Daumenkino

Live code visuals - A Tidal interface to visuals

Daumenkino is the german word for flip-book, it serves as an analogy for how it works. Make your own flip-books in real-time from single frames of a video or completely from scratch using geometric shapes. Think of animated gifs combined with a plot, you decide, in realtime.

Installation

To install Daumenkino run:

git clone https://github.com/lennart/Daumenkino
cd Daumenkino
cabal install

Place daumenkino.el in an emacs load-path, require the daumenkino package and start a session in a .tidal file via:

M-x daumenkino-start-haskell

Usage

the simplest thing is to show a plane that fades from white to transparent:

s1 $ shader "plane"

Available shaders are:

• plane
• tri
• circle

other shader names will be read as imagefile names similar to how Dirt does.

These params accept float patterns:

• dur - duration the shader is shown
• width, height (and also size for equal width and height)
• x, y - positioning
• speed
• red, green, blue
• alpha - transparency
• rot_x - rotation around x axis
• origin_x, origin_y - origin for rotation, to rotate around a certain point

Special params which accept different patterns:

• color - accepts hex colors like #ff0099
• blend - blendmode accepts the following values:
  • c SRC_COLOR
  • a SRC_ALPHA
  • C DST_COLOR
  • A DST_ALPHA
  • l CONSTANT_ALPHA
  • t CONSTANT_COLOR
  • s SRC_SATURATE_ALPHA
  • x ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA (default)
  • y ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR
  • X ONE_MINUS_DST_ALPHA
  • Y ONE_MINUS_DST_COLOR
