Are you still using the old osc-bonjour? there's now the more flexible zeroconf.browse, zeroconf.resolve and zeroconf.register externals that let's you browse, resolve and register any kind of zeroconf services.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osctools/files/

They are much more integrated with Max5 than osc-bonjour was, using attributes... etc

Marc Downie finally released its Digital Art framework called Field written in Jython and released under the GPL3 license.

I'm no longer working at Ircam. So I will no longer update this page in the future.

However I'll keep this page online for backup and I can still be contacted from there or from my independent smartelectronix webpage.

I've disabled comments until there's a better anti-stam for sphplog.

Thanks to Charles Bascou from GMEM there's an update to the oscbonjour maxmsp externals for UniversalBinary.

see the old article for the download location

yes, it's possible because ObjectiveC is a strict superset of C. You just need to use a *.m extension so that Xcode compiles it as ObjectiveC and not just C.

I already used C++ to write maxmsp externals so I knew it should be possible with another C based language. But I needed a proof of concept. here it is:


#include "ext.h"
#import <Foundation/NSObject.h>

@interface Fraction : NSObject
{
int num;
int den;
}
- (void) setNumerator: (int) d;
- (void) setDenominator: (int) d;
- (int) numerator;
- (int) denominator;
- (void) print;
@end

@implementation Fraction
- (void) setNumerator: (int) d
{
num = d;
}
- (void) setDenominator: (int) d
{
den = d;
}
- (int) numerator
{
return num;
}
- (int) denominator
{
return den;
}
- (void) print
{
post("%i/%i",num,den);
}
@end

typedef struct
{
t_object o;
Fraction *frac; // to show how we can store an ObjectiveC instance inside a C struct.
} objc_t;

static t_messlist *objc_class = NULL;

static void *objc_new(Symbol *s, short ac, Atom *at)
{
objc_t *o = (objc_t *)newobject(objc_class);
Fraction *frac = [[Fraction alloc] init];
[frac setNumerator: 1];
[frac setDenominator: 4];
[frac print];
o->frac = frac;
return o;
}
static void objc_free(objc_t *o)
{
Fraction *frac = o->frac;
if(frac)
{
[frac release];
}
}
int main(void)
{
setup(&objc_class,
(method)objc_new,
(method)objc_free,
(short)sizeof(objc_t), 0L,
A_GIMME, 0);
}
