Welcome, everyone, to another sprint. As we push forward in our project, the challenges we conquer as a team, absolutely amaze me.  With that being said, lets get started :).

Does anyone have any comments, questions, or concerns about the agenda they are assigned too?  If you need your agenda defined better or you're not sure where to start, please post on the kanban discussion any questions and we can start figuring it out as a team.

@Team Has anyone tried to download the game and play it?  Its in the project section on the right under latest builds.  Can anyone download it and see if it works?

Thanks,
James Fleming

Just tried the game. As per conversation with @James, it shows the scene with the tank, but it also throws socket errors.

@Team I've been having people test our software to make sure it runs on non team member computers.  Given the link below we will only be supporting windows 10 and up.  Windows 8 mainstream support ends Jan of next year.  Once we have this out we will worry about xbox and ps4.

@Team Good morning teammates!  We have updated the home page for this project.  Tell your friends to come have a look.  They can download the current installer of the game and see the awards you’ve earned with your hard work!

@Anthony How is the event firing agenda coming along?  Do you have any source code I can look at?

Thanks,
James Fleming

@Tessa Do we need this agenda anymore?

@James
Yes we do.  The Exit Interview email has been completed.  The Welcome email still needs to be looked at.  I will accept that agenda now. 

@James

I haven't started it. Our project is in UAT this week and it's been super hectic. I'll take a look this weekend.

@Anthony Ok we can get together Monday I have to work all this weekend anyways so I'll not be around until then.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James sounds good, I will have a lot more free time after this week so I'll be around a little more if you need to get together on anything

@Team After this sprint I will put a message together with our direction for the team in detail so we can go to beta by December see if anyone has any other idea. Tessa and I will also go over our operation plan too to get this game out the door. This will let everyone weigh in if anyone has any other ideas.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James since we still have 9 days left in the sprint, can we try to get Dustin an agenda and contributing right away?


  - Anthony Michelizzi

I will get more writing done on Monday and tuesday, which is my my weekend.

@Matthew Thank you we will be around Monday all day if you want to get together.  I'm booked solid through the weekend.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@Team

We have begun keeping active Facebook and LinkedIn accounts.  If you have a chance, have a look at our latest posts and feel free to share with your friends!

@Anthony TFS says it missing the file ClickDetection.cs can you check it in please.

Thanks,
James Fleming

@James, Looks like somehow it didn't make it on the check in. I switch computers and get it up there

Things went way sideways for me the past couple of days. I'm sorry. We will make a meeting.

@Team We are trying a new feature out can I have anyone try to modify the following link and tell me what happens.

@Anthony Will you give a brief overview of what you are doing in this method for me please.

private void Raycast(Vector2 screenPos, CameraComponent cam, Simulation sim)
        {
            Matrix invViewProj = Matrix.Invert(cam.ViewProjectionMatrix);

            Vector3 sPos;
            sPos.X = screenPos.X * 2f - 1f;
            sPos.Y = 1f - screenPos.Y * 2f;

            sPos.Z = 0f;
            var vectorNear = Vector3.Transform(sPos, invViewProj);
            vectorNear /= vectorNear.W;

            sPos.Z = 1f;
            var vectorFar = Vector3.Transform(sPos, invViewProj);
            vectorFar /= vectorFar.W;

            var result = sim.Raycast(vectorNear.XYZ(), vectorFar.XYZ());

            if (result.Collider == null)
                return;

            Log.Log(new LogMessage("Raycast", LogMessageType.Info, result.Collider.Entity.Name));
        }

Thanks,
