World: r3wp

looks like R3 with 1000 animated gobs on 1000x700 window is at least 
2x faster than R2 with 1000 animated faces on 1000x700 window. (someone 
has reported 5x)

wow, this will be good :-)

guys, any other spoiler for us unlucky? :-)

what about porting Particles demo for e.g.? Or any other clever measurement 
gui stuff?

there was some simple script measuring FPS (refresh rate), it would 
be curious to see how AGG compositing helped us.

I'm gobsmacked ! :)

what does it mean? :-)

ah, gob, so some relation to gobs?

that probably mean at least one thing - you are part of early testing 
group. So, now off to private chat and prepare for being investigated 
:-)

So does it mean something like "positively surprised"? :-)

Yes, in this context, "gob" is someone's mouth, and smacking is raising 
your hand suddenly to your mouth, as you would do when surprised.

funny find anton  :-)

kibble yer gob -> eat

Today is the day for the public beat IIRC. How is it going guys? 
Hope you're not too stressed. Big thanks for your efforts to date.

beat = beta

it is not :-)

but we can beat guys, that is for sure. Hey, Gabriele, is new VID 
prototype already in the works? :-)

1.July is the first extended developer's release. 15.July is public 
beta ....

today is 15 June :-)

What's a month between friends?

:-)

yes, it is half a time between the first and second developer's release 
- so, guys, give us unlucky some spoilers :-)

Yes a nice screenshot of the new VID please. Anything, please..now...I 
begging you :-)

I better keep my mouth shut up, or I will be excluded even from second 
release :-))

http://www.rebol.cz/~cyphre/stuff/r3-alpha-splash.jpg:-P

that is old! :-)

OK, I can tell you one big secret.

The version now says V2.99.1.3.1 instead of V2.90.20.3.1

nooo! :-)

Satisfied? ;)

can you? watch out, or they will exclude you for the next release 
:-)

maybe I cannot but I already did :)

ah, 9 versions? so many bugs? :-)

No, VID work has not really started, yet. We want to get the foundations 
strong first.

No I must face the consequences :)

now

what do you mean by foundation?

view kernel?

datatypes, loading / molding etc..

There are examples with gobs flying around the place, but there are 
still some design questions with the render system so they ideally 
should be sorted out first before starting on a system which depends 
on it.

there are many alpha things to squash. actually it's quite boring 
right now. nothing interesting to look at.

what do you think by questions re design of render system? Low level 
stuff is not clear yet?

Pekr, there just has to be absolute certainty that low level things 
are working correctly and that nothing is missing before moving upward, 
so there is a lot of testing and scrutiny going on right now. And 
it's booring. :-)

I don't believe you :-)

well, I am glad guys you are there.

Pity Max is not there, as I think that as for low-level engines, 
he could put some designs ideas around ....

my impression is, that Cyphre is doing View kernel design, no? Or 
just plugging in subsystems? We miss some guys with gfx kernel experiences 
here :-)

petr, who tells you max is there or not? maybe he's not, or maybe 
he is but he does not want to say. :) same for others. you can be 
sure only about yourself. :)

And about me..
