VFD segment displays in HTML/CSS for my SimPit

So I dunno if you know what a #VFD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display) is but I’m a sucker for these – at least virtually.

Games like #RebelGalaxyOutlaw perfected the look and this is where I want to go with my #Arwes HUD app for my #EliteDangerous / #X4Foundations home cockpit too.

The segment displays are heavily inspired by #AugmentedUI project (https://augmented-ui.com/) where I’ll borrow some more elements. Learned the neat fake scan lines from there too. And yes the 8 segment display works by shifting bits under the hood 🤓 This isn’t really needed for an app but I have plans to add some real segment displays eventually (I do have a whole box full with these!) so I wanted to know how to implement this anyway.

Video from an earlier stage in the development demos the scan line effect.

The bars are configured with parameters in size, count, percent, colours and thresholds 😁 I also added a random chance of 5% to shift the hue a little bit because just as in real life nothing is perfect.

And yes they are fully themed so switching the colour theme also affects the virtual VFDs.

I’m also going to replace the older horizontal bars, that look way too boring in comparison.

It’s still very early but I hope to get some rad animations going too. See https://www.hudsandguis.com/home/2022/retro-digital-dashboards to get an idea in which direction this is going 🤓

I bought Outlaw when it debuted as an Epic Game Store exclusive -- that's how excited I was for it -- and I wasn't disappointed.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a 3D space combat game.

As Juno Markev, the opening animated cut-scene finds your ship shot down by the man who killed your husband.

You now need to work your way back up by running missions to earn credits to upgrade and buy new ships, to (I assume), take revenge on the man who took your husband's life, and tried to kill you too.

One of the niceties in the dogfighting is the ability to lock on and follow a target. Had I played the tutorial before the game, knowing this, as well as how to fly the ship, may have saved me from a premature death.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw might be next up after I finally finish Chorus, because it's:

On Monday I played some #RebelGalaxyOutlaw with the little one. She’s doing alright with the delivery missions already. Only helping some with the pew pew, like shacking off rockets.

@Lyrilith
#RebelGalaxyOutlaw definitely has the best Soundtrack of all of these.
I sometimes leave the Mainmenu open just to have that Space Bar feeling.

I really enjoy the vibe of #RebelGalaxyOutlaw, though I could do with fewer space fights and more hauling.

Reminded me of #Privateer and #Freelancer, two fantastic space trading & trucking games with story elements.

Bagged #RebelGalaxyOutlaw on GoG today and had a blast. Needed some fiddling to get my X52 Pro up and running since the game only supports one Gamepad but that's nothing that would stop my #LinuxGaming 😂

Guys. Even if you are not playing #RebelGalaxyOutlaw, you need to be rocking the soundtrack. Seriously. Best game soundtrack in ages. Someone is putting it together on Spotify. Check it out: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3S65od8O9WgE21Q49ZEIkm?si=hXj6JVfaQ-if0lKGJbyzCA

Gorram it, this game is sexy! #RebelGalaxyOutlaw

Okay. Just based on the music and the feel of the menu screen, this is exactly down my alley. Time to heat up some pizza, crack a beer and settle in for a great Friday night. 😍 #RebelGalaxyOutlaw #AimToMisbehave
