Jarrod: /* Noisebridge Circle logos */

Our first logo was designed originally by the [http://quilted.org/ Quilted] cooperative. It has mutated since, as these things do. An additional design was by Jonas Frankki of Denmark in 2009.

= Colors =

Noisebridge enjoys the color red and black. If you [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-syndicalist_symbolism Google around] you might find some more information about these colors. The original version of our logo had a gradient for the background, and many epic wars were fought but none won to establish a single shade of red. The specific shade was established by [[User:mediapathic|mediapathic]] in December of 2008 when he produced version 2 of our logo.

The canonical red hex RGB color code is...

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; color: #000000; background: #ED1C24; border-style: solid; border-width: 5px; border-color: #000000;"
|#ED1C24
|}

(Even though...

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; color: #000000; background: #CC3333; border-style: solid; border-width: 5px; border-color: #000000;"
|#CC3333
|}

(aka Persian Red) is better and should be used whenever possible.)

= Suggestions =

While the color and concept is nice, the circuit is kind of ungrammatical. The little bumps on the top and bottom are used to emphasize that two wires are crossing over one another and not connecting --- but there's no other wire there for them to pass over.

A simple way to fix this would be to add a vertical line through the middle of the logo all the way to the edge of the circle; that would render the circuit grammatically correct, although it still wouldn't be a circuit that did anything useful, except perhaps convert a little sound into heat.

A perhaps cleverer idea would be to incorporate a "bridge" circuit into the logo. A bridge is a square with a diagonal, with things connected to the corners of the square not on the diagonal, and it's the simplest circuit that can't be decomposed into series and parallel subcomponents. A bridge rectifier with a speaker on the diagonal would be both a nice illustration of the name, and also might have interesting nonlinear audio effects (as an output stage, not as a noise generator itself) if you actually built it.

After some IRC discussion, I'm uploading a photo of a pencil sketch of a [http://physics.kenyon.edu/EarlyApparatus/Electrical_Measurements/Wheatstone_Bridge/Wheatstone_Bridge.html Wheatstone bridge] with an AC power source and a speaker in place of the galvanometer.

= A Few Ideas =
Got to playing with InkScape a bit today, and made a few noisebridge-themed things to consider.

The circuit in the first is an audio signal going through a bridge rectifier to a speaker, which I haven't built (yet), but which would have the effect of kicking the fundamental frequency up an octave and distorting everything. The wheatstone circuit above would fit this layout too. This one had the interesting unintended side effect of being shaped like a cartoon rocket. The other two are just pseudo-oscilloscope buttons showing noise, keeping to the shape and color scheme of the current logo with a simpler theme. I uploaded these as pngs for easy web viewing, but if anyone wants the svgs to play around with let me know.

2019-01-30T18:05:05Z

Jarrod: /* NGA and NGALAC Typeface */

{{nga}}
[[Category:Games]]
[[Category:NGALAC]]

We've created a number of graphics for the [[Noisebridge_Gaming_Archivists|Noisebridge Gaming Archivists]] and the [[NGALAC|Noisebridge Gaming Archivists Live Arcade Cabinet]].

Of course, we are all welcome to create whatever graphics we like, but if we want to keep our graphics characteristic of the NGA / NGALAC image, here are our guidelines and downloadable assets.

These guidelines are for NGA and NGALAC related graphics. When incorporating more general Noisebridge logos please use the typical red / black logos or some other variation, to help differentiate. The Noisebridge Red / Black color scheme should not be used for NGA / NGALAC graphics, but instead reserved for general Noisebridge logos. The idea is that the NGA is a sub entity within Noisebridge and which supports the larger space and community. NGA related graphics should, somehow, reflect that relationship. For Noisebridge logos and Identity see [[Identity]].

=== General Notes and Primary Colors ===

NGA graphics should draw inspiration from retro gaming and retro (1970's- 1980's) future aesthetic.

