Overview: Writing Scripts in C#

The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK)

TO DO:  Build StressBall as a game:

• Modify last week's StressBall to be a stand-alone game in Unity, not an editor window
  1. First, Make it work with your sampled sound from last week.
  2. Now remove the sampled sound from your project.
  3. Do the magic: fire PD from your scripting code so PD generates the boing on the fly. It is a really good idea if libPD or some such can be used as a Unity component in the game package.
  4. ExtraGlory: Control parameters of your patch with various ball parameters: height or speed, angle, side-wall collision, height.

In Unity, under Assets->Export Package make a full project of your enhanced version. Call it (yourlastname)StressBall2.unitypackage.

Email your custom PD patch file(s) and your package to bruceh@cs.washington.edu. KEEP A COPY!!
