Dominos!

June 19, 2008 | by Tuller | Tags: bongos, dominos

So one day, I came to the following conclusions:

  • I'm not the target audience for Bongos3. A 10 bars, 12 button each setup just feels better in my head.
  • ButtonFacade, StickyFrames, and LibKeyBound now exist. I should see how much I can do with them.
  • It looks like the stock action button code is at a point where I can use it. I should see how much I can do with the code, especially since I have less time to code now than before due to work/social life/etc.
  • I've had the idea of writing a Bongos2.5 in my head for a while: Bongos2, but with some of the tricks I've learned from writing Bongos3.

And with those things in mind, I wrote Dominos, and I'm really happy with the results. Its actually an entertaining project to work on due to my restriction of maintaining as much compatibility with the stock action buttons as possible.

Its not all fun, though. I'm effectively abandoning Bongos3. If someone wants to take up the reigns on the project they can. If I ever come back to it, it will be to rewrite the thing as an infinite action button addon. Its what I really intended the thing to be.

So far, no one has really yelled at me for doing this, which I'm a bit surprised about. I think people will, once they realize what has happened on the first patch day that Bongos3 really breaks. Who knows, that might not happen until Wrath.