The NGALAC cabinet is inspired by 1970's - 1980's modern/future design. In comparison, NGALAC related graphics should be more specifically inspired by a "dark mode" TRON aesthetic.

|NGA - Dark Blue
|style="background:#071B2D; color:#ffffff; font-family:monospace;" |#071B2D
|7,27,45
|93,78,53,66
|This dark blue is used for backgrounds for graphics made using the NGA - Light GreenCyan and as a text color for printing on white backgrounds. NGA graphics should tend toward "dark mode" but never be grey or completely black. They should always stay somewhere in the blue / cyan color palette.
|-

|52,0,13,0
|This light cyan with a touch of green hue is used as the primary basis for all graphical elements over the NGA - Dark Blue. Such as the text and graphics on the NGA logo. This should be the default color for the majority of NGA graphics.

|231,246,253
|8,0,0,0
|This white with a touch of cyan hue should be used for highlights and emphasis in conjunction with the NGA - Dark Blue and the NGA - Light GreenCyan. It should be used sparingly where the other two colors are not enough to convey the mood or idea of the graphics.
|}

=== NGA and NGALAC Typeface ===

The NGA logo uses the ISOMORPHIC typeface by Louie Mantia and is available from crowntype.com.
https://gumroad.com/l/isomorphic
The license is $5 and maybe used for non-commercial uses. As a free alternative for personal use there is the TR2N typeface by Jeff Bell. However, there are relatively important differences in these typefaces for the B and G characters which make ISOMORPHIC a better choice for the NGA logo.

[[File:Isomorphic.JPG|center|480px]]
 

The NGALAC logo uses ALIEN ENCOUNTERS SOLID by ShyWedge and is freely available as freeware on several font websites. Note that the non solid (striped) ALIEN ENCOUNTERS is not used for NGALAC text.

[[File:AlienEncountersSolid.JPG|center|480px]]

For either NGA or NGALAC related body text, Helvetica is preferred and Arial is acceptable.

=== NGA Logos ===
 

[[File:NB-Gaming-Archivists-Logo-Glow.png|left|200px]]

This is the Noisebridge Gaming Archivists default logo style for digital and print applications (paper, stickers, posters). This one has the glow appearance around the text.
 
 

[[File:NB-Gaming-Archivists-Logo-Flat.png|left|200px]]

This is the non-glow version of the NGA logo, for use in graphics and contexts where the glow won't display or print well or a cleaner more minimal aesthetic is desired. For example lower resolution graphics or small prints.

=== NGALAC Logos ===
 

[[File:NGALAC-Alien-dark.png|left|400px]]

The NGALAC dark logo is the default logo and follows the "dark mode" aesthetic of NGALAC graphics. It should be used anytime control of the background color is available, such as digital and full color printing contexts.
 
 

[[File:NGALAC-Alien-light.png|left|400px]]

The NGALAC light logo is good for print on white backgrounds where it is not possible or practical to use the dark logo. That being said, it is also more formal, if formality is desired.

Abstract -

'''To use NGALAC: 1. Power it on 2. Load a game and get a feel for the controls 3. Turn on the livestream 4. Turn it off when you are done.'''

More specific direction on how to do this and known issues are in the sections below.

== Power On/Off ===
[[File:Ngalac-externaltemppowerswitch.JPG|right|400px]]
The current process of turning NGALAC on and off is to connect or disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Everything inside NGALAC should be setup to turn on automatically. Once power is connected the raspberri Pi should load retropi for the games and the PC should load windows and start OBS.
 
 

* '''Known Issues:'''

[[File:Ngalac-internalpowerswitch.JPG|right|400px]]
** The interior power switch might have been turned off. To access it, open the lower rear panel and look in the lower "Stage Right" corner. for the bottom of the large grey power strip. When there is power to the strip, there should be a red LED light shining
 
 

== Select and Play Games ==

[[File:Ngalac-retropie.JPG|right|400px]]
[[File:Ngalacgameselect.JPG|right|400px]]

'''''How to you select and start games????'''''

NGALAC runs an emulator called RetroPie. To move through the menus for game and system selection use the joysticks.

The LAUNCH function is mapped to the bottom YELLOW button on the player one side.

The BACK function is mapped to the bottom GREEN button on the player one side.

