Completely transparent buttons aren’t that great. When used correctly, sure, but as flyke said as soon as you have stuff behind them it becomes very difficult to read anything

Lyris the Kitori•1/15/23, 9:26 PM

i love the frosted glass aesthetic of buttons

AquaOP•1/15/23, 9:27 PM

Yea same

but mah HL2 buttons

AquaOP•1/15/23, 9:28 PM

Certainly when it comes to full screen menus that will also use the frosted effect, it will make everything much easier to read on a busy background

Redhacker2•1/15/23, 9:28 PM

Redhacker2•1/15/23, 9:29 PM

its beautiful

RRedhacker2 but mah HL2 buttons

AquaOP•1/15/23, 9:29 PM

Source games can manage it because they design the menus in a way to not put the buttons on an area where they easily stand out

Redhacker2•1/15/23, 9:29 PM

I want my sorse engine menu

AquaOP•1/15/23, 9:30 PM

Then... make one?

Redhacker2•1/15/23, 9:31 PM

I will

you know what would be cool? if it counted the amount of time you wrote c# xmldoc

TechPizza•1/15/23, 9:53 PM

also what did you waste 4 hours on LUA for angryturtle

Lyris the Kitori•1/15/23, 9:53 PM

writing OpenComputers control systems

TechPizza•1/15/23, 9:53 PM

ok, you are 101% forgiven

Lyris the Kitori•1/15/23, 9:53 PM

i tried using the C# -> Lua transpiler but i couldnt get it to work in opencomputers or computercraft

Lyris the Kitori•1/15/23, 9:57 PM

if someone knows how to get that to work i will give you a 20 pesos bill i use as a bookmark

Nitrous•1/16/23, 2:48 AM

fun

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 2:48 AM

remove obj and bin folders

Nitrous•1/16/23, 2:49 AM

SilkTouch took its time generating

Nitrous•1/16/23, 2:49 AM

seems fine now

Lyris the Kitori•1/16/23, 2:50 AM

source generator moment

Nitrous•1/16/23, 2:50 AM

i think it generated everything since its a fresh clone

flyke•1/16/23, 2:47 PM

I watched Monogame tutorial, and app structure looks quite similat to Slik.Net app. Never used it before, was curios, because it on C# and GL. Is Monogame any good to learn something, or it is outdated?

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:47 PM

MonoGame is actually pretty good

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:47 PM

monogame is a framework
it does a lot of the stuff for you

AAqua monogame is a framework it does a lot of the stuff for you

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:47 PM

Doesn't mean it's bad

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:48 PM

Frameworks, engines, bindings and etc. are just tools anyways

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:48 PM

Different stuff suits different people, nothing bad bout it

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:48 PM

you can use the lower level stuff sure, but its based on DX9, which is a bit of an issue
not too bad though, sprite renderer and stuff is done for you already, and there's some built in 3D stuff but just avoid the built in 3D stuff like the plague

ZZaBlazzingZephyrus Doesn't mean it's bad

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:48 PM

never said it was

ZZaBlazzingZephyrus MonoGame is actually pretty good

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:48 PM

BUT its development (at least for me as an observer) seems kinda stagnant..

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:49 PM

Minor bug fix took around two years or so

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:49 PM

Without any major features

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:49 PM

I know it's most likely fine, just wanna point out it's not in the most active development most likely

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:49 PM

But it DOES have a pretty active community

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:50 PM

its because as a framework monogame is basically feature complete at this point. the only thing that needs doing is bug fixes and those are few and far between

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:51 PM

they are really waiting now on the FNA team to improve their graphics stuff for vulkan and whatever and then i believe mg will be switching to an FNA-provided backend.
cpt-max's compute fork is what really gives mg some life now and everyone is waiting for whenever that will be merged in which probably won't be for a while, especially since mg is still stuck on c# 5 for BRUTE compatibility, while the compute fork uses like c# 9 or smth like that

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

Well that's pretty complicated...

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

Oh btw

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

About compilation

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

Is Silk fine with AOT compilation?

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

yes

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

Wanted to try it out some time later

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:52 PM

this is running under AOT

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:53 PM

Ooo interesting

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:53 PM

Definitely looking forward to checking that out later

ZaBlazzingZephyrus•1/16/23, 2:53 PM

(ugh..)

AquaOP•1/16/23, 2:53 PM

its not hard to do. just avoid anything involving reflection unless you follow the specific set of rules
