Problem of Priority

(1/5) > >>

Griz:
could we sorta, kinda work out the stuff that doesn't work first?
like day/night, and the leagues, ensuring all the data/settings are
saved and reloaded properly ... or whatever ...
you know ... get a version that works as advertised before adding
still more new stuff?
just a thought.

PurpleYouko:
This isn't exactly new stuff.

Ties have always been kind of buggy and have never done what they were designed to do. Overhauling them is more in the vein of getting the existing system working.

Other than that I agree. We need to focus on defects in the existing version(s)

yeah, ok.
I know Nums is wired up much the same as I ...
getting off on discovering how to do something new ...
and then moving on to the next big thing.
I understand that very well, believe me. ;)
at the same time ...
we do also have to actually get the stuff discovered
to work in conjunction with what we already have ...
or we don't have an end product that is on any use
to anyone ... ie ... the User.

now I'm just beginning to play with VB ...
and trying to figure out the DB code as well ...
and I wish I could be of more help in resolving some
of the existing 'bugs' or in implimenting the ideas
discovered into the existing program.
I'm afraid it will be a while ...
esp when it keeps changing.
also ... I can see that if/when I start to get a handle on
VB ... it will then be in C++. ;)

I just happen to think that part of this project is being
overlooked or not given the priority it needs to have
to make DB something that people can actually use
and get excited about ...
and out of that coming the support for DB as a real group
effort with lots of folks willing to contribute.
that's all.

The most basic test bot would be some sort of jet propulsion bot like I tried to make months ago that moves by a butterfly kick.  I think that's what would be cool looking.

how about you actually address it somewhere?

Numsgil:
Basically everything in 2.4 should be more or less functioning.  If something isn't, you should point to it so I can fix it.  However, unless something is a real deal breaker, I'd prefer to work out issues with the C++ port and get that finished up so I can start on metabolism issues, env grid, etc.

Also keep in mind that programming takes time.  Alot of time.  Lots and lots of time.  I devoted about every waking free moment I had to Darwinbots from about the beginning of October to the end of November, to give you the idea of time to progress ratio.

So if something takes a while to happen, relax, and either help me do it or sit back and wait.

Since I'm the one donating my time I get final say on what I work on.  That's not to say that I won't take input from others.  I just have a clear vision of what I want to work on and that's what I follow.  Only if you change my vision can you change my priorities.  If you're unhappy with either the pace or direction of upgrades, feel free to suggest new changes in suggestions forum to get discussed and program them in yourself.  It's open source for a reason.

Basically, if you pardon my French, the mass generalizations used to bitch are getting old.  Things like "we do also have to actually get the stuff discovered
to work in conjunction with what we already have ...
or we don't have an end product that is on any use
to anyone ... ie ... the User." do not tell me what it is specifically you're at issue with, so I don't know how to correct it myself.  And you're either unwilling or unable to do it yourself.  Hence hurt feelings and alot of tire spinning.
