Re: Thomas's post: This is an example of using the iterator to make line systems with the OpenCL Mouse Ribbon as the starting point. I've kept this in OpenCL so that it would be stock. I'm intrigued by your idea of using a joystick, but I don't have one handy. I've tried to keep this example somewhat simple so that everything is more obvious.
I've made a fairly fleshed out app version that uses GL Tools, and put that up at the Kineme Composition Repository, and on my personal site, if you wish to check that out. Has anyone been using joysticks successfully with QC? If so, can I get a head's up on what joystick/game pad to look out for? I've never tried it. -George Toledo On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 3:01 PM, thomas de rijk <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks for the big reply man, awesome stuff > I'll check it out and i'll keep in touch > > On Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 5:10 PM, George Toledo <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The message I sent a few minutes ago (and am "forwarding" back to the >> list) "awaits moderator approval" because of the file size.
