If anyone could give me some pointers here, I'll be grateful: I KNOW: Python (decent), Pygame (medium), ChucK (n00bie), OSC (null) ZERO KNOWLEDGE: OSC ( I have NO idea what it is, except that it may be useful for interfacing two platforms on the same computer. I know there is a Python wrapper available, but I have no idea how to use it) I WANT: chucK to speak/listen to a python script in realtime. WHAT: The GUI is a game/visualisation in Pygame. It responds visually to messages coming in from a Chuck audio set ( is one of them a "server" type thingie?) and sends back new messages which manipulate the sound. They way the 'game' is played visually modifies the music. To put the problem simply: ChucK <<-->>OSC<<-->>Python? => ?? ------- -.- 1/f ))) --. ------- ... http://www.algomantra.com
