Open Sound Control Web Bridge #7

Open jkleiser opened 8 years ago

jkleiser commented 8 years ago

I just tried the Open Sound Control Web Bridge, https://github.com/automata/osc-web, with your osc-pony, and it works! I look forward to use this Web Bridge to make some GUI for a Pony app. ;-)

I suggest you mention this Web Bridge in Overview section of your README.md, alongside Reaktor and the other systems.

The only problem I've found with this Web Bridge is disconnecting and re-connecting, without having to restart the bridge. I can see that others have had the same problem, and this fork tries to fix it: https://github.com/Dewb/osc-web but I'm not quite sure if it really fixes the problem.

For my web GUI purpose, the best thing would of course have been a WebSocket library for Pony, so I could skip the bridge, but I don't think I'll be able to write one myself (yet).

An even better solution than the above osc-web may be osc.js. This example code seems like a good starting point for testing code based on osc-pony: https://github.com/colinbdclark/osc.js-examples/tree/master/udp-browser The default ports here are 7400 for incoming and 7500 for outgoing.

That looks like an interesting project. Maybe it would be helpful if I had a document or something here with instructions for interacting with various systems. Would you be interested in contributing to something like that?

I'm thinking of making a simple demo thing based on that osc.js example that shows messages to and from osc-pony. I'd like to do a little Pony app that won't take too much coding, but at the same time it should be a little more fun than just an echoing app. I'll let you know.
