I was considering reviving the IRC idea that Arctus (on the DaggerXL forums) originally started but with a twist. The idea would be for me to create a new channel that I'd leave running on one of my computers all the time (barring power and/or internet outages of course). However instead of an IRC channel for DarkXL and one for DaggerXL, my thoughts are to make a "DXL" channel to cover both projects - with links on the various blogs and forums. The idea is to encourage more continuous communication even during busy spells (from me) and allow for some real time discussion when possible.
So what do you guys think?

Sounds like it could be an interesting idea, if anything just to pop in from time to time just to say "hey, how's it going?".

The IRC channel is up and running, and Lucius is online. There is an update regarding DarkXL:
Quote:
[14:01] <luciusDXL> Just trying to get the last part of the "pure renderer" clipping algorithm done for DarkXL. Having some issues with finding the proper raycast intersections while avoiding false-positives (such as self-intersection). Once that is done exact culling and clipping with no overdraw and be able to handle arbitrary non-convex sectors with holes and overlapping sectors efficeintly and accurately.
[14:01] <luciusDXL> Then I just optimize and release the build so I can get the DaggerXL build done.

Now stick an irc client library in darkxl so players can (optionally) chat in the chat from in-game! 
I did that once with Source, though I coded the IRC client myself. Then I started over making a pure C++ lib to handle IRC client stuff that I could use to write quick C++-based IRC bots, but then I lost interest.

That's actually not a bad idea, thanks MAZZTer. Though obviously low priority right now as you can imagine.

I don't have an IRC client so I use Mibbit or Java web-based IRCs for stuff like this. I tried to get to this chat and figured out a one-link way for people without an IRC client to get to the Dxl.Projects chat.
You can get to it here: http://02.chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.chatspike.net&channel=%23Dxl.Projects
Just put in your name and click 'Go'.

Cool, saw you on there but you had already logged off. Well maybe another night, I have to go to sleep.

Sorry Lucius, I had to get off at the time shortly afterwards and I figured yous were all busy/sleeping anyway (most IRCs I go to are Britain or America-based whereas I'm Aussie  ).
Also, there was the other user 'sprocket', that was actually me testing if the mibbit link worked.
Good to hear from you anyhow, I'll keep in touch now that things are rolling here at df-21.net.
