Adding ORCA (https://100r.co/pages/orca.html https://100r.co/pages/orca.html) to the list.
Earlier this year I stumbled onto Hundred Rabbits, which happened to have recently released ORCA (described as "an open-source visual programming language, designed to create procedural sequencers on the fly, and control other applications.")
At the time I didn't really know what that live-coding was a thing in terms of musical performance and just invented my own explanation for what they must mean and intend it for.
About a month ago I stumbled onto a reference to algorave, and then looked up a short documentary, in which I saw a few quick frames of someone doing a live show with ORCA (and, of course, encountered the term live-coding).
I guess it's a little bit more like a puzzle than some of the other languages/environments, but I like that it's possible to directly visually enjoy an orca program operating in the way you can't with the others I've seen (without generative visualizers of some sort...)
- agentwiggles 7y agoYES!! I've been trying to remember this for months. I remember seeing ORCA coming across HN a while ago, and I was interested in checking it out, but forgot what it was called. Thanks for jogging my memory, looking forward to playing with ORCA.
- officeplant 7y agoI'd link some tutorial videos a friend did on ORCA but I'm not sure if that's kosher on HN. Look around on youtube there are some tutorials for it sprining up out there. Although some of the tutorials are a tad out of date now that there has been some changes in ORCA.
