Is there a way to get a typewriter effect using pd i.e. have letters appear one character at a time?

I was thinking I could send the text to [text2d] using [drip] but that just displays one character/word at a time.

Cheers,

Thanks Tim Vets, it worked great. Here's what I created http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOzDdYahsrs

no problem. You may be able to do it character by character with [string $1 $2 $3 ...( . and also a suggestion: randomize the drip speed ;) gr, Tim

I need to generate live timecode to overlay on a video of a cinema
projection screen.

So far PD/GEM works fine, but does anybody have a quick-and-easy
suggestion for formatting numbers/strings fed into [text2d] to get
leading zeros?

My desired format is hh:mm:ss:SSS

Cheers!

You need to generate a symbol, then Pd won't strip the zeros off. You can do that with:

[makefilename %02d]

though for SSS you would need [makefilename %03d]

That will give you just hh. You could do one of those per hh mm ss SSS, then combine them into a list and feed it thru [zexy/list2symbol :]

i have to admit that for short fixed size list-to-symbol functionality i would use the super cow powers of the msgbox:

[symbol $1:$2:$3.$4( will give you "hh:mm:ss.SSS"

Except where $1 is 01, for example, it'll give you

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic. It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom

Symbols are never freed, so, it's better to use several separate [text2d] to reduce the total number of symbols created.

Otherwise, as tens of thousands of symbols are created, not only it takes RAM, but it also slows down the symbol table (this means it slows down any uses of gensym).

[text2d] could be modified to also accept lists of ascii codes. In that case, [#sprintf] can do the job of multiple [makefilename]s (and more) without creating any symbol. You just need [#to_list] to make it a plain pd list.

alas, it cannot, as it already has this functionality.

:)

the [text*] family accepts lists of unicode points (which is compatible with ascii), it's in the "string" method.

great.

Now the only problem left is that [#sprintf] outputs lists-of-utf8-bytes instead of lists-of-utf8-points. I think that this is something that has to be modified in [#sprintf]. But the difference wouldn't be visible in case of plain ascii such as this timecode question.

Good point, Mathieu. Attached is a "stopwatch" I made a few years ago that practices symbol conservation. It could easily be modified to do timecode.
