Description

-----------

robotcowboy is an audio/visual environment for performance. It features:

* a Pure Data audio instance

* a Lua scripting environment inspired by OpenFrameworks/Processing

* a scene system including playlists

* midi io

* inter-app OSC communication

* 2d physics using Box2d

It's directly inspired by the original RjDj app and Love2d. I decided to write my own app in order to add the features I needed for a live performance focus.

NOTE: THIS IS CURRENTLY IN ALPHA DEVELOPMENT. BETA COMING SOON.

Building

--------

robotcowboy is being developed against the current stable version of openFrameworks. You can get it from [openframeworks.cc](http://www.openframeworks.cc/download) or on [Github](https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks).

Additionally, you will need the following add ons:

* ofxOsc (included with OF)

* [ofxPd](https://github.com/danomatika/ofxPd)

* [ofxLua](https://github.com/danomatika/ofxLua)

* [ofxMidi](https://github.com/chrisoshea/ofxMidi)

* [ofxAppUtils](https://github.com/danomatika/ofxAppUtils)

* [ofxUI](https://github.com/rezaali/ofxUI)

* ofxBox2d (use [my fork](https://github.com/danomatika/ofxBox2d) on Github)

They should be installed in the `addons` dir in the OpenFrameworks folder.

Running

-------

Running the app will currently run a playlist of test scenes.

### Scenes

A scene is a single program run by the environment written as a combination of Pure Data patches and Lua scripts. robotcowboy looks for \_main.pd and \_main.lua as their respective entry points and OSC is used to communicate between the audio and visual engines.

*More detailed info to come soon.*
