Not sure on this one, but I've been slowly writing a simple virtual
machine that's designed for livecoding - I think, a bit like chuck, but it
runs an unbreakable microcode, there are no combinations of instructions
that can cause an error - so you can give it random text (been testing
with emails) and it will assemble and run without complaint.
This way you can treat code in a more freestyle manner. I'm looking for
(probably going to end up writing) an editor client where you get a lot of
debugger style feedback, of program flow, memory status, and can
copy/paste code around more like a painting application.
All i/o is through OSC (a single asm instruction to send the stack as a
message).
I'm not really sure where it's heading, but I'm hoping it's going to be a
way for me to livecode fluxus and noisepattern at the same time.
It also allows self modifying code, and direct access to heap memory from
/peek and /poke osc messages, so it's possible to write code that writes
code etc etc. I haven't entirely got my head round that yet though.
cheers,
dave
