Time Nick Message 14:26 imi hi, how do I check out minietest 5.5.0 stable using git? git checkout 5.5.0 says it's in "detached head state", is that OK? 14:27 rubenwardy yeah that's fine, it just means you're not on a branch - you're at a tag 14:28 imi ok thanks 14:31 imi irrlicht however doesn't have this tag. can I use the newest irrlicht? 14:31 imi I mean the newest latest commit 14:57 sfan5 latest version and latest tag both work fine 14:57 sfan5 the release notes on github suggest 1.9.0mt4 17:45 * Oblomov wants a libcaca backend for irrlicht 17:48 MTDiscord Oblomov: funny that you say that, there is a console device for irrlicht that renders as ASCII art in a terminal 18:02 Oblomov MTDiscord: there is? 18:02 Oblomov ehm ROllerozxa ^ 18:02 Oblomov how do I select that? 18:06 MTDiscord tad bit complicated, you would need to compile a custom build of upstream irrlicht with the console device compiled in, alongside minetest 5.4.1 compiled against that... and then it would probably crash 18:06 MTDiscord I went down that road a while ago and while it did compile, it would always crash on startup 18:07 MTDiscord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD0eNN4F6P4 18:09 Oblomov hm not worth it then 18:10 Oblomov it also seems to eat colors 18:18 MTDiscord If you programmed color into that I think valve would be sending you a job offer within a few hours 18:29 MTDiscord terminal colours aren't hard at all.. if you wanted to you an just use 24-bit background colours with the space characters and lump them directly out 18:31 MTDiscord Choosing a good character and using different back/foreground colours is where it'd get hard. 18:45 Oblomov jordan4ibanez: libcaca does it, so it's really not that difficult. the way I would do that would be render using gpu, pass rendered screen to libcaca, output using that 18:45 Oblomov slow but safe 18:46 Oblomov alternative would be to do a gpu port of libcaca that would be faster in doing the render => ascii thing on gpu (easy to parallelize) and then get the ascii output and pass it to the console 20:23 MinetestBot 02[git] 04setupminimal -> 03minetest/minetest: Fix undefined behavior in TileLayer (#12125) 1311f3f72 https://github.com/minetest/minetest/commit/11f3f72f1cfe8111574ee865829c380cd7fc7c30 (152022-03-11T20:22:49Z) 23:46 Soni can we have i2p-powered "friend code" multiplayer?