If you press the SELECT or START buttons and bring up the "Options" or "Main Menu", press the same button again to exit the menu.

While a game is running, you can get back to the System/Game selection window by pressing GAME SELECT and SELECT (on the player one side) at the same time.

 
 

* Known Issues:
** SNES controls are not configured currently
** N64 games don't all work well with the emulator

== Current control setup ==

Please edit this page accordingly if you make any changes to these key mappings!

How to read:

A "dash"(-) character represents an unmapped button.
P1 means player 1, P2 player 2, so on, etc...

'''Using Controllers'''
[[File:ControllerPortButtons.jpg|right|300px]]
To use a controller, first ensure all buttons above all ports are in the 'off' state. It is currently difficult to tell what the 'off' state is, but it is when the button is sticking out of the panel further upon pushing it.

After all controller ports are off, plug in your controllers and turn on the ones you want in the order you want them assigned to players. So, the first one turned on should be "player 1". The second one turned on should be "player 2", etc..

You may notice the Sega Genesis ports have just 1 activation button between them. This button, when turned on, will enumerate the next two players for those ports. Pretty sure the left one will be enumerated first, then the right.

''Tips''

"showkey -a" will let you see ascii keycodes for use with N64 control mapping

== Livestreaming and OBS ==

[[File:Ngalac-OBSstart.JPG|right|300px]] OBS Studio ( https://obsproject.com/ ) is used to collect all of the sources from NGALAC and send them to Twitch/Youtube. When NGALAC starts you should see the screensaver that plays when NGALAC is not streaming on the upper screen. If this is the case you should only need to press the green "Push to Stream" [Livestream] button on the NGALAC console
[[File:Ngalac-livestream.JPG|right|300px]]

Once you push the Livestream button the stream will connect and you will see the OBS broadcast profile showing what people watching the stream will see. Also the "On Air" lights will flash and turn on solid. It takes about 7 seconds for the live stream to start on twitch. The livestream will be at twitch.tv/noisebridge

There are cameras installed to show you, the player(s), and the control panel. There is also a microphone above the Livestream button.

To stop the stream, push the livestream button again. The screensaver should turn back on and the "On Air" signs will turn off.

'''Please remember to push the livestream button to end the stream when you are done streaming'''
 
 

* '''Known Issues:'''
[[File:Ngalac-keyboardtray.JPG|right|300px]]
** You will only see the chat from twitch.
** The chat doesn't always work, sometimes closing and reopening OBS fixes this, but this stops the live stream button from working. If you need to restart OBS use the keyboard and mouse to control the PC under the joystick panel. You may need to click the mouse and then press escape to get OBS out of full screen mode. Then in OBS click stop stream and then exit.
[[File:Ngalac-stopstreaming.JPG|right|300px]]
** You have access to the OBS settings, but please don't change anything. We've tested everything pretty well so please leave things as is. If you want to help improve things, please connect with the NGALAC team; ask around. However, you may want/need to switch OBS to full screen mode. There is a keyboard and mouse to control the PC under the joystick panel.
 
 
** [[File:Ngalac-OBS-windowed.JPG|right|300px]]OBS is set to start up full screen but this often doesn't work, sometimes you'll end up with OBS in windowed mode with a command window in front of it (the command window is a by product of the script running the live stream button).
*** To switch OBS back to full screen Right Click in the empty grey area next to the preview of the broadcast scene and choose "Fullscreen Projector (Preview) > Display 0:1920x1060 @ 0 0. This will switch OBS back to full screen mode. It is much easier to read the chat and seen the camera views in this mode.
[[File:Ngalac-OBS-fullscreen.JPG|right|300px]]
 
 
** [[File:Ngalac-OBS-DevProd.JPG|right|300px]] OBS should be set to use PRODUCTION as a default. We use two twitch accounts twitch.tv/noisebridge for our streaming and twitch.tv/ngalac for testing. You can switch between the two in OBS using the "Profile" menu. DEVELOPMENT streams to twitch.tv/ngalac and PRODUCTION streams to twitch.tv/noisebridge and also youtube. The twitch.tv/noisebridge account has the most followers and is the one we promote, so please us that one if you want to share your gaming with our followers.

