how to write

http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/index.html

naming and cleaning details

  • is there anybody ever who needed Switch Out. and what is it expected to do?
  • What is CountIndices for ?
  • Obsolete nodes: HSLtoHSV and back -> thats what color pins are fore
  • Obsolete nodes: GEL for non debug builds
  • Naming: Blend (EX9.Renderstate) vs. Blend (Color)
  • Naming: Map (Interval) -> MapInterval (Value)
  • Naming: all polymorphic spreads nodes in Category Value
  • Naming of Split (Quaternion) -> Quaternion (Split, Quaternion)
  • Naming of Newsfeed -> RSSParser
  • Naming of TogEdge -> Edge
  • obsolete? uniformscale
  • obsolete? Network Status
  • does wordcount actually work?
  • Obsolete nodes: Diff (String) -> could be a module
  • either Repeat (String) or * (String)
  • more orthogonal commands - see Orthogonality
  • set the subtype of the comparison node outs do bool to make nicer downstream IOboxes

little features

  • Count should have input pin count (returning spreadmax)
  • Inverse permutation
  • efficient Cross Transform
  • efficient Cross 3d
  • Byte node rework
  • Keymatch Togedge mode
  • Reverse should have binsize pin
  • Stallone autospreadcount (get rid of vector/quaternion split & joins)
  • Shift with integer mode
  • gregorian should have kw and wochentag output
  • remove Filestream Duration Framedelay nerdness (if 0=duration semantics cause problems, at least set internal isFramedelay property)
  • NetSend and NetReceive without the need to understand anything about TCP, UDP, Tokenizing or whatever.

    what to do for cocoon

    kurzfristig

    • Dateisynchronisation vereinfachen. mirror-programm benutzen. klare master zuweisen, sachen automatisch an die richtigen stellen spielen. backups automatisch anlegen.
    • System entwickeln, wie man einfach zwischen verschiedenen Setups umschalten kann, um z.b. für eine sonderveranstaltung eigene patches benutzen zu können.
    • Ggf. umgang mit mehreren Shows in der GrandMA erlernen
    • Hoch- und Runterfahren automatisieren, wie bei Hydrosphere
    • Neuer Terrazzoparameter, der AVI-files abspielt. ggf. auch Flash-Files
    • Schalter zum Umschalten zwischen Voll- und Halb-PAL am Rendercontroller

    mittelfristig

    • Sequencer auf neue Version updaten, prüfen, mit welchen neuen Knoten die Performance signifikant erhöhrt werden kann. Wünschbares Interface entwerfen. Aufwand für Erweiterung um Presets/Timelines etc. abschätzen. GrandMA herausoperieren.
    • Nachladen von Patches debuggen
    • Strategie zum nachladen von Patches in der Boygroup entwickeln
    • Layers und Workflows entwickeln, die Externen Grafikern kreative Gestaltung ermöglichen. z.b. Fotos, AVI, Flash-AVI-konversion, Panoramafilme etc.

    langfristig

    • Graph schneller machen. unbenützte patches drinlassen
    • Clublicht über VVVV steuern, GrandMA eliminieren.
