Atluxity |
If this is a more long term thing then I might help, I'll start by lurking |
|

SketchCow |
At least a few weeks, likely a month plus. |

|
00:47
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Sure, although I find your use of this channel never seems to be quite the right place. |
|
00:47
🔗
|
SketchCow |
But I am all for you shaking trees all over. |
|
00:48
🔗
|
VonCloud |
well, i can't think of any other channels where people would know about old softwarre |
|
00:48
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Is this the EFF thing? |
|
00:48
🔗
|
VonCloud |
it's hard to find software historians |
|

SketchCow |
The podcast thing? |
|
00:48
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Or another? |

|
00:48
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Ah, well, go ahead. |
|
00:48
🔗
|
VonCloud |
but it is invalidating software patents with prior art |
|
00:48
🔗
|
VonCloud |
well, i'm looking for an interface where you click on a UI item, and a set of other buttons come up. You then mouse to the other buttons, and let go of the button to select your choice |
|
00:49
🔗
|
VonCloud |
like FPS circular gun choice menus on 360 shooters |
|
00:49
🔗
|
VonCloud |
needs to be prior to 1997 |
|
00:50
🔗
|
VonCloud |
also looking for prior to 1997, a system for notifications of communication from various bandwidth levels and sources, that can show the notificaitons in an ordered list that can be reordered |
|
00:50
🔗
|
DFJustin |
there's #classiccmp on freenode |
|
00:51
🔗
|
closure |
VonCloud: sounds like pie menus, which were iirc a thing pre-1997 |
|
00:51
🔗
|
DFJustin |
the ui thing sounds pretty analogous to classic mac menus |
|
00:52
🔗
|
VonCloud |
oh? |
|
00:52
🔗
|
VonCloud |
nice channel! |
|
00:53
🔗
|
VonCloud |
yeah i was thinking that DFJustin |
|
00:58
🔗
|
DFJustin |
I feel like point and click graphic adventure games would be a good place to check but I can't think of one offhand |
|

|
xmc |
VonCloud: that sounds like an obvious extension of mac os 5 style |

Baljem |
Open Look supported hold-drag-release for its menus too: http://cmd.inp.nsk.su/old/cmd2/manuals/unix/slu/html/ch24.htm#Heading22 |
|
01:16
🔗
|
Baljem |
that's what, 1988? |
|
01:17
🔗
|
Baljem |
trying to remember if RISC OS had the same convention with its middle mouse-button for menus, or if it was click-and-select |
|
01:33
🔗
|
joepie91 |
VonCloud: should probably point out that on many Linux-ish things, this has afaik been a possibility for quite some time now (right click, move to item, release) |
|
01:34
🔗
|
joepie91 |
not sure since when |
|
02:30
🔗
|
yipdw |
VonCloud: Maya's done something like that for a while |
|
02:30

although the action menu can be summoned with spacebar, too |
|

There were some adventure games you held things down on. |
|

VonCloud |
that adventure game thing is great |
|
04:34
🔗
|
DFJustin |
unfortunately you can't tell from youtube if it's a click and hold or a multiple click |

patent invalidation |
|

turns out, full throttle invalidates a patent! |
|
06:29
🔗
|
joepie91 |
hehe |
|
06:40
🔗
|
DFJustin |
the bandwidth level one I don't really understand your description |
|
06:45
🔗
|
DFJustin |
also how did you zero in on full throttle, out of curiosity |
|
06:46
🔗
|
DFJustin |
never did play that one myself although I have a lucasarts magazine spread on it around here somewhere |
|
12:04
🔗
|
dashcloud |
VonCloud: now that you mention Full Throttle fits the description, Curse of Monkey Island might also fit- it came out in 1997, and definitely had the click, menu pops up, select something, let go |
