Dominos!

So one day, I came to the following conclusions:

  • I'm not the target audience for Bongos3. A 10 bars, 12 button each setup just feels better in my head.
  • ButtonFacade, StickyFrames, and LibKeyBound now exist. I should see how much I can do with them.
  • It looks like the stock action button code is at a point where I can use it. I should see how much I can do with the code, especially since I have less time to code now than before due to work/social life/etc.
  • I've had the idea of writing a Bongos2.5 in my head for a while: Bongos2, but with some of the tricks I've learned from writing Bongos3.

And with those things in mind, I wrote Dominos, and I'm really happy with the results. Its actually an entertaining project to work on due to my restriction of maintaining as much compatibility with the stock action buttons as possible.

Its not all fun, though. I'm effectively abandoning Bongos3. If someone wants to take up the reigns on the project they can. If I ever come back to it, it will be to rewrite the thing as an infinite action button addon. Its what I really intended the thing to be.

So far, no one has really yelled at me for doing this, which I'm a bit surprised about. I think people will, once they realize what has happened on the first patch day that Bongos3 really breaks. Who knows, that might not happen until Wrath.

    Makes me sad to see bongos go... each (but few) times it broke it killed me to reset it for my alts. Its so addictive! giving Dominos! a chance though. GL and hope things work out for the best :)

    I'll follow you to Dominos. I can't stand patch day breakage... Buh-Bye Bongos [tear].

    Keep up the good work, Tuller!

    /cry. please at least do one more update on bongos to make it for 3.x. I've been trying to like Dominos on the beta but it's just not what I'm looking for. I can go to other addons if need be, I just tend to like yours better.
