gp2x demo alpha v.09 - clip 1a

Live recording demonstrating my gp2x visual demo. Written in C with SDL. Currently super alpha version - joystick and buttons work but would like to add more features. As usual I can't get it to look very clear in Flash Video. Especially during parts with a lot of fine lines.

True - although would be nice if there was a larger user base. Eventually I'd like to write a vj app that more people could use but the other platforms (e.g. PSP, DS) aren't very homebrew friendly.

I can imagine. Basically the gp2x is a gift from the sky for the open-source community.

It's so cool to think about it, it's a little box of technology that you can fully adapt to your likings (if you have the knowledge, that is ;)).

I highly recommend Sol's Tutorials (google that).

There's also Pygame which is a wrapper for SDL and is cross platform but C/C++ is faster.

Yes, Voltage Controlled is a collaborative project, everything we do is strictly analog. parisgraphics is my own stuff which is digital because it's not practical for me to carry around a bunch of electronics. I've even gotten tired of carrying a laptop so I moved from Pd/GEM to writing code for the gp2x. It's great to go to a show with nothing but that!

Now all I have to do is learn C(++) and SDL >:(

Ah, what am I ranting, it's for a good cause, and from C you can go a lot of directions I guess. Added to that, there are many many tutorials out there.

Btw, you = vcparis?

Thanks - yeah, since the SDL library has been ported for the gp2x, you can do a lot. There's still a few things to be aware of like no floating point math but then you can use look up tables, etc. Overall, I recommend it. It's great to develop for.

[AppA]

They do.

If you can do these kind of twisted viz on the gp2x I'm definitely considering buying it.

Nicely done btw, kinda digital laavaah.
