GreaseMonkey have there been any efforts to convert the OpenGL XML information into a Raku binding? 04:51
there's a GLFW3 binding somewhere which has at least some of the OpenGL API, but it would be better off having the OpenGL stuff be a separate thing altogether 04:52

moon-child GreaseMonkey: github.com/moon-chilled/glarkum 05:14
(also prefer sdl to glfw) 05:15
GreaseMonkey nice, what's the preferred way to load that? 05:16
doesn't appear to be available via zef
moon-child still needs to be cleaned up, I haven't built it into a proper package yet. But see the example
GreaseMonkey huh, didn't realise GL Core could be done in under 100 lines of C 05:18
i normally hit 200-300 when i do it
moon-child :) 05:19
no comments though, and dsa cuts down on the binding crap
GreaseMonkey ah right, DSA
if you don't care about Windows users with old GPUs and old drivers, it's great 05:20
which is the view i hold, so it's great
if you really want to breathe life into an old GPU, Windows is not how you do it
but maybe one day we'll have GL 3.3 on a GMA 4500 MHD
moon-child haha maybe. That thing is ancient! 05:21
GreaseMonkey you're talking to someone who used to have an S3 ViRGE
and heck, the 4500 MHD is still pretty respectable
and also great to have if you want to bare-metal an Intel GPU, relatively free of silicon bugs 05:22
but that thing can access up to not quite 2 GB per context, and you can even raytrace at 320x180 at a decent framerate
now, if you want an inherently bad GPU: the GMA 3150, which was basically "let's take an outdated GPU and make it 1/4 of the 'speed'" 05:24
i once tried to optimise it, and then i had to close that issue because of how bad it was. y'know a GPU that can beat the 3150 easily? VC4.
anyway, time to add this thing to my module path however that works 05:25
...actually, how would i do that? 05:26
moon-child invoke with raku -Ipath/to/glarkum 05:27
GreaseMonkey yeah alright i'll go with that
huh, it does take a while to actually get stuff together once the window frame is created 05:29
moon-child yeah
I'm thinking lazy loading might be the solution to that 05:30
also tried using nativecall directly (is native(...)) but that was even slower
GreaseMonkey lazy loading is definitely worthwhile from what i'm seeing in top 05:31
i also wonder how different glx and wgl are... i can vouch for glx being "somewhat OK i guess" or more accurately "not as bad as you'd think"... but in practice, vs SDL you don't actually save that much RAM 05:33
moon-child no idea, I've never used either 05:34
there's also egl, and I think arcan and mac both use their own thing 05:35
huh, I tried using is native again. Apparently it's actually much faster 05:40
only problem is...it takes 16gb of memory to compile!

It's also not-quite-ready for zef, but not for lack of trying. 06:18

nine moon-child: note that NativeCall can be very fast when the call is JIT compiled, but not all calls are. I basically only implemented the cases (data types) I needed for Inline::Perl5. E.g. there is no JIT support for floats in native calls. 06:23
06:23 linkable6 joined
moon-child bad news, opengl is basically all floats! ;) 06:24
but yeah, not so worried about runtime perf as compile time (and esp. compile time memory usage)

Xliff Why is it that when I have a trait defined as such: 07:40
"multi sub trait_mod:<is> (Attribute:D $a, :accessor_less($)!)" 07:41
I get a type mismatch error on the :accessor_less parameter, when said trait is used in a class like so: "class A is reor<CStruct> { has $!a is accessor_less; }" 07:42
s/reor/repr/
07:43 dakkar joined 07:49 guer joined
raydiak if you're seeing the same error I am, it has nothing to do with the trait. CStructs don't handle arbitrary types, you have to add a type declaration to the attribute like it says in the error, so it knows how to represent it in a C struct 07:53
m: class A is repr<CStruct> { has $!a } 07:54
camelia 5===SORRY!5=== Error while compiling <tmp>
CStruct representation only handles attributes of type:
(u)int8, (u)int16, (u)int32, (u)int64, (u)long, (u)longlong, num32, num64, (s)size_t, bool, Str
and types with representation: CArray, CPo…
raydiak m: class A is repr<CStruct> { has uint8 $!a }
camelia ( no output )
07:55 p6steve left
raydiak besides that, your code works for me 07:55
m: multi sub trait_mod:<is> (Attribute:D $a, :accessor_less($)!) {}; class A is repr<CStruct> { has uint8 $!a is accessor_less; }
camelia ( no output )
GreaseMonkey alright, i'll take a look at that 07:56

