EFFECT_ON actually turn on? #151

Open NoSloppy opened 1 month ago

Should these toggle the power state on and off? EFFECT_ON EFFECT_FAST_ON EFFECT_OFF EFFECT_FAST_OFF

Good question. My gut feel is "no", because it's confusing to send an effect and have it do more stuff. But then we might need to add new UI for "fast on", what would that look like?

Hard to say really because it's just an audio thing, right?. What it currently does with the power button pretty much is FAST ON as far as not playing preon. Maybe the preon and postoff should be played if those layers exist and power is clicked? Then Fast on/off would bypass them like in real life?

Ultimately (and my brain is going there now) it probably would be pretty cool to have audio accompany the visual. Even if just one font from the default package was used. But of course that opens the door to allowing users to choose a local path to a font, using that, and so on. Fett263's Library has audio integration. It brings thinking about a whole world of possibilities of emulation, real time swinging via motion sensing/transmitting... but reeling it in back to Earth for the moment, maybe just start with tagging preon and postoff onto the power sequence?
