I have some code that allows you to cache incoming events (eg: from [netreceive]) and dispatch them all at once in 0 logical time. I called it [bundle] because of the vague similarity to OSC bundles.
Something like
"begin, foo, bar, baz, end" /* with arbitrary time between messages */ | [bundle] | "foo, bar, baz" /* all in 0 logical time, when 'end' arrives */
There are some issues (like 'list' vs 'notlist' messages, 'begin' and 'end' won't be stored, negative nesting count (too many 'end'), ...) but it might be a useful starting point.
I'd love to see that. (Was it attached, sorry?) I was wondering about something along those lines; in fact, had a conversation with a friend about how this is done with LED arrays, which involves some similar message structure.
- sends to names instead of outlet, which makes it much less flexible
Yes, indeed.
