Discussion on gesture-library

[Joel Spadin]

I found some good stuff here.

Wait. This looks like exactly what we want to do.

Sadly thats in C#......

[RJ Marsan]

oooo

mayhaps?

[Joel Spadin]

That looks quite good too. The video for the Grafiti one shows pretty
much all the gestures we want though.

It would be possible to code the interface in C# if the gesture system
is good enough, right?
C# is multiplatform through Mono and syntactically almost identical to
Java, so it would take you about 10 seconds to be able to use it. (It
took me a few days going from C# to Java, but that was mostly to learn
all the things I couldn't do in Java and how to work around them)
I don't really know about interfacing with Supercollider or Pd, but it
isn't difficult to call unmanaged library functions from C#.

What's limiting us to Java or Python?

[RJ Marsan]

We'd have to see what other people think.... Personally I'm not a fan of C# at all, though Mono is a good project.  I say we get a setup with both running, and see what works best for us.  actually... Lets just get a list of the best toolkits for gestures, and I'll try to get them all running on the touchscreen and we can try them out next meeting?

[Joel Spadin]

Sounds good. I'm going to take a look at Pd and see how it works.

[RJ Marsan]

ok, go for it.  if you can, see what other sound libraries you can find (and what plugins they can support)

By the way:

thats a fantastic page

[Joel Spadin]

Alright. Puredata is insane. I think I prefer Supercollider.

have you looked at the java libraries for supercollider?
