Tired: Trying to get publicity for software updates. Wired: using publicity for software as a reason to finish an update!
Ilias Bergstrom has a new release up of an open-source project designed to make it easier to play live with Processing. With all-important support for 0156 (which again restores proper fullscreen operation, this is the one to go try if you haven’t tried already. And there’s splines:
I have just uploaded version 0.2 of Mother to the google code download page.
Besides now working with Processing 0156, I have also added a new feature that allows processing incoming OSC values using spline interpolation, thus allowing for better animation.
I have also included updated examples for getting started, and updated documentation.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Indeed!

Still Windows-only at the moment, but the Mac build is in progress, so stay tuned. Eventually should be fun to test this on Linux, as well.
Talking about trying to keep up. Only yesterday I got mother 1.0 and Mother 2.0 is already available.
Thanks to Ilias Bergstrom or the update and Peter for the plug! Cheers
Yesterday’s release of Mother 0.2 had a slight bug which I’ve just fixed with the new upload 0.201.
Many thanks to Aaron Koblin for not only reporting that it doesn’t work but also pointing out how to solve it!
The bug was such that if you didn’t have a version of processing installed in "C:Program Filesprocessing", Mother would start to a blank white screen, because it was looking for OpenGL dll’s in a path that does not exist. In the new 0.201 upload, I have included these dll’s and altered the program so that it uses the included ones.
I did test the 0.2 version on three different machines, but it turns out all three had processing installed on the above path. Will need to start testing on a fresh Virtual Machine installation of Windows or I’ll keep bumping in to simple errors like this…
So if Mother 0.2 didn’t work for you, the good news are you didn’t do anything wrong, simply download 0.201 and give it another shot!

thanks Illias, i wondered why wasn't it working 🙂
will have a go at 2.01 🙂
Grigori,
Thanks for trying it out!
And if it doesn't work do not hesitate one second to email me so that we can get it working!
You will be doing me a favour in helping me dubug it on different platforms anyway.
Regards,
Ilias B.
