4.12.2011: First Feedback

Problems encountered while trying to script

• Crashes after 3-5 minutes.
• Unnatural to use solid angle query. Would have wanted a "tell me who's within X meters of me".
• Several quaternion functions are either broken or provided incorrect results.
• We don't know JavaScript. Could we buy some JS books to help us out?
• Want to support a more structured development cycle:
  • Save script.
  • Load script into entity.
  • Modify script.
  • Reset entity to script.
  • What is the ui flow?
  • Can you replay?
• It's irritating to enter "new util." to create new Vec3s and Quaternions. Nicer syntax would be appreciated.
• Want to print the fields/methods of presences.
• For a one-off solid angle query, will the system tell me that I have received all visibles? How will I know if there are more to come?
• It would be nice to be able to use multiple movement buttons at the same time.
• Documentation for Emerson files is still missing.
• Intel graphics cards still render super-slowly.
• Mac build isn't working.
• My presence stops moving if I hit a key up.

Other

• Can we use one of your computers to script things if ours doesn't work?
• I got a camera to spin around!
• I created a torus of insect birds!
• I'm trying to filter solid angle queries to give me distance queries.
• It's weird to pass around functions as arguments.
• Jeff recommends some JavaScript tutorials: http://eloquentjavascript.net/chapter4.html and http://eloquentjavascript.net/contents.html.
