Re: [chuck-users] chuck for live coding

I think what Ronni meant was that he's looking for a ChucK read-eval-print-loop, like python, irb, or even "php -a" (and of course the Lisp REPL). That way you could do something like start out by creating a UGen and issue a command to alter its properties at the command line. Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I think the ChucK compilation cycle prevents such a thing from existing on a language level, and the lack of an eval statement would make it impossible to allow you to execute arbitrary statements within a running shred. Can a ChucK script be written to take command-line arguments or read/write text to a file? You could potentially write ChucK scripts to take command-line arguments that modify static data that is being read from in a running shred. On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 1:08 PM, Stephen Sinclair wrote:

Yes,

see here: http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/ChucK/Dev/Shell

Mac and Linux try: %> chuck --shell in a terminal.

No completion or history though so get ready to type.

rlwrap -r chuck --shell

Much better. A proper completion file for rlwrap would probably help though.
