:44.319 +to talk about your experience learning + +1:00:42.160,1:00:46.079 +emacs i think you have run into + +1:00:44.319,1:00:47.839 +places where it's a pain in the butt to + +1:00:46.079,1:00:56.000 +learn emacs and that this is a safe + +1:00:47.839,1:00:58.960 +space to talk about that + +1:00:56.000,1:01:00.640 +jump into that by saying um the emacs + +1:00:58.960,1:01:02.880 +cheat sheet + +1:01:00.640,1:01:03.680 +um i think it's the one that canoe puts + +1:01:02.880,1:01:07.680 +out + +1:01:03.680,1:01:09.440 +is a lifesaver um a little bit of a + +1:01:07.680,1:01:12.480 +vocabulary disconnect + +1:01:09.440,1:01:13.359 +like and this actually kind of comes up + +1:01:12.480,1:01:15.200 +a lot + +1:01:13.359,1:01:18.000 +in conversation with corona and eric and + +1:01:15.200,1:01:21.920 +i but copy paste versus + +1:01:18.000,1:01:24.480 +what yank and w + +1:01:21.920,1:01:24.480 +whatever w + +1:01:27.920,1:01:31.200 +why would you even do that to us right + +1:01:30.000,1:01:33.359 +where where were you + +1:01:31.200,1:01:38.480 +when zero's park happened no i i + +1:01:33.359,1:01:39.520 +understand that makes sense what else + +1:01:38.480,1:01:41.440 +i mean you don't have to sit here and + +1:01:39.520,1:01:43.119 +rag on emacs but we're here for that + +1:01:41.440,1:01:44.400 +that's all i'm saying + +1:01:43.119,1:01:46.799 +no i'm like that's been the biggest + +1:01:44.400,1:01:49.920 +thing like i'm + +1:01:46.799,1:01:52.319 +i'm used to like just kind of the + +1:01:49.920,1:01:53.839 +very binary nature like nope that didn't + +1:01:52.319,1:01:57.119 +work try something else + +1:01:53.839,1:01:59.200 +so as long as you're like willing to try + +1:01:57.119,1:02:02.880 +other stuff + +1:01:59.200,1:02:06.559 +like emacs will be fine so + +1:02:02.880,1:02:08.960 +it's a tough cookie i can take it + +1:02:06.559,1:02:11.119 +worst thing that happens is you have to + +1:02:08.960,1:02:13.520 +really install it + +1:02:11.119,1:02:16.799 +throw your ignite file that you + +1:02:13.520,1:02:16.799 +hopefully have a backup of + +1:02:19.920,1:02:24.640 +all right

+1:03:34.960,1:03:37.200 +that's too abrupt so we need to go + +1:03:36.319,1:03:39.119 +around the room + +1:03:37.200,1:03:40.720 +eric you had hours and hours to rehearse + +1:03:39.119,1:03:41.359

+1:03:51.359,1:03:55.280 +you know as we think about dungeon and + +1:03:54.240,1:03:57.520 +sharing it's + +1:03:55.280,1:03:58.799 +sharing its tradition as we think about + +1:03:57.520,1:04:02.799 +learning emacs + +1:03:58.799,1:04:04.880 +and like making that awesome um + +1:04:02.799,1:04:07.599 +and just you know generally what's up + +1:04:04.880,1:04:12.480 +with free software and trying

is as we build + +1:06:24.160,1:06:32.160 +our amazing innovations and + +1:06:27.839,1:06:35.119 +explore our ideas in emacs + +1:06:32.160,1:06:36.079 +we are fighting our own ego for the will + +1:06:35.119,1:06:37.680 +to get them done + +1:06:36.079,1:06:38.960 +it's hard and we're not sure if they're + +1:06:37.680,1:06:40.000 +going to be a good idea and will it + +1:06:38.960,1:06:41.680 +excite people and part of our + +1:06:40.000,1:06:43.440 +responsibility is to excite people so + +1:06:41.680,1:06:44.240 +that they can feel good about liking + +1:06:43.440,1:06:45.680 +them + +1:06:44.240,1:06:47.359 +if you come off and you're like hey this + +1:06:45.680,1:06:47.920 +is a terrible idea it's really hard to + +1:06:47.359,1:06:49.760 +be like + +1:06:47.920,1:06:51.200 +no i love that idea it works + +1:06:49.760,1:06:55.520 +theatrically but + +1:06:51.200,1:06:55.520 +in larger groups may not scale + +1:06:55.680,1:07:00.400 +so that's a crucible for ideas and a + +1:06:58.400,1:07:03.280 +crucible for teams + +1:07:00.400,1:07:04.240 +the first part is definitely healthy the + +1:07:03.280,1:07:07.440 +second part +

+1:07:30.960,1:07:34.880 +we would be remiss not to highlight org + +1:07:32.960,1:07:37.839 +mode a little bit + +1:07:34.880,1:07:38.480 +yeah like that's that's our bread and + +1:07:37.839,1:07:40.240 +butter + +1:07:38.480,1:07:42.720 +yeah our whole project is built on org + +1:07:40.240,1:07:46.240 +mode right and i'm just really excited + +1:07:42.720,1:07:49.680 +because like i have i don't have adhd + +1:07:46.240,1:07:51.119 +but i have like something similar and so + +1:07:49.680,1:07:54.880 +like to know that there's something that + +1:07:51.119,1:07:57.760 +exists that is like purely hierarchical + +1:07:54.880,1:07:58.559 +is incredible like i can just run a + +1:07:57.760,1:08:01.839 +report + +1:07:58.559,1:08:03.839 +basically and get all of my like + +1:08:01.839,1:08:05.760 +to-do lists that i didn't have to put in + +1:08:03.839,1:08:10.240 +one specific place + +1:08:05.760,1:08:10.240 +um and like that's

cycle + +1:08:24.400,1:08:30.239 +through them is really incredible + +1:08:26.640,1:08:34.480 +and i think taking a dungeon and + +1:08:30.239,1:08:35.839 +like using it to + +1:08:34.480,1:08:37.759 +like combining it with org mode + +1:08:35.839,1:08:41.040 +basically um + +1:08:37.759,1:08:42.560 +really yeah i'm excited about it i'm + +1:08:41.040,1:08:44.159 +excited to see like what it can
