chuck mode for emacs
by Kao Cardoso Felix 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hello folks, I've just discovered and started learning ChucK and It's very neat. As I'm an Emacs user I downloaded the emacs mode for editing ChucK files. It was rather old and was missing some functionality so I've made an update. http://bitbucket.org/kcfelix/emacsd/src/tip/my-lisp/chuck-mode.el I've changed the syntax highlight to be more consistent with how other languages are highlighted inside Emacs and added all keywords, types and library functions listed on the documentation. Class and method name highlighting is not working yet, but I plan on adding it soon. Code to run the ChucK VM as an inferior process inside Emacs was commented because it wasn't working before. I've made it work and changed some keybings. Now it work like this: C-c C-c inside a ChucK buffer will send the buffer code to the VM. If there's no VM process one will be created. C-c C-d remove a shred from the VM by a numeric id (is there other ways to identify shreds besides numbers?) C-c C-r replace a shred with the code on the current buffer. I also added support for easy customization for the path of the chuck executable, so you don't have to edit lisp code to change it. Well, I'm planning to update it frequently to make it better according to my use of it, but if there's anyone using Emacs for ChucK and want to give some advice it would be very nice :) []'s -- Kao Cardoso Félix Página pessoal: http://www.inf.ufrgs.br/~kcfelix Blog: http://kaofelix.blogspot.com

The ChucK Show
by Les Hall 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi all, Last week's show went very smoothly, including lots of me talking and playing guitar into ChucK effects pedals. Next week I will feature some more basic introductory vocal content about ChucK, such as the origins of ChucK, what you can do with ChucK, and introductory programming information. I think the show so far has been very technical and geared to the expert music coders and electronics buffs, so this change will hopefully address a broader audience. I also have one piece of new material, the song "onTheFly - Ben Zimmerman.mp3". Thanks Ben! I'd also like to mention that someone named Alphacore will be doing a show involving ChucK in some way on Thursdays at 5pm EST. The schedule is on the front page of www.electro-music.com and click on radio to hear the shows. Enjoy! Les (Inventor)

Thanks Stefan, Finally got it to work I deleted the chuck file out of /usr/bin Unpacked the chuck installer package, copied it to my applications. Then used this handy site ( http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/OSX_Install_and_Run) to install it again to my /usr/bin Now runs fine. Thanks guys for all the tips, Can't wait to get my head stuck in the Chuck code! 2009/6/27 <chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu> > Send chuck-users mailing list submissions to > chuck-users(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chuck-users-owner(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chuck-users digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Thanks Kas, And Andrew. I have an understanding of the Terminal. So that is not my problem. My problem is that when I try run chuck from the Terminal, I don't get anything, even when I try run a file ( >chuck foo.ck). But when I run the file in miniAudicle, it runs fine. When I am in the Treminal, and I type >Chuck (Thanks for spotting the > kas, was putting it there to represent the prompt). I dont get the [chuck]: no input files.... message. It just goes to another prompt, so I don't know if it is working correctly in the Terminal eg I get this: matchbox$ chuck matchbox$ If I log in under sudo, it does the same thing: sh-3.2# chuck sh-3.2# Then if I try run the foo.ck file, I don't get anything, but when I run it in miniAudilce, it runs fine. On the Mac, you can drag the file into the Terminal, and it gives the correct location to run the ck file, so I know it is pointing to the right path. p.s. here is the link to the Ge Wang vid I saw on the Apple site. Nice video. Really inspired me to try this application out http://www.apple.com/pro/profiles/slork/ Looks like they are using the Terminal. I like it how they are using the trackpad and motion sensors on the Macbook, to generate different sounds. I just got a Macbook Pro 3 days ago, and am rwally excited about trying the motion sensors and trackpad with Chuck. 2009/6/27 <chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu> > Send chuck-users mailing list submissions to > chuck-users(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > chuck-users-request(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > chuck-users-owner(a)lists.cs.princeton.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of chuck-users digest..." > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Trying to get start with Chuck on MAC - USING TERMINAL
by gary hiebner 27 Jun '09

27 Jun '09

Hi Everyone, I am new to Chuck. I saw Ge's video on the Apple website and am very interested in getting into Chuck as an audio tool for live performance. I seem to be having a problem getting it to run. I have tried going through the start up manual as it says, but keep getting the same error. I have added chuck to my usr/bin/ When I check through the /usr/bin I can see chuck there, so it has been added successfully. Then I type the >chuck in Terminal I don't get the [chuck]: no input files.... message i tried typing the command: > chuck // connect sine oscillator to D/A convertor (sound card) But just get the following error message: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' Is there something else I am not doing correctly? I have tried in miniAudicle, and everything works fine there, But would like to get this working from the Terminal. Thanks in advance for any assistance, Regards, -- Gary Hiebner SoundBase Productions cell: 082 877 6239 www.soundbase.co.za This message contains privileged and confidential information intended only for the person or legal entity to which it is addressed.

Thanks Rob! Silly me, I'd read the manual but didn't realize how exactly it works. Now it is more clear. Atte: Nice trick, thanks! It's a bit "aesthetically ugly" to do it this way, especially for more arguments, but it should the job.

crashing VM on (<string> != null) test?
by Robert Poor 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

I'm so baffled that this must be easy. What is the proper test to see if a string is null? More to the point, why does the following code bomb out on the conditional test? "foo.txt" => string g; <<< g >>>; // prints '"foo.txt" : (string)' if (g != null) { // evidently crashes here with "[chuck](VM) NullPointerException (during string op)..." <<< "not null" >>>; } else { <<< "is null" >>>; }
