Chunity (ChucK for Unity): Release!
by Jack Atherton 29 Jul '22

29 Jul '22

Dear all, Hello! I'm happy to announce the initial official release of Chunity (ChucK for Unity)! http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/ http://u3d.as/1bvM Chunity is the integration of ChucK in Unity. (For those of you not familiar with the Unity game engine, Chunity gives you the ability to do realtime sound + music generation natively in Unity, tightly coupled to interactions with graphical objects.) You can use most (possibly all?) ChucK features, run new ChucK code on-the-fly at any time, and communicate between Unity and ChucK using "global" (new keyword!) ints, floats, strings, Events, and 1D int and float arrays. (More types to come!) You can even run multiple VMs that share the same strong timing! Check out this video of things people have already made with Chunity: https://vimeo.com/263613454 And check out the original description of Chunity in this NIME paper: http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/files/2018-nime-chunity.pdf We want to know what you all do with this! Please feel free to send works in progress, bug reports, feature requests, finished works, etc. to the chuck-users mailing list! We are also planning to send a sparse series of follow-up emails covering tutorials, new features, and cool projects that people in the community have created. Please see the tutorials, documentation, etc. at the official Chunity website: http://chuck.stanford.edu/chunity/ Thank you and happy ChucKing!! Best, Jack + the ChucK team Music:Computing:Design @ CCRMA

GenX ugen doc issue
by Forrest Cahoon 18 Sep '18

18 Sep '18

At http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/program/ugen_full.html#GenX, there is a reference to RTCmix which uses an obsolete link so some sort of half-forgotten documentation (redirects to http://sites.music.columbia.edu/cmc/RTcmix/). The current doc is at http://rtcmix.org/ but it appears that the makegen command is now obsolete. The closest I could find is http://rtcmix.org/reference/scorefile/maketable.php , the apparent replacement, which contains a broken link to an old makegen page. Not sure it matters, but it should probably be cleaned up. I personally appreciate the link to RTCmix because I'd never heard of it before, but it could probably be made to not be a link, or simply removed.

I'm giving a clinic on ChucK in DC, two questions:
by Charlie 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

hey y'all, I'm giving a clinic on ChucK for beginners here in DC in January. Anyone have any experience with this, any advice, pedagogical materials? I have a pretty good idea of the general outlines as I gave a clinic at the innovation lab at work (closed to the public though). Also do you know if I can use the ChucK logo for the event? Not sure if it's copyrighted. Cheers, Charlie My live coding page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkrw4sARyqsmFKkyJA_okhQ

I wrote a book!
by Ge Wang 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Friends, ChucKians, artful designers, lend me your ears! For the past three years, and thanks to a Guggenheim Fellowship, I have been quietly working on a new book about design and technology, art and life. The book -- ARTFUL DESIGN: TECHNOLOGY IN SEARCH OF THE SUBLIME (A MUSICOMIC MANIFESTO) -- explores design as the intersection of art, engineering, and philosophy. It breaks down computer-mediated instruments, tools, games, and social experiences in everyday life, and elaborates 100+ tacit principles of artful design. It's all in there: ChucK, laptop orchestras, Ocarina, video games, wacky computer music interfaces, audiovisual design, and a whole lot more. Published by Stanford University Press, ARTFUL DESIGN was created entirely in the medium of a (full-color, 488-page) photo comic. This is a book for anyone who has ever been curious about how we shape technology, and how technology shapes us. It's nerdy. It's philosophical. It's a core dump of my brain in comic form. And it's coming out next week. See for yourself: https://artful.design/ The chapters: https://artful.design/chapters.html Pre-order the book now, and it will be at your doorstep next week! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1503600521/ https://artful.design/buy.html Do you know anyone else who might be interested in this book? Please share this with them! Keep on ChucKin’ -- and I'll see you in the book!
