licensing of pd externals is very much on-topic.

They already are, but just the builtin objects, *not* including IEMGUI. 
However, the way that they are pruned, they are sometimes not updated 
often: the appearance of a floatbox can hang while the server is too busy.

In contrast, DesireData has a minimum update rate of 50 ms of logical 
time. I can see tweaking that further, so that it is 50 ms of real time, 
or any other value of logical time or real time, and/or setting a max 
number of box updates per pass, or a max number of bytes of updates per 
pass.

It doesn't make sense to update a box or the screen more often than once 
per frame on the viewing device, but of course that signal (the vertical 
retrace or frame sync) is often hard to obtain. openGL sometimes has it 
builtin, does tk? 60Hz is 16.66...ms.

yes it plays ok with lqtplay.

thanks for explaining, i did not know this.

no results with
$ apt-cache search w32codecs

i will try to find if it has some other name in ubuntu

The sound of algae growing

Hello PdPeople,

Who wants to make some fractal music? Here are two abstractions that
implement a Lindenmayer system. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-system>

[s-ireplace] is an abstraction that takes a single integer and outputs a
list of integers according to the rules specified. So you might send a
message [rule 1 2 3( and then when you send a [1( you will get back a
list '2 3'.

[s-lsystem] uses [s-ireplace] internally to iteratively replace lists
of integers with lists of integers according to rules defined in the
same way as above, thus implementing a Lindenmayer system.

Lindenmayer systems are great for generating complex sets of data from
simple rules and initial values.

<http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/*checkout*/s-abstractions/s-ireplace.pd?root=svn>
<http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/*checkout*/s-abstractions/s-ireplace-help.pd?root=svn>
<http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/*checkout*/s-abstractions/s-lsystem.pd?root=svn>
<http://mccormick.cx/viewcvs/*checkout*/s-abstractions/s-lsystem-help.pd?root=svn>

If you want, you could also use these with Gem to make natural looking
tree-like 3d structures. Check the pd-list archives for a previous
implementation of that idea which used a much simpler Lindenmayer system
which was not quite as flexible.

Best,

Chris.

I mean something like this: http://www.lua.org/pil/10.1.html of course
adapted to music, so a datafile could look like: 

    Instruments{
        bass = tb303{
            cutoff = 10,
            cf = 440
        },
        drum = "drumset1"
    }

    Patterns{
        p1 = "1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1",
        p2 = "0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0",
    }

    Score{
       bass.play(p1),

check mplayers homepage. afaik, they distribute codec packages, that
also contain the w32codecs, that are used by libavicodec.
