Dear list,
First of all i'd like to say that i'm very impressed by the potential
of data structures in Pd. I've always kind of ignored this feature and
it's a >>pity because it's really worth diving into it.That being said
I think that help and example patches are far from sufficient for
beginners, and if it wasn't for Chris McCormick's s->>abstractions I
would have been able to really figure out how to use them (stuff like
how to make an entire polygon draggable, how to use >>GOP with proper
scaling, etc.).It's not just the documentation, it's the interface. Having to walk
linked-lists of graphically unlinked objects is bad. Having to use
boilerplate to find the >head of a glist just to create a scalar is bad.I think Pd-l2ork is getting close to a release with my new data
structure stuff in it. It's a first step at addressing some of these
issues.
and any prospects of that stuff making it into vanilla or pd-ext, for the
non-unix users out there?
