i want the drat autocomplete popup window to STOP STEALING FOCUS GOD DAMNIT

when i hit arrow keys its because i want to move the cursor around, not scroll through every loving function name and variable name that just happens to match whatever text i just typed

yeah this basically. it'd be better to have complete current intellisense action/move up/down commands instead of just screw up your arrow keys. gently caress, or even use scroll lock for this

this was a valid complaint ten years ago. every modern ide has a way to search for available actions.

that isn't the problem. if you want to know how to do X thing in an IDE but can't find it in the UI, you can just google it and trivially find out. the hard part is knowing that X is even a thing that IDEs do, because there's generally absolutely nothing that indicates that the thing you just spent 30 seconds doing could have been done in .1 seconds by hitting a hotkey (intellij tries and i appreciate that, but it isn't very good at it)

I want to point an object at another object in 3D space. what's it called when you have two vectors (object A's forward vector and object B's position) and you want to find the rotation for aligning one vector to point at the other vector?

I'm bad at math, don't you need to know object A's position too? (so you have the vector that points from A to B)

we know the position and rotation of objects A and B, we want object A to face object B

well I'm looking at Descent's ai_turn_towards_vec(vector goal, object *obj) function and the answer is something like that

If you just need to snap A's forward vector just set it to A.forward = Normalize(B.pos - A.pos).

i'm winner :toot:

code:

void DumbShip::obj_think() {
    /* Face the targeted SceneObject. */
    Vector3f target_position = target->transformation.translation;

    float x_distance = target_position.x - this->transformation.translation.x;
    float y_distance = target_position.y - this->transformation.translation.y;
    float z_distance = target_position.z - this->transformation.translation.z;
    float xz_distance= std::sqrt(x_distance * x_distance + z_distance * z_distance);

    this->transformation.rotation.x = R2D(std::atan2(y_distance, xz_distance)); //around Y
    this->transformation.rotation.y = R2D(std::atan2(x_distance, z_distance));  //around X
    this->transformation.rotation.z = 0;

    /* Move toward the object. */
    if(distance_to_target() > 1.0f){
        this->movement.forward_speed = 0.01;      
    } else {
        this->movement.forward_speed = 0;
    }

    this->movement.velocity = forward_vector() * movement.forward_speed;
}

if you don't remember to zero out the forward speed, uh, the ship fucks the cube it goes "oh gosh I need to recalculate my orientation" once the distance is greater than 1 unit, snapping to the opposite rotation

the model is also backwards but that's a separate problem

and now waypoints can have other waypoints as their target, basically turning them into a linked list of entities that the DumbShip class automatically follows to the end (changing their target to the target's target until they run out of waypoints)

dang, it's almost like i've got game-like behavior here

i also adapted a fixed-point class i found on github so this thing might eventually work on 386s if I rip out all the floating-point math

i tried to start a react project and vs has some weird error but i also noticed it didn't check out a file from github (???) and then i tried vs code and 1) the insider build flat out didn't want to use git at all and then the regular build was trying to execute stuff in powershell and didn't escape spaces so it just threw an error so i think im gonna give up

The nice thing about this is it gives you several plugins that attempt to make js less terrible, like es6. Sometimes I forget I'm doing js at work until some dumb quirk comes up or I look at the file ending

thanks ill look at it.

i figured it out, i had to check it out with git instead of open a git url in vs. i dunno what the gently caress it was doing, it was missing files and didn't set a remote url

the NEC ProSpeed/386 should have a socket for an FPU, so if you can ever figure out how to open it (I couldn't) not only could you replace the CMOS battery, you could also install a 16 MHz 80387 to match its 16 MHz 80386

or maybe the expansion unit has the socket for the FPU, when will that be arriving?

I think the expansion unit has SIMM slots and an extra hard drive bay to go with the ISA slot sidecar thing
