Hi,

I tried different forks of PureData recently and find a really nice and simple feature wich is Grid snap in patch.
(Pd-ceammc and Spaghettis (a new "simple, fast and embeddable" fork of pd) use it and the result is nice and cleaner than regular pd way of patching.

My question is, would it be possible to create a tcl plugin for pure data?

Can you tell me the OS on which you built Spaghettis? Did it work out of the box? I'm curious to know (since i test the process only on my machines for now).

Hi Nicolas, I built it in OSX 10.9.5 simply following the steps in your github page ( Run the "./build.sh" command.). I see that I have Active TCL 8.5 installed.
And yes, it worked out of the box and it looks very smooth

The grid is nice to keep the patch clean, and it works better than in Pd-ceammc (where if fails if more than one object is moved at once...). Do you plan to make a Puredata tcl plugin? What is the futur of Spaghettis ?

Merci!

Thanks, good to know. Make TCL plug-ins? Definitly not. I refactored ALL the sources of Pd in order to make them understandable for an idiot like me. I do not want to spend one more day to struggle with the original code.

Ok, I can understand that making a GUI plugin could be difficult at this step!

But it's also a bit frustrating sometimes to see many forked version of pd with nice enhancement that won't be merged

Twice frustrated ; reciprocally new enhancements of Pd vanilla are not always available in forks!

While searching information, I found this discussion interesting about the idea of trying to merge the features:
https://github.com/uliss/pure-data/issues/46

Interesting, but in my case backporting means write it again, compile it again, test it again... Frankly i doubt there's an hundred of lines from the vanilla version unchanged in my repository!

Yes no problem! I will follow your fork in parallel of others
