Hi there:
I have been messing around with Pd's internal message for a bit and I came
up with this patch. Its a bit like a editor for objects/patches (best
description I can think of).
It essentially allows you to dynamically (re)create/delete objects/patches
while keeping a object count. Because of this, it creates objects into rows
and columns so you can see what's been created/deleted and it looks nice.
You can also specify the space between each object and the number of objects
allowed per line.
My idea is to develop this into a performance tool and each of the patch
that's been created are designed as autonomous agent or something like that.
I have tried it with very simple dsp abstractions and it seems to work ok.
There are many problems that I can see if I am taking this further, but this
is step one.
Anyway, I hope some one you might find this interesting and take a look at
it and give me some feedback as to how things can be better put together.
And perhaps work on it together.
Apologies if its a bad practice to put long patch text on the list, please
let me know and I will behave myself;)
Cheers
CHUN
Just remembered something that I forgot to comment in the patch, if object
you are creating takes more horizontal space, remember to increase the space
parameter so that each object don't overlap.
