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.

Big thanks to Steve! Fans of ChucK --shell check out rlwrap. try: rlwrap -r -f complete.txt chuck --shell with this sample completion file: Gain Noise Impulse Step Phasor SinOsc PulseOsc TriOsc SqrOsc SawOsc Halfrec Fullrect ZeroX Delayp SndBuf Pan2 GenX LiSa WarpTable CurveTable Gen5 Gen7 Gen9 Gen10 Gen17 BandedWG Blowbotl BlowHole Bowed Brass Clarinet Flute Mandolin ModalBar Moog Saxofony Shakers Sitar StifKarp VoicForm FM BeeThree FMVoices HevyMetl PercFlut Rhodey TubeBell Wurley Delay DelayA DelayL Echo Envelope ADSR BiQuad Filter FilterBasic OnePole TwoPole OneZero TwoZero PoleZero LPF HPF BPF BRF Dyno JCRev NRev PRCRev ResonZ Chorus Modulate PitShift SubNoise WvIn WvOut WaveLoop Blit BlitSaw BlitSquare UAna UAnaBlob Windowing FFT IFFT DCT IDCT Centroid Flux RMS RollOff true false me machine extends dac adc blackhole NetIn NetOut MidiIn MidiOut MidiMsg OSC_Recv OSC_Addr OSC_Send Later.
