nodebox 2

congrats on nodebox 2!- will the libraries for nb1 be usable for nb2?

They will when ported, but a little patience is requested. Any particular libraries in mind you want to see appear first?

I would like to know if code made with nodebox 1 run well in nodebox 2. If it's allright, is there a manipulation to do ?
Thanks

Hi- the libraries in Nodebox are interesting to use in creative projects and it would be great to see them ported eventually- though I would like to see the most is OSC- as to connect with sound/music software

I should think the code is the same-havent tried yet though

here's my vote for the library porting priority:

1 - colors
2 - svg
3 - noise
4 - database
5 - coreimage-like functionalities

My top two are colors and grid, followed by svg. I guess coreimage would be up at the top also, since (I assume) we won't be able to just do imports from AppKit anymore with NB2 being built on Jython. Or am I wrong about that?

Hey,

I've written a guide detailing the changes between NodeBox 1 and 2. You probably also want to read the frequently asked questions that tries to answer your questions.

As always, if you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask away.

Is it possible to see a OSC library for Nodebox 2 before january?

Best regards,
João Menezes

Hi João,

Although the OSC library has a high priority in porting, it is very unlikely we'll have it ported to NodeBox 2 before January. The OSC library itself is not that hard to port (since it's all regular Python, without C extensions) but it requires a working animation framework which we do not have at the moment.

All the best,

Frederik

Thanks for the transition guide and FAQ, Frederik!
