Progress Report by Bruno Siu

I have been working on the interface functions on Max.

I have the main parts working, but there are a few problems I need to adjust.

Video trigger:


The above shows the trigger function, by clicking on the image the video will start and pause. The extra comments in the patch are research notes.

Problem: 
  1. The video will constantly play in a loop and won't return to the beginning on the second click.


Audio Trigger:


Again by clicking on the image the audio will start playing. It will fade in at the beginning and fade out at the end to prevent 'clicks'.

Problem: 
  1. It ignores the second click, therefore it can't be paused/stopped.
  2. If the audio is still playing, a third click will force a fade out causing the audio to end abruptly. 
Journey (bottom part of screen 2):


The knob/dot will move automatically if the user answered correctly. It can move vertically, horizontal and with correct maths, diagonally.


Problem:
  1. The imported picture will not fit the object, no matter what size I made it. This includes both background and knob/dot.
I already emailed Rob regarding the difficulties and awaiting his reply. 

I'm also looking at C74 forums, Max help-pages and 'try&error' for possible solution.

  1. Hi Bruno,

    I think the best thing will be to meet up with you for a tutorial so I can work with you to edit your patches. I see you've already booked a slot, but believe you will be coming with Rachael to talk about Long Study then. You should book another slot in addition so we can sort this out. There should also be some time on Monday afternoon for troubleshooting.
