Re: [PD] self-centering random walk

Hallo, Jamie Bullock hat gesagt: // Jamie Bullock wrote:

Two questions:

• What are the arrays for? Are they intended for some kind of mapping

after [random] ?

I guess they are just used to visualize the self-centering of the walking process

• Why do you use $0- for the subpatches, is there some reason why they

need to have names that are unique to the enclosing root canvas?

Claude is supercautious here, but it's a good habit IMO: Subpatches, like tables, create automatic receiver targets called "pd-NAME-OF-SUBPATCH". Using $0 here will make sure, that the receiver is local to the currently opened patch: "pd-$0-NAME".

Otherwise a message like:

[clear( | [s pd-NAME-OF-SUBPATCH]

issued from somewhere in your running Pd will clear ever subpatch with the same name, which might not be what you want.
