[L2Ork-dev] Suggestions for PurrD GSoC 2018

[Jonathan Wilkes]

Thanks for the suggestions, João.

> Data structures:

I'm not sure what you mean by "high-level" here. Could you explain a little
more?

>
> Html5
> If Pd is already html, would it be possible to have Purrd running

> stage without gui, but afterwards with it?

There's already a project idea for this: "API for HTML5 Web Apps"

> Dynamic object list "page"
> An updated object list doesn't exist in Pd. Since many (all?) objects in
> PurrD have documentation patches, it should be possible to create a dynamic
> object reference page with columns such as name, library, explanation,
> author, ... An example is at

Are you talking about a patch here?

>
> In/Out audio mappings
> Another interesting feature in Max is a general in/out audio matrix that can
> be changed on demand. This would allow to use different main inlets/outlets
> without having to edit the patch.

Sounds interesting.

>
> GenPd
> With Gen, Max offers a possibility to develop DSP code in a dataflow
> environment. Is something like that possible in Pd?

This is something more low-level than expr~/fexpr~?

>

> The only programming language I can program is Pd, so I can only offer
> something related to that: testing patches, preparing documentation,
> preparing examples, ... Also depending on the available time, of course.

That would be extremely helpful.

Thanks!