holly There's an Adventure game room in Solstice now, just needs exact collision detection for derived classes 12:32
AdventureRoom.pm6 12:33
lizmat do you have an algorithm already for the collision detection ? 12:36
holly It depends on what adventure game room you're in but you can collide with e.g. boxes on the room 12:37
then you just check coordinates in the boxes
x > xx && x < xx + width && y > yy && y < yy + height for example 12:38
where xx,yy,width, height are the box coords
x,y the player character coords 12:39
my Solstice tile engine checks which tile you're on, then checks height for colliding
using diamonds 12:40
It still needs work though for having tilemap collision
there's 2 tilemaps in now
for the starting room of the NES Solstice game
see Nestopia
which has a mac version 12:41
and linux 12:42
It also has a nice icon :-)
I tended to use mac and fedora versions
I'd rather like the python pygame icon 12:46
boxes are a bit stupid though, somwhat brute force but it'll do 12:47
you just collide a list of boxes as described above
@!boxes = (); @!boxes.push(ox); 12:48
then iterate over boxes and you're done
boxCollide(ox) 12:49
From my LISP/Scheme programming days 12:50
@!boxes in AdventureRoom.pm6
then AdventureRoom->collideBoxes(); 12:51
As clear as my fucking ass
undomove in the code is also nice 12:54
after collide 12:56
Anyway it's compileable 13:00

holly grabs a beer 15:24
stoned75 am I missing something or find_method's documentation is wrong/out of date: it says it return the method obj closest in mro but I tend to see the opposite ':) 15:26
m: my Str $s = ""; say $s.HOW.^find_method("find_method").package 15:33
camelia No such method 'package' for invocant of type 'NQPRoutine'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
stoned75 ETOODEEP
definitively too deep, I found myself reading 6model.c 15:45
dakkar I think you fell off the edge of the MOP 15:46
stoned75 looks like it :-} 15:47
15:48 linkable6 left, evalable6 left
dakkar `find_method` is probably set up in the "early" bits of the MOP, so it's a NQPRoutine, not a full Method 15:48
(I'm sure there's a bunch of well-known bugs in rakudo about bits of the implementation leaking through the mop) 15:49
15:49 linkable6 joined 15:50 evalable6 joined
stoned75 OK plan B, add a couple of debugging say() and recompile rakudo, I'll find where is my method ! :-} 15:52
dakkar bit drastic ☺ 15:55
stoned75: what are you trying to achieve?
stoned75 I want to be sure which method is called in something like the following 15:58
m: my Str $s = "10"; say $s.Numeric
camelia 10
stoned75 so I'm stargazing, trying to ascertain what are those shining little lights :-}
there now I know it's really Str.Numeric that is called 16:03
but... 16:04
m: my Str $s = "10"; say $s.^find_method("Numeric").package
camelia (Mu)
stoned75 and that surprises me
dakkar there's a `proto method Numeric` in Mu 16:05
so I think you get the full multi method back from `^fiind_metdo
from `^find_method` 16:06
stoned75 and when considering the following, I tend to believe find_method() does not return the closer method in the mro:
my Str $s = "10"; say $s.^find_method("Numeric").candidates.map({.package})
evalable6 ((Mu) (Str))
dakkar that's what I just said
you get a multi
with candidates defined in different packages
stoned75 yes, hence my first question... I guess find_method's documentation could use some love :) 16:08
dakkar it's not wrong, but it is incomplete, yes
m: class A { method foo() {} };class B is A { method foo() {} }; B.^find_method('foo').package.^name 16:09
camelia ( no output )
dakkar m: class A { method foo() {} };class B is A { method foo() {} }; say B.^find_method('foo').package.^name
camelia B
dakkar B, as documented 16:10
[Coke] yawns.
dakkar m: class A { multi method foo() {} };class B is A { multi method foo($a) {} }; .say for B.^find_method('foo').candidates>>.package 16:11
camelia (A)
(B)
dakkar you get the closest method, which sometimes is a multi
stoned75 OK but what about Str.^find_method("Numeric").package ?
dakkar it's exactly the same as my last example 16:12
stoned75 but I fail to make sense of it ':)
dakkar m: .say for Str.^find_method('Numeric').candidates>>.package
camelia (Mu)
(Str)
dakkar there is 1 `multi method Numeric` reachable from the Str class
it has 2 candidates
one is defined in the Mu class, the other in the Str class
m: .say for Str.^find_method('Numeric').candidates>>.signature
camelia (Mu:U \v: *%_)
(Str:D: Bool :$fail-or-mu, *%_ --> Numeric:D)
dakkar they have (of course) different signatures 16:13
m: say Str.Numeric
camelia Use of uninitialized value of type Str in numeric context
0
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
dakkar m: say '10'.Numeric
camelia 10
stoned75 yes but find_method() does not return the closest in mro, or there something I still did not understand
16:13 patrickb left
dakkar that "use of unitialized…" is printed by Mu::Numeric 16:13
I think the confusing bit is "how do multis interact with inheritance" 16:14
stoned75 that may be the thing I did not quite get yes
dakkar the Str class has a `Numeric` method 16:15
so `find_method` returns that
*but*
that method is a multi
so the Method object you get back refers to all the candidates of that multi
this is necessary, because…
m: my $m = Str.^find_method('Numeric');say '123'.Numeric; say '123'.$m() 16:16
camelia 123
123
dakkar those two *must* work the same way
m: my $m = Str.^find_method('Numeric');say Str.Numeric; say Str.$m()
camelia Use of uninitialized value of type Str in numeric context
0
0
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Use of uninitialized value of type Str in numeric context
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
dakkar including the multi-dispatch
are you still with me?
stoned75 ok please lemme process this 16:17
ok get it
dakkar I agree that it's confusing, and some more examples in the documentaton wouldn't hurt 16:18
stoned75 otoh if get a method object for a given object, hence type. and try to call that method on another object, like in your example, aren't you being adventurous ? 16:19
*if you get a method...
dakkar no, as long as the types are the same
16:19 guer` left
dakkar methods are tied to types, not values 16:19
stoned75 of course of course
holly class methods etc. 16:20
dakkar m: say ''.^find_method('Num') =:= Str.^find_method('Num')
camelia True
dakkar they're the same method
on the other hand…
m: my $m = Str.^find_method('Numeric');say (1.25).$m() 16:21
camelia Cannot resolve caller Numeric(Rat:D: ); none of these signatures match:
(Mu:U \v: *%_)
(Str:D: Bool :$fail-or-mu, *%_ --> Numeric:D)
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
stoned75 but hum... I mean.. holding a method object for a multi defined on Mu should be really be a problemwhen trying to call it on a random object
dakkar why?
stoned75 wehll with your last example, I take that back :)
dakkar calling a method is a normal dispatch ☺
16:22 p6steve left
dakkar of course, if the signatures match, you will get what you ask for (which may well be nothing like what you meant) 16:22
but hey, raku isa perl, that's what we do 😜 16:23
stoned75 eh :-)
I'm still thing that "which is closest in the method resolution order" is misleading ;-) 16:26
*still thinking 16:27
otoh find_method is defined for *various* classes and this sentence is about Metamodel::MROBasedMethodDispatch.find_method() 16:28
dakkar it's not misleading when you're not looking at multis 16:29
stoned75 I guess so
dakkar m: class A { method foo() {} };class B { method foo() {} }; class C is A is B {}; say C.^find_method('foo').package.^name
camelia A
dakkar m: class A { method foo() {} };class B { method foo() {} }; class C is B is A {}; say C.^find_method('foo').package.^name
camelia B
dakkar see? closest in mro 16:30
stoned75 yes indeed.
dakkar also, asking a multi Method "what's your package" is actually asking "what's your proto's package"
m: class A { proto method foo {*} };class B is A { multi method foo() {} }; class C is A {}; say C.^find_method('foo').package.^name 16:31
camelia A
dakkar m: class A { proto method foo {*} };class B is A { multi method foo() {} }; class C is A {}; .say for C.^find_method('foo')>>candidates.package.^name

