Hello Jack, WebChucK is very cool! Is there some way I could deploy a version of this with the LiCK library (a bunch of .ck files and an import.ck file that Machine.adds all of them) included in the virtual file system, or better yet loaded at ChucK VM initialization? Thank you, michael

Web ChucK has existed since last September, but only in Chrome: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/webchuck/ https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/webchuck/ For a while, Chrome was the only browser that had implemented the WebAudio Worklet standard.

It seems like Firefox has implemented the standard in May ( https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/05/high-performance-web-audio-with-audioworkl... https://hacks.mozilla.org/2020/05/high-performance-web-audio-with-audioworkl... ), but WebChucK hasn't started working in Firefox as a result of those changes. It's possible the implementation is subtly different and more development will need to happen for WebChucK to work in Firefox.

I've done some initial check online of running ChucK wrapped in javascript, and this github page is the latest activity I can find https://github.com/aknuds1/chuck https://github.com/aknuds1/chuck.

I thought it best to check with the user community if 1) there are further developments on running ChucK in the browser 2) if the av setup I'm considering has been done before so I could perhaps link in and learn from others 3) if there are better setups that I should be following...

Thanks and kind wishes micheal

Oh that sounds great! Thank you. I can write a script to create a single-file "minified" version of the LiCK library to use. michael

Hi Michael,

You can deploy a page in a way that loads a bunch of files into the file system and runs them when the VM is initialized. See preloadfiles.js and theChuckReady.then() (in host.js) below. One problem you might hit -- if I remember correctly, creating subdirectories in the ChucK virtual file system is broken. So, all your virtualFilenames will likely need to be at the top level of the directory.

https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/ https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/ https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/js/preloadfiles.js https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/js/preloadfiles.js https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/js/host.js https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~lja/timbre-library/js/host.js

(For an example of the directory shenanigans:) { serverFilename: './chuck/voicebank/intqueue.ck http://intqueue.ck/', // hierarchy ok on your webserver virtualFilename: 'intqueue.ck http://intqueue.ck/' // hierarchy not ok in the virtual file system },
