hallo frank,

Do you have any example for what exactly you want to do? I've never
heard of this "fluke" thing and searching the web for that term
yielded no useable results as fluke is a common word.

fluke should be the translation for the german word "zufall". maybe coincidence is the better word for this.
i want to generate surfaces, tables, boxes, geometrical forms in strobo speed style. this objects be generated through coincidence algorythms. so for example i have 4 boxes which change the color and the size every frame per coincidence.

Gem can generate graphics at the usual 20/25 fps, which already is
much faster than a club stroboscope - and it's much faster than
loading websites, too.
 
i will check Gem, sounds that this is what i need.

Popular choices for scripting languages in Pd include Lua and Python.
Both can (be made to) talk to network services over a socket
connection or even http. You can also use Java with pdj, if that
suits you better, or Scheme etc.

my choice would be python, but i think maybe Gem is mighty enough to do what i need.

thanks a lot
regards
robert
