Hey, Kassen wins.
But, seriously, the page needs some updating. Under "what's new?" there are
examples listed that aren't listed in the examples page--not only that, but
one is misspelled! ("examples/array/array_dyanmic.ck"). So, basically, this
is exactly what I want to do, but it requires some spelunking gear and a
frustrating amount of time to figure out.
Also, there are a bunch of new UAnae, I see? I'm not really sure where to
go to see what they do, though. Hey guys, I like this language, but there
needs to be some serious documentation work, even to the level of "this
exists." If you (anyone) want, contact me off-list and I can work on it. I
don't really know what's going on with the programming thing, but I'm an
English major with good InDesign/web skills and could provide the site with
some updated pages. I'd love to be able to learn this stuff, just because
of the way that ChucK makes you think differently than, say, Max/MSP where
you just need a [notein] and you've got easy (boring) MIDI synths. Okay,
enough soliloquizing, get ChucKing.

Andrew;
Where is the documentation for this stuff?
The honest answer is probably "Scattered over /examples/, the manual, the online docs, the VERSIONS file and with the errata in the list archives", like all of the other docs. I feel we should consider this is a good thing; you'll have to look for a while but you'll also find all of these other things that are also nice and stimulating ;¬).
For arrays the best place right now is probably the VERSIONS file as the last update added significant additions, I think those are also demonstrated in /examples/arrays. (Second basement, bottom left corridor, up the stairs, third shelf, below the skull. Bring a candle and beware of the cat...)
You may want to beware as right now there are serious issues with arrays and the type system. I really hope we'll get a speedy fix for those; it used to be exciting to hunt for them but now it's been enough, I feel. It'd be nice if the DEV's could spare some time to comment on whether that issue (or those issues) have now been documented in sufficient depth to pinpoint and fix the cause.
Cheers, Kas. _______________________________________________ chuck-users mailing list chuck-users@lists.cs.princeton.edu https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/chuck-users
