Hello everyone ! What is rubyk ? Rubyk is a ruby application you can modify during runtime through WebDAV simply by editing ruby scripts and saving them in your editor. What will it be used for ? As an open source replacement for graphical patchers (Max/MSP, Plogue Bidule) in multimedia/AI applications (midi/opengl). What has been done ? The basic server works. Basic midi io (using ruby wrappers around Rtmidi). Tested some opengl stuff (with ruby-opengl). What will be done ? Currently implementing Principal Component Analysis and Support Vector Machines for pattern recognition (dance —\> music). Why join ? Because it’s really fun to edit an application that makes noises and images while it is running… If you feel interested, let me know. Gaspard ---
