    jeremy, what's your intention behind the 
    app.scenes.set
    api?
  • a
    scene's are visuals, so i guess, you can treat a scene like pretty much like a rendering canvas?
  • a
    i just assumed such a feature would be for a camera, but i guess in ceramic it makes more sense to just have a separate scene
  • b
    @ambitious-knife-25690 
    app.scenes.set
    is useful if you want to stack multiple fullscreen scenes on top of another (you set the depth of the scenes accordingly to decide which is in front)
  • b
    And yes, a scene is mostly a visual that has a few additions: a lifecycle (preload/create/update), a fade in/out mechanic and the possibility to assign a 
    Filter
    to the 
    scenes.filter
    to apply a fullscreen effect
  • b
    There is a 
    Camera
    class in Ceramic, but it is more a tool to track player position and calculate the position of the content in which the player is
  • a
    ahh alright, that makes sense
  • a
    is there anything special about ceramic's 
    update
    loop?
  • a
    it seems like when I try to set 
    app.scenes.main
    from aidan's ecs, ceramic doesn't draw anything on screen
  • a
    the scene doesn't seem to start for some reason (no breakpoints or traces get called)
  • a
    I'm accessing 
    app
    via 
    App.app
    maybe that's why?
  • b
    simply 
    app
    should work (because 
    ceramic.Shortcuts.*
    is imported everywhere in the project
  • a
    yeah, i'm not sure what's going on here
  • a
    I can't seem to get a scene to render in this way
  • b
    I don't know how aidan's ecs work so can't say in that situation, but normally, as soon a a scene object is created and assigned to the scene sysstem, it should boot (call preload, then create etc...)
  • a
    that's what i thought, but in this case setting 
    scenes.main
    here doesn't call preload etc
  • a
    calling 
    App.app
    in 
    Project.hx
    works tho, so i'm confused
  • a
    odd 😕
  • a
    ahh lol, bad code nvm
  • a
    i had a class field called 
    active
    as well as a local var 
    active
  • a
    so main was getting set to 
    null
  • b
    😬
  • a
    Logger
    does not appear to be a part of the online api
  • a
    Ah, it's okay I shadowed 
    Log.hx
  • a
    I wanted to switch from file path to class name to avoid taking up the entire debug console line
  • a
    what is the purpose of this field? 🤔
  • a
    is it internal or can i use it? It's dynamic 👀
  • f
    So what's up with the fonts?
  • f
    how could i make one of those font files that ceramic uses without the excruciating agony of trying to make an actual font on windows?
  • b
    You can use it, it’s provided to attach user-defined data to entities
