Hi Fjölnir !<div><br></div><div>I also started playing with Ruby for live coding but dropped the project in favor of Lua because of stability issues (the garbage collector made the music very rubato: fun but unusable). That was ruby 1.8.7, not MacRuby so the problems I had might not affect you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since your project is smaller then fluxus and thus easier to understand for a newbie like me, I'll steal ideas from your project to develop the shading engine in lubyk [1]...</div><div><br></div><div>
To the fluxus folks, I would love to use your engine (provided I can grok such an impressive project) but I want to avoid GPL code (please, not flames) and as you said, writing the engine can be fun and is a great way to learn.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
I just thought I'd post here to let fellow livecoders know that I'm working on an environment very similar to fluxus, that is focused exclusively on the mac platform & uses Ruby as it's language.<br>
<br>
It's nowhere near as advanced as fluxus at this point, but as said in the subject, it might be of interest.<br>
<br>
You can find it at <a href="http://github.com/aptiva/tranquil" target="_blank">http://github.com/aptiva/tranquil</a><br>
and to get an idea of what it's output currently looks like you can check out <a href="http://fjolnir.asgeirsson.is/tranquil/" target="_blank">http://fjolnir.asgeirsson.is/tranquil/</a><br>
