Dimple

Classes to interact with the haptic - physical modelling program Dimple.

by Marije Baalman

This Quark provides a bunch of classes to interact with DIMPLE: Dynamically Interactive Musically PhysicaL Environment. You can get Dimple from http://www.idmil.org/software/dimple.

You need a version higher than 0.0.8-1, so you may need to get the 'git'-version and build it yourself. The version you need has to support the --send-url command line argument, so that it can send messages to sclang.

To get the git version do:

git clone http://idmil.org/git/dimple.git

or:

git clone git://github.com/radarsat1/dimple.git

Once you have got the version, you need to run

./bootstrap.sh
./autogen.sh
make

to configure and build.

Documentation for the SuperCollider classes:

- DimpleThing.html
-- DimpleCamera.html
-- DimpleWorld.html
-- DimpleObject.html
-- DimpleConstraint.html

Some of the documentation will be clearer if you also read: http://www.idmil.org/software/dimple/messages, to see what some of the arguments need to be.
