Hi there, and also hi @neilcsmith
I would like to use Praxis live to easily switch between processing sketches during a live performance (using midi controller)
I installed it and tried some stuff, but it’s still unclear for me how to do import your sketches and make them run in Praxis.
Any tutorial or guide that I can use to get started on this?
Thx a lot
Hi @squirelo Happy to answer questions on here, although we also have our own mailing list and chat - you can find them at Community
The important thing to note is that you’re not really mixing sketches - there is still only one PApplet (per graph at least). There are two base components that act like sketches and wrap a PGraphics - either P2D or P3D. You need to add one of these components to your graph - video:gl:p2d
or video:gl:p3d
. The other thing to note is that programming is in Java without Processing language changes.
There’s an old blog post on converting sketches - I’m working on an updated post at the moment - Transform a Processing sketch into a Praxis LIVE component | Praxis LIVE
Also, open up the examples and right-click on any node and select Edit Code
to see how existing nodes are built. Code will update immediately every time you save - fully supports live-coding.
Video of me talking and demoing it (keynote at a Polish Java conference last year) might also be useful - https://youtu.be/3cQ-8wZwsmY
Hope that helps! Ask if you need more.