stoned75 dakkar: ;-)

camelia B
dakkar so when you ask for the method's package, you get where the proto was defined
when you ask each candidate, you get where the candidate was defined
which is more-or-less the only sensible way to expose all that info 16:34
stoned75 dakkar: I see and I think I get it. thanks for your explanations and your patience
holly I've hacked in collision detection into 16:35
dakkar stoned75: no worries, I've also learned a few things along the way ☺
holly Solstice. Now to debug it.
stoned75 I write down that find_method really need to be a bit more documented
otoh it may be a rakudo implementation detail...
dakkar no, it's not 16:36
find_method must return the whole multi method
and multi methods work the way I described (directly refer to the proto, contain candidates)
stoned75 ok i'm definitively writing this down in my personal backlog then :) 16:37
16:37 p6steve joined
dakkar for example, github.com/Raku/roast/blob/master/...hing.t#L91 mandates the behaviour of find_methods with multis 16:38
(I'm sure there's better tests, this is just the first one I found)
anyway, I'm disconnecting now, have fun! 16:39

kybr i have a grammar with `token split { '.' }` because "split" is the name i want for the '.' but Raku does not like this: Cannot resolve caller split(Mu:U, Foo::Thing:D); Routine does not have any candidates. Is only the proto defined? 18:04
using `token splyt { '.' }` works fine. 18:07
Altreus In lieu of an actual answer I would go as far to recommend that tokens be nouns, not verbs
I expect this is still going to cause an issue at some point but, well, you know
kybr split is a noun. in this case.
but that seems like a sound recommendation. 18:08
Altreus I suppose it can be used as a noun in the sense of gap 18:09
ugexe you will have to show your code, as an example with no such token gives a different error 18:39
m: grammar Foo { token TOP {.}; token split { die }; }; say Foo.parse("a").split
