<DIV>Hi Colton.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, wouldn't classify myself as a guru, but I have programmed in chuck a
fair amount, and am also blind, so I totally get your frustration!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What kind of things are you wanting to do with it? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The most frustrating part for me is no gui support - not in terms of
integrated development environments, but for the running chuck program itself.
Apparently, audical can be used as a GUI for the running chuck program as well
as development. I tried two approaches to solve this, neither vary optimal:
using chuck events to listen to keyboard directly and then build a simple set of
single character commands. For instance: up/down arrows to adjust a value and
tab to tab among parameters. All output was simply written to the standard
output which the screen reader would read, most of the time...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>the second used a node.js server to communicate with chuck via OSC (open
sound control), and with a web browser. The browser ran the GUI which allowed
tabbing among parameters and changing values, and the server would turn messages
from the program running in the browser to OSC commands which chuck could act
upon. This was better, but in my opinion has too many moving parts as it
were: too complicated...</DIV>

it's Colton. I am a 15 year old boy in the US, and I am blind. ChucK <BR>has
been the only audio language I can pick up and use, thanks to it's <BR>command
line support. The mini audical is completely unusable, just like <BR>other ides
for things such as super collider. I do have some questions <BR>about chuck, and
I was wondering if anybody still used this thing that <BR>would be willing to
answer. I need a
guru!<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>chuck-users mailing
