Nice proposal Sunni! On the Mac the 3d window is a bit of a pain because it is a dock window so cannot be maximised easily and when you do resize it it tends to dock into the main window so it always makes it a bit clunky in demos. It would be really nice if it either replaced the main 2d map canvas or was possible to use it as a normal window instead of a dock widget so you can easily maximise it.
Oh and then please implement some kind of star wars tie-fighter vs x-wind chase through my neighbourhood game as an Easter egg in it :-) Regards Tim > On 01 Apr 2019, at 14:26, Ismail Sunni <imajimat...@gmail.com> wrote: > > HI Mathieu > > Regarding on-screen navigation, it'd be good to think of an implementation > that would work for both 2D as well as 3D map canvases when conceptualizing > the way ahead (I'm not suggesting you implement this as part of this GSoC > plan, just seeding the idea as it might shape way you move forward).
