thanks to La kitchen and Ircam, Nicolas will work on pmpd for the next 4 mounths. He is an Ircam student doing is train at La kitchen.
He will focuss on the pmpd object, tring to make it more usable, make some exemples, and try to make the integration with data structure.
if time allows it, he will also work on pmpd~.
Great news. I'm really using pmpd stuff a lot currently, though my stuff is not performance ready at all yet, but I hope to get something done for the Linux Audio Conference in April. Yes, I definitely will come up with some ideas or "feature requests" then.
I also will try to clean up some of my patches, which already incorporate data structures in some applications. For example I have a "physical structure editor" in the works, which so far is still a bit very confusing.
The basic idea there is, to design a physical structure using data structures for masses and links, where thickness of the structures corresponds to weight or damping, and then parse this and create the pmpd-network out of it. I used dynamic messages and dyn~ for the network so far.
It somehow works already, but creating and drawing the connections is still an unsolved problem. Currently I use float ids (drawnumber) at the link's endpoints to specifiy, which mass is to connect to a link, but I want to try some kind of more automatic collision detection next. Then a link, whose end hits a mass in the data structure display, is automatically read as a link connected to that mass.
But I'm babbling, I'll let patches speak later. ;)
