Hi List -
This is my first post. I hope I'm not repeating old stuff, but reading the entire history of the list is a rather daunting prospect, so here goes. I'm running Pd 0.40.3 on Windoze (because I can't get the libraries to load on my lovely old G3 PowerPC OSX 10.3.9 box - but that's a separate issue). I have GEM 0.91.3 (CVS) I'm finding the documentation on the gemlist object a bit scant, and want to report that Pd hangs on the help patch for gemlist. The patch is attached. The first obvious problem is that the patch wants to destroy gemwin before it creates it. No sweat, change that, then run the patch, destroy gemwin, run it again and Pd hangs every time. I can only assume it's the gemlist object itself that is buggy, or perhaps the until object?
I have the same problem in the patch I am trying to build which must dynamically generate hundreds of circle objects. I am having quite a bit of trouble achieving this, but I'm sure it's just because I'm a newbie to Pd. I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. Thanks to all the developers for a really wonderful tool! Can anyone help with above problem? I'd also appreciate some pointers on how to dynamically generate hundreds, even thousands, of geos per frame - is the gemlist object the answer to this problem? I'm not entirely clear on how it works. The documentation doesn't seem to agree with the usage - specifically, what does the cold inlet do?
Thanks in advance Doogli
