Re: [chuck-users] Moving MAUI Buttons and What's Up with MAUI Porting?

Greetings fellow ChucKists, Inspired by Kassen's comments, I expanded that example that I posted of moving a button with the mouse. Now it is a complete little one-person Pong game. I posted it to the WiKi under Example Programs, and also to the forum. It's actually more like Breakout because the paddle is on the bottom of the window, not the side. Each time you hit the ball you score a point when it reaches the top and each time you miss the ball ChucK scores a point when the ball travels off the bottom of the screen. Naturally, I added some sound effects to make it complete. There is some ghosting if you move the mouse too quickly but otherwise it works like a charm. What is next, ChucK Quake? Les (Inventor)

Moving MAUI Buttons and What's Up with MAUI Porting?
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi ChucK friends, I made a ChucK file with MAUI that demonstrates moving a button on the view panel with the mouse. The source code follows: // experiment with mouse moving a button in MAUI // copyright 2008 Les Hall // This software is protected by the GNU General Public License // set up the view panel 400 => int x_max; 400 => int y_max; 1280 => int screen_width; 960 => int screen_height; MAUI_View mouse_view; mouse_view.size (x_max, y_max); mouse_view.position (screen_width/2 - x_max/2, screen_height/2 - y_max/2); mouse_view.name ("Click and drag the square button!"); mouse_view.display (); // create the button 200 => int x_pos; 200 => int y_pos; 60 => int button_size; MAUI_Button mouse_button; mouse_button.toggleType (); mouse_button.size (button_size, button_size); mouse_button.position (x_pos - button_size/2, y_pos - button_size/2); mouse_button.name (""); mouse_view.addElement (mouse_button); // create a dummy button MAUI_Button mouse_button2; mouse_button2.toggleType (); mouse_button2.size (x_max, button_size); mouse_button2.position (0, 0); mouse_button2.name ("Experiment with moving buttons"); mouse_view.addElement (mouse_button2); 0 => int device; Hid hid; HidMsg hidmsg; if (!hid.openMouse (device)) me.exit(); 0 =>int move_mouse; // infinite time loop while (true) { // wait on event hid => now; // loop over messages while (hid.recv (hidmsg)) { if (hidmsg.isButtonDown()) { 1 => move_mouse; } if (hidmsg.isButtonUp ()) { 0 => move_mouse; } if( hidmsg.isMouseMotion() ) { if (move_mouse) { // add the mouse movement to x and y positions hidmsg.deltaX +=> x_pos; hidmsg.deltaY +=> y_pos; // check lower limit on x if (x_pos < 0) { 0 => x_pos; } // check upper limit on x if (x_pos > x_max - button_size) { x_max - button_size => x_pos; } // check lower limit on y if (y_pos < button_size) { button_size => y_pos; } // check upper limit on y if (y_pos > y_max - button_size) { y_max - button_size => y_pos; } // move the button mouse_button.position (x_pos, y_pos); mouse_view.addElement (mouse_button); // delay to let system catch up 0.1::ms => now; } } } } I hope that's not too much source code to put in a post. Is this something intended, or a happy coincidence? Just thought I'd share. Pong anyone? Oh, and by the way, what's up with porting MAUI? I've been writing great fun stuff in MAUI including Guitar Lab and Synth Lab, and I'd like to share these programs with my friends who can't run MAUI. Thanks, Les

Hi Brad "variety is the spice of life", that's right! I didn't know rtcmix, it deserves a closer look. For now, I added it to the "other languages" forum.

codelab.fr, forum francophone pour ChucK
by emoc * 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

En français (désolé pour les envois multiples) Codelab.fr est un nouveau forum francophone consacré à la création d'images, de vidéo, de son et de musique par le code (chuck, processing, supercollider, livecode, pure-data / gem, vvvv, etc.) ou l'expérimentation électronique (construction d'interfaces et d'instruments, circuit-bending, etc.) Les logiciels et langages abordés sur le forum sont open-source (sauf vvvv, gratuit pour usage non commercial). C'est un espace de partage d'idées, d'entraide pour les utilisateurs de ces outils, et d'accueil pour les débutants qui pourront y trouver des conseils pour démarrer. Un forum annonces est également disponible pour présenter les manifestations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc. qui donnent une place à ces pratiques. For english readers (sorry for cross posting) : Codelab.fr is a new french speaking forum devoted to the experimental practices for creation of pictures, videos, sound and music by code (chuck, processing, supercollider, livecode, pure-data, gem, vvvv, etc) or electronic experimentation (interfaces and instruments, circuit-bending, etc.) The software and languages approached on the forum are open-source (except for vvvv which is free for a not-commercial use). It is a crossroads where users could meet and help themselves. Beginners are welcome, and will be able to find some advices and help to start creative code programming. A forum is also available to announce demonstrations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc for these practices. http://codelab.fr If anyone interested : a Syntaxhighlighter brush file was made to highlight ChucK code in web context (javascript client-side way), feel free to ask!

Re: [chuck-users] unsporking [bug?]

> @kas, i thought i tried that, but i might have gotten confused at the > "spork ~ my_fun() @=> my_shred;" line > > the online documentation says "spork ~ my_fun() => Shred @ my_shred;" > without declaring my_shred first, and this gives syntax errors. I think we may have a bug; the following compiles and the id is right but the shred doesn't die when it should. Quite weird. Kas. ---------------------------------- fun void foo() { .5::second => now; <<<"yeah">>>; minute => now; } spork ~foo() @=> Shred bar; second => now; <<<bar.id()>>>; second => now; bar.exit(); 2::second => now;

unsporking

I couldn't find this in a search, but I'm not exactly sure what it's called. I'd like to be able to unspork (despork?) a shred sometime after i've sporked it, based on OSC input. is there a convenient way to do this? thanks -k

Running Chuck without install on OS X?
by Alexander Refsum Jensenius 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, I have been testing out ChucK and SMELT on an undergrad class here lately, but one problem is that the students don't have sudo-access to the computers, and the admin people don't want to put ChucK on all the computers in all the labs... Is there a way to run ChucK from where it is, and without having to put it in /usr/bin/? Thanks, Alexander

Problem building miniAudicle (Linux)
by Mr.SpOOn 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

Hi, I am completely new to Chuck. I am trying to get it working on Linux Ubuntu 7.10. I installed Chuck with no problem, so when I type "chuck" in the shell, I get: [chuck]: no input files... (try --help) I followed the instructions for building miniAudicle, and now when I go in the directory wxw/ and type ./miniAudicle I get the following error: ./miniAudicle: error while loading shared libraries: libwx_gtk2_stc-2.6.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I think I have already installed the wx-widget. So, what am I missing? Thanks

A simple but amusing experiment in syntax. I'm not sure yet if it's actually good for anything but it's kind of interesting and it works so I thought I'd share. Cheers, Kas. ===============================================- class War extends Event { spork ~foo(); fun void foo() { while(1) { this => now; <<<"hello">>>; } } } War war; second => now; war.signal(); second => now; =========================
