[17:03:23] <Lucifer_arma> Z-Man: I'm open to using a physics engine that includes things like collision detection and stuff, and for simplicity, using a headless version of whatever engine the client uses.
[17:04:01] <Lucifer_arma> I'm also open to retaining the C++ dedicated server in a prospective 0.6 release, since the vast majority of dependencies are all on the client side.
[17:04:15] <Lucifer_arma> Then focusing the 0.5 series solely on the client.
[17:05:26] <Lucifer_arma> Which brings us to the main disadvantage of pyqt5 is that it explicitly *does not* include anything resembling a physics engine.  The main reason I'm not terribly concerned about it is because a) we don't use any newtonian physics outside of simple kinematics, and b) I'm convinced that the collision detection in the server is already better for our purposes than anything in an engine
[17:06:03] <Lucifer_arma> that part b) represents code I don't want to lose in a rewrite, but it would be well worth considering the overall goals and structuring the collision detection differently/possibly better
[17:06:43] <Lucifer_arma> so a pyqt5 dependency actually becomes two dependencies, I believe.  One for the widgets and other cross-platform stuff, and one for a good 3d renderer
[17:07:37] <Lucifer_arma> most of the cross-platform goodness we get from qt5, specifically, can also be achieved from the python standard library, and any remaining stuff we generally get from any reasonable engine (HORDE, Panda, Godot, etc)
[17:08:30] <Lucifer_arma> Finally, I'm open to saying "fuck it" on the 0.4 series, going into beta with what we have, and moving on, but since I'm not (yet) in a position to break ground on any 0.5 series, and I assume neither are you, we're not actually in a position to do that (yet)
[17:08:49] <Lucifer_arma> (other than the obvious need to fix the cycle engine sound, that distortion is terrible)
[17:09:20] <Lucifer_arma> heh, maybe we should be having this conversation on the forums ;)
