Re: [chuck-users] chuck shell...

David, You could try just making a single file with lots of Machine.add commands. I mean, it won't run automatically but it's way easier than typing in 20 individual files. Don't know about your tablet, and the HID thing isn't especially well-documented. The Mouse HID clearly won't work because it's build entirely on deltas, unlike the HID for SC or something. Just finished digging through the source, and looks like we have joystick, mouse, wiiremote, keyboard, and tiltsensor. I wonder how hard it would be to just make a tablet addition.

I thought I should add a bit of detail here. In order for any of my compositions to work I have a library of 20 ChucK source files which need to be loaded. As far as I can tell, the Mini just doesn't have a good way top do this. What am I missing?

In terms of the mini interface I actually think it is very clean and easy to use which makes learning to use it and ChucK much easier in my opinion.

Well for myself, I just don't grok the mini at all. It seems to me that there really needs to be some kind of incremental (read shell-like command line) interface somewhere, so that I can change parameters on the fly. I'm sure that I just don't understand how y'all do it.

But what I really want is a module where I can map my A4-size graphics tablet to different sound controls. I think it would be really cool to print out a sheet of paper describing my parametric layout and be able to use that for dynamic expression in high-level ChucKing. And no, just using the mouse HID isn't quite enough - I want the tablet to be like an instrument independent from what is happening on my monitor (hence the printout overlaid on the tablet).

Any takers?
