Dear all,
I’ve been working on this project for quite a while. I think it’s about time to share it with the community.
Živa is a set of tools to quickly setup a live coding environment and start playing right away with very few lines of code.
Regular SC code can be used anywhere, because Živa is just SC code with a lot of syntax sugar to make things less verbose and faster to type. Instead of using the preInterpreter
, and creating a new syntax, it uses SC’s syntax flexibility to make things short.
I’m still documenting it, but I wrote a quick starting guide in the README.
I’ve been greatly inspired by @thor 's Ixilang, @totalgee 's Bacalao, @yaxu ‘s TidalCycles, the Mandelbrots’ many inventions, @jamshark70 's chucklib, and many others. I owe all of them a lot: thank you all Masters of the code.
It was partly developed in a residency at Ljudmila (in Ljubljana, Slovenia) as part of the On-the-fly project. I am grateful to them, too.
