Hello,
first email to the list.
We've put together on the sketchPatch site a toy live coding environment called Livecodelab.
http://www.sketchpatch.net/labs/livecodelabIntro.html
It's built on Three.js, CodeMirror, CoffeeScript and Buzz.js.
The attempt is to make something simple and accessible with lots of eye candy. (Which, not to banalise, but is the type of program/programming that I enjoy trying around myself the most). A cute fluffy toy to bounce around. A quick inspection will reveal lots of regex work that is blatantly hit and miss.
There is probably some potential in the "Autocode" function, which right now is very basic, but I think coffeescript lends itself very well to simple code transformations, so something interesting might come out of that, let's see.
The sources of inspiration will be obvious to all of you - I thought to make them explicit in the Credits section. If you think more credit is due to further work please let me know.
Again, please bear in mind that the intro page and the environment itself are meant for complete novices, so please bear with the "pop" approach.
Other than that, please let me know what you think and suggestions!
Cheers,
Davide
