cool thanks for that just a small update on what im working on at the moment: background color cycling - (can i do this without it having such a weird effect on the particle colors due to the draw mode) enemy waves fixing the boost to use a timer adding weapons for use against bosses score system ba...

damn.
is there any free alternatives? if not how do you go about coding stuff like that without a pre compiled library?
being able to process data and audio input visually is why Processing has taken off pretty well with creative types
how is the development on Love going?

sweet! :D what languages does the api support? its available for mac, linux, windows and solaris just found this video, i couldnt tell if the shape was responding to the audio because the framerate went a little jerky but if it is then definetly worth contacting that guy: http://vimeo.com/2370880 he...

someone may have already asked this but cant particle effects be scaled down too?
youd only need to scale the setSize values right?

how easily can c++ code be looked at and recoded in lua? i just remembered you can get the source for the old version of milkdrop for winamp which has variables such as treb_att (current treble) and mid (slower updating mid range value) but i think it refers to stuff in the winamp api think the sour...

i have no idea :S i thought and hoped there would be some http://lua-av.mat.ucsb.edu/pubs/WakefieldSmith_2007_ICMC07_ULMC.pdf http://lua-av.mat.ucsb.edu/about.html http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~wakefield/lua~/lua~.htm they are the only things ive found and none seem to be a library specifically for norma...

so use stop() and continue drawing them? Exactly also is it a good idea to use arrays to store enemy 'waves' and could i still move each about idividually using that method? Could you explain this some more? You mean multiple enemies, or something like that? i didnt think you could draw particles a...

aww
look at www.flight404.com for examples of audio processing apps created with the processing language
i thought something similar would exist for lua or love
ill definetly post a request

and how to make you collide with your tail i really need to work out a way to do that I'm not sure that's possible.. unless you store a table with positions, but I guess that's not a nice way to go. EDIT: About old particles (X), maybe you should just stop creating new particles, but still draw the...

so i code a button press on the menu to write new values to the config file then ask the user to reset?
