This is totally alphabetagamma = unfinished and unpolished software. Release
early - release often is my guide here ;)
Here's the summary:
ProcessPP is the "realisation" of a rather silly idea: A livecoding
environment for C++. As C++ is not interpreted, but compiled, this indeed
does sound like a really silly idea. But the twist is that while “true”
livecoding cannot be done, it can be at least made as easy as possible to try
out new code snippets.
ProcessPP consists of three distinct parts
- procespp: A host application that can load shared objects and execute the
code contained in them
- qprocesspp: A Qt GUI application which serves as an editor for hacking away
functions and to compile them easily into a shared object. Then it tells
processpp to load and run the shared object
- libprocesspp: A shared library which is the “glue” between processpp and
user generated shared object files. Right now it only containes code for the
shared object to find out stuff like samplerate, buffersize, number of
input/output channels, etc..
For illustrative purposes here are the steps involved in making noise:
- File->Open from Template (choose process.template.cc)
- Add some code in the inner loop to make noise
- Process->Run
- Hear the noise!!!
If the above don’t work, take a look at the log in the lower half of the main
window. Often some slight tweaks to the config file
(~/.config/Ugh!/process++.conf) need to be made.
