[chuck-users] different classes and files talking to each other

[Julien Saint-Martin]

Hi Henrique and Welcome to ChucK world :o)

I think all you want to do is possible but their is different ways to do it
and limitations (but fortunately work around too!! )

Here is the method I use:
To centralize all my public classes, scripts and shared objects, I have a
top.ck file where I add each files in correct order with Machine.add()
command:

Machine.add ("tick_class.ck");
Machine.add ("beat_event_class.ck");
Machine.add ("beat_events.ck");
Machine.add ("play_tick_class.ck");
//Machine.add ("send.ck");
//Machine.add ("receive.ck");
Machine.add ("receive_tick.ck");
Machine.add ("rythm.ck");...



tick_class.ck is for example an extended Event class where I added some
extra info:

public class tick_event extends Event {

    int tick_nb;
    int is_meas_start;
    int is_super_meas_start;
    dur tick_dur;
}


One limitation of current chuck version is that you cannot have more than
one public class per file.


beat_events.ck contains another public class where static objects are
defined. There is a limitation here, you have to instantiate static objects
outside of class declaration. I use to do it in the same file as class
declaration:


public class beat_events {
    static beat_event @ ev1;

    static tick_event @ tick;

}

*tick_event Tick @=> beat_events.tick;
beat_event Ev1 @=> beat_events.ev1;
*



play_tick_class.ck : send Tick event with command
beat_events.tick.broadcast();
receive_tick.ck: Receive event with line:  beat_events.tick => now;



Have fun!
