4K resolution, also called 4K, refers to a display device or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels. Several 4K resolutions exist in the fields of digital television and digital cinematography. In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) is the dominant 4K standard. 4K is defined by the movie projection industry as 4096 x 2160 (at a 19:10 or 1.9:1 aspect ratio) and should not be confused with ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), which only has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 (at a 16:9, or 1.78:1 aspect ratio). The use of width to characterize...

Jon

its 4x the area of 1080

Wardy

4k was originally introduced as "4x HD"

Jon

you are soooo right

Kevin van der Velden

Then say that, you said something different =p

Be specific in your standards otherwise they are not standards, they are rubbish

mklingen

I think its funny that standard PC screen resolutions went down in the last decade from 1900x1600 to 1920x1080

Kevin van der Velden

8:22 PM

I will call it a 4k screen if it's FUHD, 7680x4320

Wardy

ok so i didn't say it right ... i should have expected that in present company

lol

@KevinvanderVelden isn't that closer to 8k

Jon

anywhayss

Kevin van der Velden

@Wardy no, cause for decades we've been measuring vertical resolution

Wardy

Ok so back to the original question

Which screen lol

dabs.com/products/…

Jon

4k

Wardy

Jon

all the way with 4k

Wardy

ok :)

Almo

call them fork TVs. 4k = fourk fork

Wardy

right connections ... what cables do i need

I have 2 dvi, 1 hdmi and 1 display port on my gfx card

so I should prob use either all dvi or go 1 hdmi and 1 display port

or a combination

Jon

stop worrying and buy the damn thing

buy buy buy

Wardy

8:25 PM

lol

I would be seriously peeved if they turned up and i lacked the cables to fire them up

Pip

this argument again D:<

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Until someone finds a valid argument to prove me wrong in that it is not a misleading marketing technique I will keep correcting people who fall to the marketing trick

Wardy

order placed

est delivery ... 7 days :(

Jon

Almo

that's like me waiting for apple to review my app

Wardy

8:31 PM

there goes £840

Jon

what do you think of the movement physics on that fucker?

if you die, just wait a few seconds for respawn.

Almo

it feels heavy to me, but controllable.

I know there are platformers with light controls and heavy controls, so that's not a criticism.

well, it's a criticism if your goal is light controls. :) I don't know what you're aiming for. :)

Pip

@Jon approval

Jon

just looking for criticism :)

Pip

It sucks, I hate it

that good?

:D

Jon

8:36 PM

its kinda shitty but i like that it is built on box2d

Pip

cool

Jon

i wanna add bridges and fire

and shit that can be destroyed

CTRL/SHIFT absorbes, throws blocks

Wardy

dammit now im impatient

Jon

mouse buttons too

Pip

In other news: I got pathfinding mostly working, though I've got an odd issue with colors

Wardy

8:38 PM

why aren't those screens on a truck yet!

Jon

@Pip you still on pathfinding? haha

while you were fixing your pathfinder, i wrote like 4 game prototypes

Pip

I spent 4 hours total on it

nononono, you misunderstood

I just moved to Unity

Jon

OHHHHHH

YAY PIP

ONE OF US

Pip

lol

benjaminward.ddns.net/public/downloads

Demos on my site

New one up today hopefully, once I fix this issue

The timeout thing this morning was extremely amusing, imo

Jon

haha, yea

it happens every once in a while

Pip

8:41 PM

Got into the chatroom in by Bio class and was like..... oh great, again :/

lol

Yeah, I think I've been present for the last few. Not a big issue imo

This thing is driving me crazy

Jon

i had a class in university, "logical philosophy"

Pip

it occasionally works, and the color of the tiles changes to..... like pink or something instead of white

:/

Jon

went to the two first classes...

Pip

mhm

Jon

what....the...fuck...

teacher writes down a sentence on the whiteboard... we spend 60 minutes analyzing it

Kevin van der Velden

8:44 PM

Did you solve a problem thought unsolveable?

Pip

ouch

Jon

these guys that haven't bathed in weeks are having philosophical discussions with this even more disgusting teacher

at my expense.

after 2 attempts at this.. i decided to just take the tests

passed the class.

stupid bullshit

Pip

Oh fuck I am a dipshit

Unity colors are 0-1, not 0-255

damn

Jon

yep

Lokkij

Oh dear, logical philosophy is one of the subjects I'll have to take next year.

Jon

8:45 PM

i usually do 200/255f

Pip

That was really hard to solve, thanks Unity docs for not saying that

Jon

just so i know the rgb vals

Pip

yeah, I probs will as well

Jon

you will learn the unity ways

it sucks, but its required.

Lokkij

You could probably make an extension method for that.

Jon

8:46 PM

yes you certainly can

Eyyy

attaboy

Yay?

Alright, incrementing to 0.2.4.2 then uploading

@Lokkij Yay.

Jon

Pip

8:51 PM

Anyone here have a Mac? I've never had someone try it on OSx

Jon

almo

Almo

@Pip i do but I'm not at home right now

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

@Jon Wont this solely apply to people using OEM hardware and OEM Windows?

Pip

kk no probs

Almo

you can mail me something

almo2001@yahoo.com if you want me to check it later

Jon

8:52 PM

@William'MindWorX'Mariager if you are referring to the motherboard lock.. no

it will affect whoever wants to be compatible with windows 10

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

That sounds odd.

Jon

it essentially forces hardware makers to decide

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

So if I were to assembly my own computer, I'd have to make up my mind on OS before selecting the mobo.

That's almost enough to make me not want Windows anymore.

Jon

well... a pricier mobo would probably have a switch to disable it

its all heresay right now

best to wait for concrete evidence that this is the route they are taking

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Yeah

Pip

8:54 PM

@Almo nah, I'll mention it later. Thanks though

Jon

store.apple.com/us/product/FD101LL/A/…

@Pip

pretty sweet deal man

Pip

1. Worse than my computer, and not just because it's running OSx and it's a Mac (specs-wise, I mean)

2. I don't want a Mac :D

Jon

i want a mac

Pip

I do not, have fun though

Almo

yes you do

Jon

8:55 PM

i just want one to build for ios

thats it.

Almo

you just don't know it yet.

Jon

and photoshop

and possibly other stuff

then possibly use it for my main pc

then become a mac bitch

what is the visual studio of mac?

XCode

Xcode

ah yes

8:56 PM

it is weird, and takes some getting used to

but it's improved a lot over the years

I can't say I liked Xcode 3

(they're on 6 now)

Jon

yeah i see xcode6

looks macky

i hate that for my dev pc

lol

Almo

if you're going to have a goofy syntax like [[ClassOne getObject] methodOnObject]

Jon

i don't wanna look macky when I dev.. i wanna look like a badass darktheme haxor

Almo

then your IDE had better fucking know how to add the [ if you do [ClassOne getObject] methodOnObject]

Xcode 3 couldn't figure that out

I'm not sure when they fixed that, but it was a very welcome addition when they did
