Welcome back to PD land!
There are several new libraries that you might want to look into--ELSE, Ofelia, and Context (I'm doing a little self promotion with the last one). But IMO the more important thing is getting up to date with changes in Vanilla.
[text] and [array] are new Vanilla objects which replace [textfile] and [table] respectively. They might not feel natural to someone coming from Extended, but once you get used to them they will improve your patching immensely.
[clone] is also new--it helps you create n number of abstractions in one location. [savestate] lets you save the state of an abstraction.
There may be others--this is just what comes to my mind first. ________________________________ From: Pd-list pd-list-bounces@lists.iem.at on behalf of Ignacio Lois ignaciolois@gmail.com Sent: 29 March 2019 01:10 To: pd-list@lists.iem.at Subject: [PD] getting back to business
Hello everyone, I used to do some stuff with pd-extended about eight years ago. I did a quite interesting and rather large project back then but I haven't really touched the language since [although I kept receiving these mails and sometimes I even read them]. I'm thinking of getting back into it, so I have two questions for you:
- Are there any new libraries (from around 2010 onwards) I should be aware of? Be it because they're useful or cool or your favorite for any reason.
- What do you think would be good katas for Pd? It doesn't matter if they're very basic.
Thanks!
