medley-demo

This was the code used to render visuals for a song medley. It's quite a mess and not very reusable, but I figured I'd share anyway.

Post-mortem

Originally I had intended to make this a reusable wrapper around Quil (hence the theater top-level namespace) but ultimately it's gonna need a lot more work.

• theater.audio deserves to be a new project. Having access to audio samples as a Clojure seq is quite nice. It needs some cleanup, performance optimization, should not be dependent on ffmpeg, etc.

• The theater.visual/Visual protocol was an interesting way to handle state for this project. It's a bit unfriendly to stateless visuals though. demos.medley/BackgroundOsc kinda highlights this limitation as it has to keep track of the total time passed.

• demos.medley/make-console-scope highlights some problems with the way drawing is handled. It is a bit of a pain to apply the correct stroke, fill, scale/translation to a nested visual.

• The theater.timeline/make-timeline API is pretty cool. Just don't look at the implementation.

• Boot is awesome.
