I definitely agree, I've been wanting to sort out a live coding dvd for
some time - would anyone be interested in making some movies for this? I
quite like the idea of rendering code to the subtitle layer :)
Live coding should be highly compressable - sc history is lossless and
tiny, fluxus does a similar thing to record key presses - and it also
does the same with the gamepad input (this is how I render movies -
offline at fixed framerate afterwards)
I haven't ever remembered to turn this on live - it never seems
important when you're trying to get (e.g.) syncing to work :) One way
around this is to log everything automatically, so all your histories
are stored without you having to think about it.
cheers,
