hi and newbie problems executing chuck
by jesus gollonet 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hi all chuckers. This is my first message on this list. I'm jesus gollonet, a web designer and interactive developer living in barcelona. I've been following toplap's movements for the last four or five months and now am really interested in getting into chuck, but... I've downloaded the exe (for windows) and extracted it but it doesn't seem to work. When i double click it, an ms-dos windows appears just for an instant, and then nothing. At first i thought that i had to compile it using … [View More]

Re: [chuck] generative program, audio problems when sporking

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 yeah, I could put the samples up, but i'd rather not because they are very large. any files at all should work with minor tweaking, just swap out the string being passed as the name. the attributes are five-digit integers, ordered with the least significant (number 0) on the right - sorry I forget the technical name for this. for the purposes of testing, they really make no difference though. matt Michael Heuer wrote: | On Wed, 27 Apr 2005, … [View More]

generative program, audio problems when sporking
by Matthew Shanley 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've written a first version of a generative program. It's structure is based on a mixed metaphor of cell differentiation and plant growth. Much of this could obviously be better written once the next version comes out, but what I have works fine for the most part. You can find it at: http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/IvyTree Obviously I could use a little help editing this page, but I have a more important problem. When running this on OS X,… [View More]

returning values when sporking
by Matthew Shanley 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'm new to the practice of forking, and experimenting with it (well sporking) in chuck. I'm making a call along the lines of: spork ~ sporkFun(arguments) => int value; to a function: fun int sporkFun(arguments) {returs something in here} As I'm sure most of you know quite well, value doesn't get the return value from the function called by the spork, but rather the shred ID. That makes sense just fine and I can see lots of value in … [View More]

using emacs mode
by Matthew Shanley 15 Apr '05

15 Apr '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I'd love to use the emacs mode by Mikael Johansson, but I've never quite figured out the emacs settings. I think it requires in .emacs the line (setq auto-mode-alist (append '(("\.ck$" . chuck-mode)) auto-mode-alist)), but i think maybe at least one other line as well. Is this very familiar to others? Also being new to os x and emacs as a .app, I'm not sure where to place the chuck.el file. If anyone can help with these things it would be … [View More]

Long Now Chimes.app
by Joe McMahon 14 Apr '05

14 Apr '05

I've mentioned over on the ChucK wiki that I was working on an OS X application that used ChucK to ring peals of the Long Now Chimes. I've got a simple first-cut version up at http://ibiblio.org/emusic-l/LNC.dmg.gz for anyone who's interested. The project was done in AppleScript Studio, letting me have Cocoa user-interface widget without having to write the support code in C, and the audio is all synthesized in ChucK, to avoid having to learn the AudioUnit stuff. The interface is … [View More]

april chuck's day
by Ge Wang 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Dear All, Today is April 1st (since it's noon here, that should still be true for just about everyone), so technically, we are already late on our release 'date' of March. Our apologies. We are still in the testing/bug fixing/packaging stage of chuck-1.2.0.0, and hope to release something reasonable by this weekend. A quick status report - arrays are implemented and tested, objects are mostly implemented/tested. The only minimally essential 'showstopper' component we must complete is the … [View More]
