I can't find a video of Daisy Chain. It looks to be very similar to
TanScript, with the graphics done much more artfully. TanScript nodes can
be given user-made images, but the links cannot, so such a beautiful
vine-like composition is not possible in the current design.
I can't find any documentation, either! Do you know of any? I really want
to know more about Daisy Chain!
Could you link me to a video of Tidal?
Yes, I am making sure that I can develop Tanscript programs, including
interactive songs, blindfolded. I prefer working with my eyes closed
because that way I have more visual awareness of my visual imagination,
which I use to visualize what I am doing.
