Hallo Volker (seit Szombatehly),
i guess that the most recent pd-extended version from http:// puredata.info/downloads is what i should tell them to use in order to get the most similar setup between max and pd, right? are there any special "max<-->pd libraries" i should look out for?
there's the cyclone library, which is a very good effort on making max
objects available on pd-Ext. besides that and the core objects, not too
much available, afaik.careful with mistake number 1: in Pd all objects are made for floats.
almost only [i] is for ints.
And the second number one mistake is execution order: In Pd, the order, fanning connections fire, is basically undefined. In Max, connections going right, fire first. So it's best to always use triggers, in Max, as well.
When I ported the RTClib from Max to Pd, converting implicit execution ordering to explicit order using triggers was my main job.
And to the other question: Instead of uzi/kalashnikov, [until] is very useful - just build some abstraction around [until] if you need to count. But often you don't need it anyways
Ciao
