Sorry Scott :( Anyway, sure let's have a chat in a couple of weeks, in the meanwhile I'll have a look at the tool Spencer shared.

FLOSS Manual update
by mario buoninfante 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi, I just added 2 chapters (and updated an existing one), to the ChucK FLOSS manual (https://en.flossmanuals.net/chuck <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.flossmanuals.net%2Fchuck%3F…>). * Array Object Functions * String Object Functions * Other Objects Reference (added FileIO and SeriaIO) There's still 'some' work to do to make the FLOSS manual really comprehensive, but we'll eventually get there Next step would probably be a bit of text formatting. Especially in the various 'reference' sections, there are too many 'styles'. Just a quick note about the FLOSS manual and ChucK documentation in general. What I always found difficult (especially at the begin of my adventure with ChucK), was the fact the the documentation wasn't centralized. There are plenty of places on the internet where you can find bits and bops, but none is really comprehensive (some are outdated, some just incomplete, and so on). I believe ChucK is now mature enough and needs a fully comprehensive (and official) documentation. The FLOSS manual could help with that (my personal opinion, open for discussions :) ). Wouldn't be easier if there was THE place where all the documentation is? Looking forward to hearing from you. In the meanwhile, give me a shout if you wanna help with the FLOSS manual, there's still plenty to do :P Cheers, Mario -- Electronic Musician, Creative Coder, QA Engineer https://vimeo.com/creativecodingsalerno http://mbuoninfante.tumblr.com/ https://github.com/mariobuoninfante https://bitbucket.org/mariobuoninfante/

Re: [chuck-users] Date and Time (Mario)

Very interesting question, and I don’t know. In case the answer comes back no tho: I’ve done this by launching with the start time in a command line argument. Then added “now” to that to get current time.

Hi, Is there any way to get date and time in ChucK? I was hoping for something that's not Std.system(). Cheers, Mario

Re: [chuck-users] Chuck Coding Style (Charlie)
by Perry Cook 01 Apr '19

Perhaps the Chuck Book might at least provide good examples. I don’t know of a formal style guide. I think we authors, while differing from each other, generally use OOP conventions we brought from C++, Java, (and myself) Objective C and Smalltalk.

style manual for coding? (Possibly off topic)
by Charlie 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

hey all, sorry if this is off topic but I'm starting to realize that my haphazard coding style is becoming a problem, as I build a live coding practice based in ChucK. I'm wondering if there is a "Strunk and White" for coding covering stuff like indentation, naming conventions, when to use a function or class for something, etc etc. My formal training in coding is limited to a FORTRAN class that I took in the 1980s at the Department of Agriculture but I've done some stuff in C, so a book oriented around C or C++ would probably work. Thanks in advance! Charlie

issue adding elements to an array
by Mario Buoninfante 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Sorry, this is the right code that shows 'the issue': function static void insert_1( string array[], string x, int pos ) { string mom_arr[0]; if( pos < array.size() && pos >= 0 ) { for( pos => int c; c < array.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr << array[c]; } x => array[ pos ]; array.size( array.size() + 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < mom_arr.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr[c] => array[ c + pos + 1 ]; } } else if( pos == array.size() ) { array << x; } } function static void insert_2( string array[], string x, int pos ) { string mom_arr[0]; if( pos < array.size() && pos >= 0 ) { for( pos => int c; c < array.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr.size( mom_arr.size() + 1 ); array[c] => mom_arr[ c - pos ]; } x => array[ pos ]; array.size( array.size() + 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < mom_arr.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr[c] => array[ c + pos + 1 ]; } } else if( pos == array.size() ) { array << x; } } ["a", "b", "c"] @=> string s_1[]; insert_1( s_1, "ONE", 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < s_1.size(); c++ ) { <<< s_1[c] >>>; } <<< "" >>>; ["a", "b", "c"] @=> string s_2[]; insert_2( s_2, "ONE", 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < s_2.size(); c++ ) { <<< s_2[c] >>>; }

issue adding elements to an array
by Mario Buoninfante 28 Mar '19

Hi, I suspect I'm probably doing something stupid and just not realizing it, but I don't understand why these 2 functions ("insert_1" and "insert_2") are giving me 2 different results: function static void insert_1( string array[], string x, int pos ) { string mom_arr[0]; if( pos < array.size() - 1 && pos >= 0 ) { for( pos => int c; c < array.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr << array[c]; } x => array[ pos ]; array.size( array.size() + 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < mom_arr.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr[c] => array[ c + pos + 1 ]; } } else if( pos == array.size() ) { array << x; } } function static void insert_2( string array[], string x, int pos ) { string mom_arr[0]; if( pos < ( array.size() ) && pos >= 0 ) { for( pos => int c; c < array.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr.size( mom_arr.size() + 1 ); array[c] => mom_arr[ c - pos ]; } x => array[ pos ]; array.size( array.size() + 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < mom_arr.size(); c++ ) { mom_arr[c] => array[ c + pos + 1 ]; } } else if( pos == array.size() ) { array << x; } } ["a", "b", "c"] @=> string s_1[]; insert_1( s_1, "ONE", 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < s_1.size(); c++ ) { <<< s_1[c] >>>; } <<< "" >>>; ["a", "b", "c"] @=> string s_2[]; insert_2( s_2, "ONE", 1 ); for( 0 => int c; c < s_2.size(); c++ ) { <<< s_2[c] >>>; } It seems like expanding an array with '<<' instead of using .size(int n) is giving me some problem. I'm on MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 Cheers, Mario
