¯\hey .. could someone please give explanation of how templates/lists work ?


¯\ex what is happening in 7.stuff/data-structures/*

in this directory there is a readme, or 01.intro.txt or something ..
basically, the template mechanism is for managing 'multidimensional'
lists (as i understand it),
i.e. you can define the data-structure of a single list-entry via a
template, which can
be made up of numbers, (theoretically symbols/text?), and other lists.
and then dynamically expand or shrink your custom made list, fill and
refill them, change their size, etc  

¯\( pointer, element, append, traverse, sublist, getsize, setsize, get, set .. etc )

these are just the commands for managing the mess.
and speak for themselves? see
pd/pd/doc/7.stuff/data-structures/0.intro.txt

¯\+ does until work ? how does work ?

yup.
it takes 2 bangs, 1 to start and one to stop.
basically, my experience with it is that its a very efficient way to hang
pd. ;)
it should be modified so you can tell it by a number how many bangs to
emit. or is there another object doing this?