'''Using Controllers'''

To use a controller, first ensure all buttons above all ports are in the 'off' state. It is currently difficult to tell what the 'off' state is, but it is when the button is sticking out of the panel further upon pushing it.[[File:ControllerPortButtons.jpg|right|300px]]

After all controller ports are off, plug in your controllers and turn on the ones you want in the order you want them assigned to players. So, the first one turned on should be "player 1". The second one turned on should be "player 2", etc..

You may notice the Sega Genesis ports have just 1 activation button between them. This button, when turned on, will enumerate the next two players for those ports. Pretty sure the left one will be enumerated first, then the right.

''Tips''

"showkey -a" will let you see ascii keycodes for use with N64 control mapping

== Livestreaming and OBS ==

[[File:Ngalac-OBSstart.JPG|right|300px]] OBS Studio ( https://obsproject.com/ ) is used to collect all of the sources from NGALAC and send them to Twitch/Youtube. When NGALAC starts you should see the screensaver that plays when NGALAC is not streaming on the upper screen. If this is the case you should only need to press the green "Push to Stream" [Livestream] button on the NGALAC console
[[File:Ngalac-livestream.JPG|right|300px]]

Once you push the Livestream button the stream will connect and you will see the OBS broadcast profile showing what people watching the stream will see. Also the "On Air" lights will flash and turn on solid. It takes about 7 seconds for the live stream to start on twitch. The livestream will be at twitch.tv/noisebridge

There are cameras installed to show you, the player(s), and the control panel. There is also a microphone above the Livestream button.

To stop the stream, push the livestream button again. The screensaver should turn back on and the "On Air" signs will turn off.

'''Please remember to push the livestream button to end the stream when you are done streaming'''
 
 

* '''Known Issues:'''
[[File:Ngalac-keyboardtray.JPG|right|300px]]
** You will only see the chat from twitch.
** The chat doesn't always work, sometimes closing and reopening OBS fixes this, but this stops the live stream button from working. If you need to restart OBS use the keyboard and mouse to control the PC under the joystick panel. You may need to click the mouse and then press escape to get OBS out of full screen mode. Then in OBS click stop stream and then exit.
[[File:Ngalac-stopstreaming.JPG|right|300px]]
** You have access to the OBS settings, but please don't change anything. We've tested everything pretty well so please leave things as is. If you want to help improve things, please connect with the NGALAC team; ask around. However, you may want/need to switch OBS to full screen mode. There is a keyboard and mouse to control the PC under the joystick panel.
 
 
** [[File:Ngalac-OBS-windowed.JPG|right|300px]]OBS is set to start up full screen but this often doesn't work, sometimes you'll end up with OBS in windowed mode with a command window in front of it (the command window is a by product of the script running the live stream button).
*** To switch OBS back to full screen Right Click in the empty grey area next to the preview of the broadcast scene and choose "Fullscreen Projector (Preview) > Display 0:1920x1060 @ 0 0. This will switch OBS back to full screen mode. It is much easier to read the chat and seen the camera views in this mode.

** [[File:Ngalac-OBS-DevProd.JPG|right|300px]] We use two twitch accounts twitch.tv/noisebridge for our streaming and twitch.tv/ngalac for testing. You can switch between the two in OBS using the "Profile" menu. DEVELOPMENT streams to twitch.tv/ngalac and PRODUCTION streams to twitch.tv/noisebridge and also youtube. The twitch.tv/noisebridge account has the most followers and is the one we promote, so please us that one if you want to share your gaming with our followers.

Abstract -

'''To use NGALAC: 1. Power it on 2. Load a game and get a feel for the controls 3. Turn on the livestream 4. Turn it off when you are done.'''

More specific direction on how to do this and known issues are in the sections below.

== Power On/Off ===
[[File:Ngalac-externaltemppowerswitch.JPG|right|400px]]
The current process of turning NGALAC on and off is to connect or disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Everything inside NGALAC should be setup to turn on automatically. Once power is connected the raspberri Pi should load retropi for the games and the PC should load windows and start OBS.
