Hello all,
This is wonderful, thank you for contributing to this thread. Glad to see that Unity + PureData is active:

@wing: I also put together a unity+pd integration example; it has a bouncing ball withs sonification done in Pd; works on Android!  https://github.com/cmuartfab/libpd4unity-starter  I will take a look at your work also, thank you for sharing that.

@scott: I also tried Kalimba, but i have massive latency on Android, on the order of 300-500ms.  Did you have this experience?

Android latency is often a fact of life, even by that much. one question is whether you're getting that latency playing it in the Editor. if not, that may be a libpd question that would need answering. you might also reach out to Sebastian(hagish) to ask him, though he might be no longer working with libpd since Kalmiba wasn't updated in a while. he did in fact say that Android latency was an issue in the Read Me. however you might have more luck with this fork which has a latency fix in Android. not sure how good it is, but it's been updated about a year ago:

https://github.com/marcinkaszynski/kalimba

if you are getting latency in the Editor, i'm not sure what to say. i haven't tested latency yet (midterm grading wiped my weekend out).

@scott+@wing: can you give me an example or two of when you may need multiple instances of LibPd in one's unity project? Couldnt you just make a more complex Pd patch that has all the things you want happening in it?

@ali - as i understand it, creating instances of PD/libpd has been discussed for a while as a positive step. i haven't had a need for it yet but others on this list have discussed benefits, mostly in terms of both power and resource management. there are drawbacks as well, but unfortunately i don't know the particulars. one instance is enough for me for the moment though. but i think the strength is dynamically spawning and killing resources as needed.

best,
scott
