[01:24:40] <rsp> KittyCat: Have you ever written auto suggest loops?
[01:25:01] <rsp> like if the user types time it will display time, timestate, timefoo as results
[01:25:43] <rsp> It was fun to write it :)
[01:30:34] *** Walt_ has quit IRC
[01:46:51] <rsp> hahaha
[01:46:52] <rsp> wait
[01:47:08] <rsp> So there I was, done with my auto suggest function
[01:47:23] <rsp> I wanted to see the current rows of code

[12:45:25] *** nitrotrigger has joined #openal
[12:52:45] <nitrotrigger> how often can I change the source's pitch?
[13:02:28] <nitrotrigger> my game is running @ 100-300Hz depending on display settings
[13:02:43] <nitrotrigger> and I change the pitch at the same rate
[13:48:16] <KittyCat> running a game over 100hz isn't very useful
[13:55:16] *** juanmabc has joined #openal
[13:55:16] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v juanmabc
[14:22:59] *** juanmabc has quit IRC
[14:25:14] <nitrotrigger> KittyCat: updating screen is not very useful at 100Hz
[14:25:50] <KittyCat> updating the screen isn't useful beyond the monitor's refresh
[14:25:57] <nitrotrigger> I know
[14:26:01] <KittyCat> and updating the loginc past the video update isn't useful either
[14:26:05] <KittyCat> *logic
[14:26:09] <nitrotrigger> yep
[14:26:32] <nitrotrigger> but integrating the physics is useful at a gazillion Hz
[14:28:00] <nitrotrigger> and that's why I think I need to do some multithreading
[14:33:41] <KittyCat> I think the numbers I've heard is to update audio 30 times a second. anything more than that won't be really perceivable
[14:33:56] <nitrotrigger> you are probably right
[14:34:01] <nitrotrigger> *propably
[14:34:37] <KittyCat> just be careful if you start multithreading your logic
[14:34:44] <nitrotrigger> audio 30Hz, screen 60Hz (or whatever the Vsync rate), logic 60Hz, physics 10000Hz
[14:35:02] <nitrotrigger> using SDL for keyboard handling
[14:35:30] <KittyCat> if you're using fixed-rate logic, I'd probably pick 100hz
[14:36:08] <KittyCat> a clean 10ms between updates, and in case people have a monitor above 60hz
[14:36:57] <KittyCat> but it'll be very easy to degrade performance from all the locking and data syncronization than to just do it all single threaded.
