Hey all,

I made a video demo of the robotcowboy app: https://vimeo.com/52557228

----

Description

The robotcowboy app is an audio/visual environment for performance with visual Lua scripting and Pure Data audio patching. Think of it as Processing and PD wrapped up into a single app that will run on Mac/Win/Linux and iOS.

It features:
* a Pure Data audio instance
* a Lua scripting environment inspired by OpenFrameworks/Processing
* a scene system including playlists
* midi io (yes, on iPad too)
* inter-app OSC communication
* 2d physics using Box2d

The idea is that I want a single environment focused on performance with an easy workflow that doesn't involve compilation (ala C++ & OpenFrameworks) and runs on multiple platforms. This way, I can get in the flow, make some scenes, upload them to my iPad, and go play a show.

Check it out on Github: github.com/danomatika/robotcowboy

>> As a first step we are cleaning up our "old" apps which also means that we are retiring the good old RjDj app. Don't be sad, we are working on some great new content released through "The Dark Knight Rises Z+" app and we are also working on the exciting "Music Zones" project which we are currently test driving in the UK app store.
>> 
>> So starting from next week, we won't make the app available in the app store anymore, so if you are a nostalgic app collector, this is your last chance to get it. You will still be able to use the installed app but we won't be supporting it any longer. This means that you won't be able to upload recordings or download scenes. On October 8th we will also change our website.

I have used RjDj for a number of small experiments and are sad to see it go, but in the end I needed something that works more for my needs, so I've been working towards making my own app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This app is being built in OpenFrameworks, so it works on Mac/Win/Lin & iOS. Android support could be added, but I don't have an android device.
