A collection of visual interactive objects to create/develop in a dataflow+live-coding patching environment. Embedded with Lua scripting interpreter, plus live compile of GLSL Shaders from version 150 to 410, and live editing/execute Bash scripts(macOS & linux) capabilities.

Compiled/tested with QTCreator on osx/linux

If you want to build ofxVisualProgramming, just download OF0.12.0 for your OS (osx, linux, windows) and follow the setup guide forqtcreator IDE.

ofxVisualProgramming came directly from the idea behind the ofxComposer addon bypatriciogonzalezvivo andJames George, and obviously from the various commercial and no-commercial existing visual programming softwares, the open source optionPure Data, the commercial optionsMax/Msp andTouchDesigner, etc..., to talk of the latest ones, and without forgetting probably the first one from 1968,

GRAILRM-599-ARPA fromtheRAND Corporation.

So special thanks to all the precursors of this ideas, and more thanks to theofxComposer developers for their code, it has been a great reference for start working on this ofxaddon.

Thisaddon is the core code of the projectMosaic, maintained isolated in order to obtain a better modularized code structure, encourage contributions, simplify bug fixing and enhance code quality.

This project deals with the idea of integrate/amplify man-machine communication, offering a real-time flowchart based visual interface for high level creative coding. As live-coding scripting languages offer a high level coding environment, ofxVisualProgramming and the Mosaic Project as his parent layer container, aim at a high level visual-programming environment, with embedded multi scripting languages availability (Lua, GLSL, and BASH(macOS & linux) ).

As this project is based on openFrameworks, one of the goals is to offer as more objects as possible, using the pre-defined OF classes for trans-media manipulation (audio, text, image, video, electronics, computer vision), plus all the gigantic ofxaddons ecosystem actually available (machine learning, protocols, web, hardware interface, among a lot more).

While the described characteristics could potentially offer an extremely high complex result (OF and OFXADDONS ecosystem is really huge, and the possibility of multiple scripting languages could lead every unexperienced user to confusion), the idea behind the interface design aim at avoiding the "high complex" situation, embodying a direct and natural drag&drop connect/disconnect interface (mouse/trackpad) on the most basic level of interaction, adding text editing (keyboard) on a intermediate level of interaction (script editing), following most advanced level of interaction for experienced users (external devices communication, automated interaction, etc...)

In order to build ofxVisualProgramming, you'll need this addons:

Some addons are forks of the original, due to some mods, compatibility with OF0.12.0 and the intention of cross-platform compiling (osx,linux)

MACOS/LINUX compiling with qtcreator 4.6.1

CheckMosaic project to look at a ofxVisualProgramming addon usage and implementation

Contributing to the project adding new objects is relatively easy, as ofxVisualProgramming is at the core ofMosaic software, i've implemented a plugin mechanism based onPugg, in order to facilitate the extension and the creation of new objects/nodes to add at the ofxVisualProgramming/Mosaic default objects/nodes library. (see objects/nodes list below)

You can find the repo of the plugin template here:ofxMosaicPlugin, with some generic objects templates and more detailed info in the readme.
