list of keywords for syntax coloring
by Your Name 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Hi, chuckers. I've recently began chucking again. By now I use http://www.jedit.org as my all-purpose editor, and I've seen it as a good fit for chuck (configurable syntax highlighting, abbreviations which make typing faster, command-line integration...). I'm working on an edit mode for it to enable syntax coloring and, as I 've seen that now the miniAudicle features it, I'd like to be as consistent as I could with the way it treats keywords, ugens, constants and everything, ... So I was wondering if there is a list of keywords or something which i could take advantage of (at the moment i'm just copying from the reference and adding format up to me). I haven't found anything in the wiki... Thanks a lot. -- jesús gollonet http://www.jesusgollonet.com/blog/

Re: [chuck-users] [chuck] chuck-1.2.0.6 released (also miniAudicle)

Ge Wang wrote: > chuck-1.2.0.6 (dracula), a minor release, is now available: Unfortunately this release doesn't work with my in-progress system written in chuck. I have the following (heavily snipped): public class timeEvent extends Event{ } public class Time { static timeEvent quarter; fun static void send(){ while(true){ "length of quarter note" => now; Time.quarter(broadcast); } } } This mean that I can have the following (not snipped, this is a complete .ck file, extremely compact and elegant) for four-on-the-floor: while (true){ Time.quarter => now; spork ~ Instruments.analog_bd(); } Now, running the new release I get: [time.ck]:line(34): cannot declare static non-primitive objects (yet)... [time.ck]:line(34): ...(hint: declare as ref (@) & initialize outside for now) Where line 34 is exactly: static timeEvent quarter; Could/should I really change my code to work with this release, following the above suggestion? In any case, I'd rather not clutter up things, I think (at this point) the old way of doing things was fine. Besides I have 9878 lines of chuck code in my system, so not to confuse things... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quartet: http://www.anagrammer.dk http://www.atte.dk/gps | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions

miniAudicle working directory?
by Ollie Glass 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

I'm using miniAudicle to develop Sequencer.ck. It's beautiful, thanks! When I run it, I'd like the working directory to be the directory the .ck file is in. Is this possible? Ollie

Question about OSC and Network Connections
by Mike McGonagle 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hi all, I was in the process of testing some code that I have that is using OSC, and in these tests, I got an error from ChucK saying that a port was busy and it could not connect. This was because I had another process running (dumpOSC from the OSC site) on that port. This seems normal in that ChucK complained about this. My trouble is that once I stopped the dumpOSC process, ChucK still would not connect to that port AND it didn't give any warnings or error messages saying that it would not connect. The only way that I was able to connect was to restart ChucK. I am not quite positive if just restarting the Compiler (using miniAudicle [latest]) would have been enough, as I restarted the whole program. Once I did this, my code worked fine. Is there a way that ChucK could be made to NOT fail when these things happen? It seems to me that this would be in line with the "on the fly" concept. I would think that ChucK should be able to detect, at any time, if a port was in use or not, and return the appropriate error message, or connect if it is unused.

warning: new chuck (bug fixes)
by Ge Wang 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Hi! We are about to release new chuck/miniAudicle/audicle (announcements will be sent to [chuck] and [audicle]). It still won't have garbage collection or string manipulations, but several of the known long-standing bugs have been fixed, including multiple declarations, sporking member functions, ++/--, miniAudicle fixes, and more undocumented audicle features. Garbage collection will require several wide-area changes, and we would like to get a relatively stable pre-gc version of things out. If you like, test things a bit and let us know, once the new versions are out. So uh, stay tuned. This is only a warning. Thanks! chuck team

variable of type function
by Atte André Jensen 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hi Is it possible to have a variable of type function? If so, could someone provide a link to where I can read about it or a short example showing how it works? Will it work with overload definitions? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://www.atte.dk | quartet: http://www.anagrammer.dk http://www.atte.dk/gps | compositions: http://www.atte.dk/compositions
