JOGL VS Pure Data

Many years ago in grad school, I did matrix multiplication for a physics simulation, directly on the GPU, using JOGL. There may be more modern ways to do it, though. Source: over 1 year ago

I tried learning the classic Java version and had modest success. But as soon as I needed to pass large arrays to the shader I got lost in the complexity. I know it requires some kind of interaction with PGL on a PGraphicsOpenGL which "includes a full GLES 2.0 interface" and is documented elsewhere... But you practically need a teacher just to navigate your way through it all. Source: over 2 years ago

Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software. Source: 11 months ago

WebPd is a highly modular compiler for audio programming language Pure Data allowing to run .pd patches on web pages. It converts the audio graph and processing objects from a patch into plain human-readable JavaScript or WebAssembly which can then be integrated directly into any web application.

You might also be interested in the very different Pure Data (http://puredata.info/) environment, which is also free and open-source. It uses a visual programming approach, which many people like but if you are already a programmer it might seem inconvenient in comparison. Source: about 1 year ago

Personally I got started with pure data, which is open source and a good place to learn DSP basics. I think there are even a few wrapper libraries for building things into apps (libpd, mobmuplat, to name a few). Source: about 1 year ago
