    ok I will do that now
    Makkornall
    @makkornall_twitter
    No noticeable change.

    Oh well, no quick fix then. I'll try a few more things tomorrow.

    @makkornall_twitter
    Fair. Let me know if I can help.

    OK, I've released a new snapshot (version string is identical, you might have to append changing() to the dependency for sbt to redownload). There is some chance this will work already or print out some new info. If not, I'll need to get a bit more information (ideally a video of the graphics). Are there any patterns (or lack thereof) in terms of what objects are drawn on each frame? (E.g. some objects might always/never be visible, and there may be some kind ordering where some object is always visible when another one is visible.) When it does draw objects, are they rendered correctly or are they distorted in some way? I've also added two new methods to TheGameMaster, lowFPS() and forceGL2() which will start a game with specific graphics settings that could reveal something interesting.

    No change. I uploading a movie of the graphics in action. Perhaps that will help.

    Hmm, thanks for the vid. One more thing you can try is to pass the -XstartOnFirstThread argument to the JVM.
    Makkornall
    @makkornall_twitter
    Same with the JVM argument
    Though I have seen this now:

    WARNING: Concurrent render calls!
    exiting...

    Exception: sbt.TrapExitSecurityException thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"

    @cswinter
    Does the warning print only once at the beginning, or continuously? I'll to try to replicate the issue on a VM now so I can actually do some methodical debugging.
    Makkornall
    @makkornall_twitter
    Only once

    As a temporary workaround, I set up a template that shows how to compile using Scala.js and run CodeCraft in the browser: github.com/cswinter/codecraft-js-template
    I should be able to get my hands on a Mac in a few days, hopefully that will allow me to find a proper fix.

    Very cool, I will check that out today.
    Makkornall
    @makkornall_twitter
    Worked great.

    Glad to hear!

    The mothership keeps count of the number of harvesters with a numHarvesters integer property. In the harvester onDeath, I want to decrement that count. If I do Game.mothership.numHarvesters -= 1; it says numHarvesters is not defined. How do I access that numHarvesters property if not this way? Is there a better pattern for deprecating the count? Can I use chrome developer tools to debug? I cannot seem to find the source in developer tools.

    @cswinter
    @barrybecker4 Hmm not quite sure what's going on there, that sounds like it should work. The JavaScript version is honestly kind of wonky. It would have been nice to emulate something like screeps.com which has a much nicer setup, but I never got around to it. I don't think there's actually a good way to debug in JavaScript right now, basically the code is from the editor is evaled to create raw JavaScript functions which are then called by the game so the browser doesn't have a good way to access the source :/ You should still be able to run code from the Chrome console to test things out.

    Is the Watch -> Replays page supposed to be blank? I just found CodeCraft and am having a great time experimenting, but I wanted to watch some replays of interesting games.
    Clemens Winter
    @cswinter
    @magneticflux- Glad to hear you're enjoying CodeCraft! It seems like replay submission is currently broken, I'll take a closer look on the weekend. You might want to check out http://codecraftgame.org/demo which allows you to set up and watch games with different AIs and maps.

    @magneticflux-
    Okay, thanks for the quick reply! I'm having the most success playing against the singleplayer AI or against myself (written in Scala), but I can also connect two multiplayer clients through the public matchmaking system. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone to play against. I'll try to get some friends interested to liven up the scene a little bit! Additionally, this seems similar to the game Screeps, but I like the self-hosted nature of CodeCraft rather than having to pay a subscription to Screeps.

    @cswinter Should the @volatile var rendering = true property of RenderFrame.scala (line 34) be initialized to true? It appear that that causes the "WARNING: Concurrent render calls!" to be printed at least once every time the client starts up.
    Clemens Winter
    @cswinter
    Yeah I'm not sure there have ever been any multiplayer games run that weren't tests I ran, so getting some people together is probably your best shot. One thing I had been thinking about to overcome the critical mass problem was to keep your code running and queuing up for matches in the background but saving all the results and replays to watch afterwards. I won't be adding any new features to CodeCraft for now, but if you find anything that's actually broken feel free to create an issue or pull request on github and I'll look into fixing it.
    You're probably right on the rendering variable. I think it was just for debugging so shouldn't actually affect anything, but logspam is never good.
