Hey so! I'll be doing a streamed talk at DCG201 (DEFCON New Jersey local) this Friday, 7PM EST, as part of a program on VR tech: https://defcon201.medium.com/dcg-201-online-meet-up-may-2021-virtual-light-d858732751d0
My talk's subject: https://LOVR.ORG (the open source VR library I use); nuts & bolts of VR dev, and how to get started; my game SKATEGIRL DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE (
@mermaidindustries ); and a look into SKATEGIRL'S internals.
The talk after me (7:30) is by Nevyn Bengtsson, talking about https://alloverse.com, another LOVR project.
*Gesturing upthread* I'll be giving my talk on this stream in one hour!
@mcc Watched it an hour late but I enjoyed it very much! Kind of want to try porting the lite text editor to Lovr now - I ported it to love2d in a couple of evenings. Seems like it could be really fantastic to have a solid code editor living directly inside your VR world as it runs.
@SpindleyQ Thanks for watching?
Also, I actually would LOVE a text editor in lovr-- dunno if you saw the part of my talk about making a DAW, but that's a Thing and im hoping to have sequencing based on text files! I think Bjorn implemented part of a text editor for one project but he did most of it in C.
@mcc https://bitbucket.org/SpindleyQ/honeylisp/src/master/vendor/lite/main.lua this is all it took to get lite up and running in love2d! Pretty much just “draw rectangle”, “draw text”, and “get UI event”.
Your DAW looks cool! I think about building my own music software a lot too. I wrote a Forth-based AdLib livecoding environment on my 286 a year or two ago but I never quite got the workflow to click.

@SpindleyQ @mcc
Here's the demo of mcc's VR DAW, @PatchNotes@gup.pe. Rewind a bit for the #PureData game music. I don't have a VR headset, but this is tempting...
