Teasing me or forgot to this change?

The song select screen is too much of a mess atm to push a test release. I have also made netcode changes which will require a Bancho split, which will get nothing but complaints from the so-called "testers" out there. You'll have to wait patiently.

You can blame me for that; me and my authenticity obsession. =/

BTW, I don't think you should make the notes shake. Just the background (not video), the ki bar, and possibly the score.

THANK YOU

Just as a side note (didn't quite know where to put this), taiko autoplay should start by hitting the right side of the drum instead of the left?
...and auto will miss the first beat if it's on the first beat of the song

Starting work on opengl - feature additions may be slow over the next week or so.

Here is a teaser: opengl on the left, direct3d on the right.


Note that gameplay works correctly at the moment, but many direct3d functions are still being relied on - the most important one being slider drawing. In order to port osu! totally, there is still much work to do on shader replacement, and input handling.

wow peppy i cant believe open gl is finally underway!!

(*) Moved progress bar - does it feel better?

Also check out my mini-project streaming radio @ http://rajio.ppy.sh

(*) Moved progress bar - does it feel better?

Original was better. You could easily see how far into the song you are, now you need to actively look away from the playing area and it disturbs playing. Earlier it was easy to see even in pretty hard spots of a map.

I have to say I prefer it along the bottom as well.

Seeing as someone is going to ask for a toggle anyway, why not make it a 3 way toggle instead? none/bottom/bottomright

That sounds like a viable solution. Argh another toggle though -.-.

What have you got against toggles? Are they hard to program, or do you just hate doing them?

C'mon peppy! you're awesome, i'm sure you'll get hte opengl up and running in no time!

depends on when i fix the one bug with it. opengl works on over 50% of PCs but textures display as white blocks on others. unfortunately its not so easy to debug as it works on all my pcs :/. i'll probably have it ready for public release this weekend though.
