10 thoughts on jave

i love jave 2 as it is really a lot improved since the beginning.
there are great new features since the last release and once again i
had some ideas for the upcoming version of jave, things that could be
better or are entirely missing in my point of view.

antialiasing regarding the lightness of the characters


#####  "#####
  ###    "###
    #      "#

!!!!!  '!!!!!
  !!!    '!!!
    !      '!

ability to add own models to the 3d renderer
file format could be
pov ray format
3d studio ascii exported files wich contain the coordinates
or a simple format to write it yourself-- example:

lin(
10,5,0
8.5,10,0
10,10,-5
)

# makes a 3d line along the coordinates (X,Y,Z)
#
#     :
#     :
#    :
#    :
#    :
#   .'
#   :..''

surf(
10,5,0
8.5,10,0
10,10,-5
)

# makes a 3d surface along the coordinates (X,Y,Z)
# it will be closed automatically
#
#     :
#     :.
#    :::
#    :::
#    :::.
#   .::::
#   :::''

etc...

for complex models a graphical wireframe and once it's in the position
you like a button "render" and for easy models like the pyramid or the
jave logo a "autorender" option.

a tool making speech bubbles in different styles where you first type
the text like in the text box editor and then specify where the line
should go to


lastfuture old:

,-----------------------.
| blahblah lalala test! |
`-----------------------'
                   \
                    \____


,-----------------------.
| blahblah lalala test! |
| blahblah lalala test! |__/
| blahblah lalala test! |
| blahblah lalala test! |
`-----------------------'

lastfuture new:

 ,--------------------.
( blah blah text text! )
 `--------------------'
                \
                 `.___


 ,--------------------.
. blah blah text text! .
| blah blah text text! |
| blah blah text text! |
' blah blah text text! '
 `--------------------'
            |
             \
              '.

joaquim:

    blah blah text
      ,


taliszanna:

 .==================.
: blah blah text 123 ;
 "=============. ,=="
                \|
                 '

             .
             |\
 .===========' `====.
: blah blah text 123 :
: blah blah text 123 :
: blah blah text 123 ;
 "=================="


etc...

of course only if the artists agree with that.. (i do)
i'd especially like to see taliszanna agree with it cause her speech
bubble rules (sorry for snipping your sig, tali)

an enhancement in the textbox editor allowing the following things

   ,-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-.
   |   I love JavE   |
   `-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-'

   ,-----------------.
  <    I love JavE    >
   `-----------------'
   .-----------------.
 ,'                   `.
|      I love JavE      |
`-----------------------'

this could be done by defining patterns together with an x and y
offset

upper right corner
   -.
     `.

upper left corner
     .-
   ,'

etc...

could also include the speech bubble tool i mentioned above

if another character set is in use the tools could be adjusted to just
use the characters allowed by the character set instead of using them
all.

a freehand like

__,ooooooop
"""''''' 8b       _o88.           ,.
        ]8[     ,dP'78[          d8'   _________
        d8    ,8P'   8b  (8     d8'  ,d""""""""'
        8P   d8boooood8  `8b   d8'   J8'
__     ]8[  ,8'     `d8   Y8  dP    d8booooo.
"P8o.  d8   Y8       d8   `8b8P    dP'''''''
   `YPPP'            `P'   Y8P     8b
                                   Y8ooooooooooo
                                     '''''''''''

would then look like this when made during the use of german bank
statement charset

  ,
         8          88.           ,.
         8      , P 78            8
         8    ,8P    8    8      8   ,
        8P    8       8  `8     8    J8
        8   ,8      ` 8   Y8   P     8      .
 P8 .   8   Y8        8   `8 8P     P
   `YPPP             `P    Y8P     8
                                   Y8


or maybe jave could even try to replace them

for compressing a dialog box could show up like this:

 ,------------------------------------.

 |                   ,-----.          |
 |   drop 1 line all |   2 | lines    |
 |                   `-----'          |
 |  vertical                          |
 |                   ,-----.          |

 `------------------------------------'
