For the second time this year our meetup is guest at the
DAM Gallery here in Frankfurt. As DAM represents early digital artists like
Manfred Mohr and the current exhibition is showing works by
Peter Beyls we thought it might be a nice setting to discuss the
ReCode project by
Matthew Epler. Matthew will join us via Skype and we will have Wolf Lieser, owner of DAM, with us.
Today we have our monthly (almost) Processing Frankfurt aka. NODE+CODE meetup. We have Ludwig Zeller as guest showing basil.js, a Processing-like framework for InDesign.
What it does:
– command-t show/hide Tweaker, click name on the left to cycle variables
– adds an interface to some top level primitive variables (int, float, color)
– values are saved in between runs (check settings.xml)
– save screenshot (command-s)
– import processing.pdf and hit command-p to save pdf
To me this opens up a room of ideas:
– tracking variables (graphs?)
– a tree like structure of variables (objects are containers of variables themself)
– trigger functions
– show status information (fps, memory, count variables, ...)
