ChucK Feature Requests
- run ChucK as a VST plugin inside other hosts
- a debug/trace option and/or debugger for easier debugging and ChucK learning.
- [Linux] ALSA sequencer support for MIDI control.
- Ability to compile support for several IO schemes.
- Maybe by making this kind of stuff modular (welcome to plugin land).
- Maybe support for using/controlling LADSPA plugins? http://www.ladspa.org
- Include statement. Would make it easier to reuse code
- Ogg/Vorbis
- FLAC
- ChucK for Puredata
- envelope ugen capable of curved envelopes
- Auto-Fades for + - =
- ChucK as a DSSI plugin, http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
- Instructions/tips for people using ChucK on Windows XP
- Installer for Windows (posssible installer links)
- http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ Nullsoft Installer
- http://www.programurl.com/development_tools_linder_setupbuilder.htm
- http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Programming/ActiveX/Install_Wizard.html
- http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php#features
- when using --add print out the status line (to VM console)
- Function pointer types, so that sporked code can be pointed at controls as well as ugens.
- anonymous function blocks. e.g. spork ~ { dosomething }. Why? becuase it would be really useful for scoring multiple voices when playing melodic instruments. Makes it possible to easily write scores in ChucK.
- Either support for include files, or support for #line directives in the parser so that a C preprocessor can be used.
- support for timed OSC messages.
- Ability to pass in command-line parameters: Place any command-line arguments of the form "NAME=VALUE" into the environment, so that they it be access with getenv(). (or maybe -"-defineNAME=VALUE"). Or both.
- Have "the_end" evaluate to zero so we can use "until(the_end)" as a cooler way of saying "while(true)"
Good Ideas
- arrays (DONE)
- file inclusion (header files)
- objects (DONE)
- synchronous / asynchronous events (DONE)
- implicit casting (DONE)
- global value map
- shred local adc/dac
- cross chucking
- what is cross chucking?
- stereo (DONE)
- multi-channel (DONE)
- wow, it's only mono? (not anymore!)
- OSC (OpenSound Control) ( SOME )
- automatic OSC address spaces ; /machine/shred[1]/variables/foo , /machine/add ( ON THE WAY )
- midi parsing/routing object ( SOME )
- sndbuf proper sndbuf / sndplayer / sndrecorder collection
- duration expressions
- widgets ( once visuals are up )
- synchronization
- ability to remove a shred AND the shreds it sporked (its children) from the command line. (DONE)
(potential) parallel efforts
- GLucK (OpenGL for ChucK) this is almost ready for release
- TrucK: ChucK to C/C++ translator (for embedded platforms, and for non-on-the-fly native compilation). Paul Botelho and I talked about this last night. (I just now made up the name)
- Would it be possible to run it on processors without floating point support, like StrongARM / Xscale?
Bad Ideas
- make ChucK more like COBOL
- MucK: okay, this is going further into la-la land. MATLAB / ChucK extension.
Diemo Schwarz and I had once envisioned this renegade concept of doing analysis in MATLAB and (somehow) using ChucK from within MATLAB to quickly (and concurrently) playback/synthesize/audisize on-the-spot. I wonder if anyone still wishes for this.
- MUSHCK: Multi-User Shared Hallucination ChucK. Multiple users can log in to the VM process, chat with each other and interact with ChucK remotely, while ChucK sends audio streams back to them.
- SucK: we need a really bad idea to go with this.
- BucK: the commercial version
- DucK: ChucK for migrating fowl
- HucK: ChucK for those lazy afternoons floating down the Mississippi River
- JucK: ChucK running on top of Java
- KucK: Realtime sauerkraut generator
- LucK: A ChucK program that works the first time
- PucK: Live performance version of ChucK in which the program is controlled by hockey players.
- QucK: A ugen for DucK
- RucK: A ChucK concert given by an unemployed Wall Street television personality.
- TucK: Any Chuck program that generates lullabies.
- YucK: A ChucK program that executes correctly but which otherwise seems generally unpleasant.
