Chat meetup

[DeusexConstantia]

I think we should convene in IRC or any other RealTimeChat and set a RoadMap and decide on what tools we are going to use, along with assigning Tasks. Maybe we can use doodle or something similiar to schedule it.

Great idea! Can you guys do it over this weekend?

[DeusexConstantia]

Till the 15th I still have vacation from uni, so if I know beforehand I should be able to make time.I would greatly appreciate anything between 6:00 and  15:00 EST though, timezones are a bitch. Don't know if we have anyone for whom that time slot is bad.

Good idea, I'll try to be available. Please take into consideration that (probably) we live in different time zones. Currently I'm in a GMT+2 zone.

I'd be down for this. I should be able to make time this weekend, but maybe, in the case that me or someone else can't make it, we could get a summary posted somewhere?

[Augusto Noronha]

Would tomorrow (or sunday) 11 am est  work for you guys?

[Freakazo]

I'm in EST, but I think there is more than one EST (I'm UTC+10).
Quickly looking around to see what's the best way to organize this...

I could make it

[Darwin (AnimatingDead) Froese]

Both days should work for me!

Created a google docs spreadsheet wit hall the time zones, the time that seems to fit everyone is 10/6/2012 13:00:00 at utc 0. So USA EST DST 10/6/2012 9:00:00  , Australia/ EST (Sydney) 10/6/2012 23:00:00 , and for the UTC + 2 guy it is 10/6/2012 15:00:00.

Might be a bit of a short notice for some, but it should be easier to schedule meetings ahead of time now.

I'm UTC-8, and can make time all weekend.

Just to verify, 10/6/2012 15:00:00 at utc0 is the time for the meetup. I'll be making notes throughout so don't worry too much about missing out. Refer the docs for your local time.

[Augusto Noronha]

Ok, I'll be there.

[Augusto Noronha]

Will it be through progether's IRC?

I think so, unless it's too crowded

[Brandon Lee]

Hey, I wasn't able to make it. What did you guys talk about?

Thanks

We scheduled the next meetup for 12:00 Greenwichtime, agreed on the tools I listed in the thread I posted, and laid out a rough roadmap, breaking down the Game into Setup,Entity System, Event System, Rendering,Human I/O, File I/O and sound.

Those of us who don't know what some of those mean are to read up on them and if there's no prior OpenGL, Allegro Knowledge, read up on that too and try to implement a moving Shape and maybe play around a bit to get a feeling of what's needed.

Those who already have some prior knowledge can flesh out the Roadmap a bit, breaking the bigger Parts ( like rendering ) down into smaller parts ( animation and whatnot ).

So the first week is basically preplanning and getting everyone up to a baseline of understanding.
