The funny thing is that I started this thread a couple of days ago and these last posts about "SLOC" and "COCOMO" are totally cryptic to me!!! My original question was: how to build graphical user interfaces for pd patches that would look more like standard software and be less "disturbing" to non-pd devellopers (especially meaningfull when building a virtual lighting board for instance, like this guy I met in Avignon, France the other day with a max patch, he had even found a way to remotely control it with his Iphone... very impressive). The other part of the question was : how to bundle the no-gui pd patch with the new interface and all the pd install files so the patch could be distributed as a standard application on any... say... windows computer... or else). A couple of people have mentioned the processing environement; If anyone has new tips to bring up, I'd be more than happy to know: would visual basic, python or Qt do the job?
Thank you all for your involvement!
People who want to continue to discuss "SLOCOMO" issues (whatever it is...) are, of course, very welcome to do so, but it might be a good idea to start a new, dedicated thread for this highly technical subject.
I hope I did not offense anyone, it really isn't my point: I love all Pd related questions.
