[Cuis-dev] Let’s change everything

[Casey Ransberger]

Hey Juan!

You were doing some stuff experimentally with the video hardware everyone has in their pants now. 

I *really* want to create a sort of holiday for people who love twisty puzzles, starting with the classic Rubik’s Cube. Like, I have a few algorithms that I’m focused on memorizing, but other people should be able to chase their own algorithms. 

I’d love to help create a dictionary of speedcubing algorithms and all you have to do if you want access to a community-built set of hard-earned algorithms, is just read and participate. 

I want some 3D graphics in Cuis, but we don’t need much: just enough to make use the platform that every speedcuber resorts to when everything else has gone to hell in a hand basket. Just a way to think about what went wrong while you were landing the world record. 

I know that your focus is vector graphics, but there are some 3d things I think we need to at least think about. 

I’m going to be the fiercest human who ever defended cubing as a legit sport. 

Here comes my name!

You can see that what I did was to make the full window border sensitive, and I made it scale with UI scaling (defined by World / Preferences... / Set System Font...). I think this is a good solution. A preference for wideWiindowBorders, to ease using the UI with a finger in a touch device makes sense to me.
