pass arguments without the pesky colons
by N. Cameron Britt 10 Aug '08

10 Aug '08

Don't know if this is useful to anyone, but here's a little Perl script that allows you to pass arguments to Chuck separated by spaces rather than colons. Run this and let Perl run Chuck for you with properly formatted arguments. Should be in the same directory as the Chuck file you're trying to run. #!/usr/bin/perl my $args = join(":", @ARGV); $cmd = "chuck YOUR_CHUCK_FILE.ck" . ":$args"; #print "$cmd\n"; exec($cmd); Run with a command something like this: ./arg.pl arg1 arg2 arg3 etc I could imagine something like this being expanded into some sort of on the fly programming front end, to pass arrays of pitches for example.

me.numArgs() broken?
by N. Cameron Britt 06 Aug '08

Is me.numArgs() broken? This code taken from the concurency/shreds page of language specification: // print out all arguments for( int i; i < me.numArgs(); i++ ) <<< me.arg( i ) >>>; returns this error: "class 'Shred' has no member 'numArgs'"

Will more info on this "MIR" concept be available for the geographically challenged as well? I'm becoming really interested in analysis of incoming signals (not just audio but also patterns and structures in other forms of realtime input like HID) but this is hard stuff and any help would -well- help. :¬) Yours, Kas.

Re: [chuck-users] WiiMote Support
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 26 Jul '08

Osculator does WiiMote to OSC (I've tried it on the Mac, wasn't too hard to get working), but maybe you want something built into ChucK itself? http://www.osculator.net /Stefan Stefan, Thanks, that's another piece of the puzzle, but yes I was looking for something built into ChucK itself. I will make do with Osculator as best as I can. I run into certain problems with external software like what version of OSX does it require. Oh? that means a $130 upgrade and a $100 disk, no I can't do that, etc... But soon I will have a Linux box and that will help things. Are there any plans to provide built-in ChucK support for the WiiMote and like devices? Les

WiiMote Support
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 26 Jul '08

26 Jul '08

Hi folks, I know the DEV TEAM is overworked to the max with releases and features and bug fixes and all that jazz, but this is a thing that has already been started I think. There was supposed to be some exploration on Spencer's part perhaps of native ChucK WiiMote support, or so I heard. I was just wondering where that effort drifted off to. I am in need of a WiiMote solution for Mac and/or Linux. For Linux I can use nescivi's code so that's cool, but I dunno about mac. Any advice or web links? I just gotta swing my guitar like an axe and make cool sounds like that! Les

time and truth (bug?)
by Kassen 24 Jul '08

24 Jul '08

Dear list, Considering that this is valid; if (now) <<<"yay">>>; if (second) <<<"hurray">>>; I feel that this should be valid as well; if (now && true) <<<"this won't parse">>>; However, it isn't; ChucK complains the "&&" operator can't be resolved on time and int. This is a issue as well; if (second && true) <<<"This neither">>>; of course we could go... if (second) if (now) if (true) <<<"this is silly but runs">>>; ...but that looks a bit primitive. Yours, Kas.

sample rate defaults (jack)
by Tristan Matthews 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hi, I'm using ChucK with jack (compiled with makefile.jack). I was wondering if there's a way to set the default sample rate for chuck to be 44100, rather than 48000. I could change this guy: digiio_rtaudio.h:58:#define SAMPLING_RATE_DEFAULT 48000 // sampling rate but I thought I'd see if there were other options. Even better would be having an option to get the sample rate from the jack server. Best, Tristan -- Tristan Matthews Société des arts technologiques [SAT] email: tristan(a)sat.qc.ca web: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~tmatthews

All, Has anyone been able to get version 1.2.1.2 to work on 64-bit linux, without 32-bit compat libraries? It builds fine for me but seg faults on nearly every example. michael

ChucK Lab Video
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

Hi Spencer et. al., Here is a video under 15 minutes of me making music with ChucK Lab, which is basically an explosion of MAUI filling the screen and making cool music. The link is here: http://www.freedomodds.com/music/ Just look at the first section underneath the introductory paragraph for the link. Warning it is over 70 MB. Plus I got the levels wrong and you can barely make out my voice. But aside from that it's cool. Les p.s. I might make more ChucK videos.

USB Accelerometer Product Coming
by Inventor-66＠comcast.net 19 Jul '08

19 Jul '08

Hi, For all us HID-heads, I thought I would mention the new product that I'm helping to develop. I was gonna make a 3-axis accelerometer on a USB interface. When I approached the company that makes the USB interface, I suggested they might want to make such a product for their product line. They replied with excitement, and a new product was born! I am not sure of its exact form down the road but they have the technology to make this product any way we want it to be. I figure a single 3-axis accelerometer plus their standard 8-I/O gamepad / joystick interface on a board the size of a stick of gum. Wrigley's will be proud. So please be aware that coming down the river is a new, hopefully inexpensive, HID part for us all to enjoy. Cheers! Les
