# xoxo
This is a very short (embedded) language for SuperCollider that uses [PreProcessor](https://github.com/supercollider-quarks/PreProcessor) Quark.
My main (and only) goal was to make it as short as possible (both the rhythmic Patterns and the language itself).
The whole implementation fits in 259 characters (so it fits in a twit... of 280 chars).
Here's an expanded version:```
this.preProcessor = PreProcessor.new.startDelimiter_("*:").endDelimiter_(":*");
x = (
lang: \xoxo,
languages: (
xoxo: {
|code, event|
/*
`code` is what we wrote inside `*: ... :*`, ie: "synthdef:xoxoxoxo"
`event` is the current event
*/
// So, it splits the string to obtain...
var values = code.split($:);
// which synthdef to play
var instrument = values[0].asSymbol;
// and when to play, translating 'xoxo' to '[1,0,1,0]' which is used by the `\amp` key.
var pattern = values.at(1).asList.collect{ |xo| (xo.asString == "x").binaryValue };
// then we put everything together in a Pbind
var output = Pbind(
\amp, Pseq(pattern, inf),
\instrument, instrument,
\dur, 1/4
);
// which is embedded inside the Event in the `\xo` key.
event.put(\xo, output);
}
)
);
```## SYNTAX
The syntax is **really** basic:
* `*:` to open the pattern
* `synthdef:pattern` (x plays, o stays silent)
* `:*` to close the pattern### XOXO <-> SC
A `*:synth:xoxoxo:*` Pattern by itself won't play anything because basically it's just a Function (`x.at(\languages).at(\xoxo)`), so as we would do with any other Function, we need to call it passing the whole `x` Event, which will return the Event with a new `.xo` key (the Pbind).
```
.-------------------------> 1. xoxo pattern
/ .----------------> 2. call it passing `x` Event with this tiny lang implementation,
/ / .----------> 3. we get an Event with a `xo` key (which cointains the Pbind)
/ / / .-------> 4. Pbind.play
/ / / /
,------------,,--------,,-,,---,
*:synth:xoxo:*.value(x).xo.play;
```### OBLIGATORY 4/4 PATTERN:
```
*:kick:xooo:*.value(x).xo.play;
*:hat:ooxo:*.value(x).xo.play;// or even shorter version:
*:kick:xooo:*.(x).xo.play;
*:hat:ooxo:*.(x).xo.play;

This _language_ doesn't provide SynthDefs because I assumed you already have some stored and loaded.
