README
# Vortex: Algorithmic pattern experiments in Python
Inspired by [TidalCycles](https://tidalcycles.org) and
[Tidal Remake](https://github.com/yaxu/remake). TidalCycles experimental port
for Python 3+.
**This is free software, but currently free as in _free puppies_. It is moving
fast and only really useful for playing with, not serious work.**
## Install
### Dependencies
Vortex requires:
* Python 3.8, 3.9 or 3.10
* liblo: OSC communication library
* Qt 6: GUI library
#### Linux
On Linux, you might need to install `liblo-dev`:
* `Debian/Ubuntu` (`apt`): `sudo apt install liblo-dev`
* `Arch` and arch-based: `sudo pacman -S liblo` or check the `Aur`.
#### MacOS
On MacOS, there are a few packages you might need to install manually. Check
your installation beforehand because you might already have everything you need.
Run these commands only if a component appear to be missing. You can use
[brew](https://brew.sh/) to get them:
* `brew install liblo`
* `pip install -U pyqt5 pyqt5-sip sip`
#### Windows
On Windows the liblo library has to be build manually by the following steps.
- download and unpack http://downloads.sourceforge.net/liblo/liblo-0.31.tar.gz
- install e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition
- install CMake build utility
- `cd liblo\cmake`
- `mkdir build`
- `cd build`
- `cmake ..`
- `cmake --build .`
- `pip install -U tidalvortex` (this will fail)
- copy `liblo\cmake\build\Debug\liblo.lib` to `\libs`
- copy `liblo\cmake\build\build\lo\*.h` to `\include`
- copy `liblo\cmake\build\build\lo\*.h` to `\include`
- copy `liblo\lo\*.h` to `\include`
- `pip install -U tidalvortex` (this shall be successful)
- copy `liblo\cmake\build\Debug\liblo.dll` to `\Lib\site-packages`
### Install Vortex
Now, install the latest version of Vortex with `pip`:
```
pip install -U tidalvortex
```
## Usage
From a terminal, run `vortex` to fire up a GUI editor. You can evaluate blocks
of code by pressing Ctrl+Enter or
Command+Enter.
Alternatively, you can start a Vortex REPL by running `vortex --cli`. This REPL
uses [IPython](https://ipython.org/) to evaluate Python code.
## Development
First clone the repository, or download the zip file and unzip it somewhere on
your file system.
### Poetry
You will need to install [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/). Please follow
the instructions [here](https://python-poetry.org/docs/master/#installation).
After installing, check that you have Poetry working correctly by running
`poetry -V`. You should see something like this:
```bash
$ poetry -V
Poetry version 1.3.2
```
### Install dependencies and Vortex package
To install everything, run `poetry install`. This will create a virtual
environment for you and install all dependencies there, allowing you to isolate
Vortex from other Python packages in your system.
```
poetry install
```
This will also install the `tidalvortex` package.
Now refer to the Usage section. Please note that for running the `vortex` CLI
command, you will need to preprend `poetry run`:
For example:
```
poetry run vortex --cli
```
Alternatively, you can active the virtual environment first:
```
poetry shell
vortex --cli
```
### Tests
To run tests, use `pytest`:
```bash
poetry run pytest
```
or:
```bash
poetry shell
pytest
```
To run a single test:
```
pytest -k "regex"
```
`pytest` will look for any test that match regex in their function name.
You can run `ptw` to start watching file for changes and run tests
automatically, useful for developing in a test-driven way.
### Publishing
You can bump the package version with `poetry version {version}` where
`{version}` is a valid semver string or a valid bump rule: patch, minor, major,
prepatch, preminor, premajor, prerelease.
We follow the [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/) scheme.
To publish the package, run `poetry publish`.
