And well I think controls is very cool part of the patch. It's very simple. Just a chain of I(F)'s looped by (O)ffset.
So you place a character in the output of bottom F, it gets read by offset and (V)ariable operands and instantly erased.
Then assign different actions based on the character coming from the variable.

I'm not very good at explaining things (also the character limit), but #Orca -people should understand

Here are some details on how lines are cleared.

After the piece is placed, the game stops, then:

1) every line gets scanned and numbers of filled lines are going to that upside down pyramid
2) The pyramid outputs the least line number and line is being cleared
3) X operands that hold #, decreases it's offset to gradually uncomment every line above so S operands falls down naturally.
4) scanning happens again, loop is repeated on until there are no filled lines. And the game continues.

#Orca

I'm finally ready to present you the second version of my #Orca #Tetris patch.

- Controls are much more responsive now, no delay felt at all
- Type and orientation of the piece is always monitored to prevent it from going out of the field
- Line deletion is bug free now. It scans every line after every placed piece and clears the filled ones one by one
- Overall while being much more complex, the code takes up much less space

This is definitely the most complex thing I made in Orca.

#Orca #SunVox #TornLeaf

New version of my #Orca #Sand patch.
Nothing much has changed, I just fixed a bug and now all the "sand grains" always land the way they should.

I also added some slopes to make it easier to see how the sand grains slide if the surface is not flat.

you can also consider this as a very WIP teaser of an additional track for my next EP.

#SunVox

I'm currently remaking the #Tetris game I made in #Orca from scratch. So here is WIP update on it.

Overall it's going to be more compact.
What's more important though - you can rotate the pieces and I reworked my idea with press-to-move-only-one-tile to be more much more elegant.

EDIT: Damn I'm so stupid, it can be just 2x more compact and it's so obvious. Was trying to think OUT of the box, but the solution was INSIDE and I was using it constantly before

Well, here is pure instanity, this time I tried to make Tetris in #Orca

No audio this time, sorry, apparently all of that is too cpu intensive, I wasn't able to record it without xruns.

It is not really finished and I didn't get as far as implementing the tetramino rotation and you can accidentally wipe the right border of the grid, but it's a job for another day I guess. I should probably redo it from scratch too.

Snake in #Orca is fun, but what about Arkanoid?

If you don't catch the "ball", the score is reset to zero and destroyed blocks are put back in place

Honestly, it was tough to record, I kept losing at the start.

#Sunvox

#Orca Snake game v2

Now the tail grows when you eat and new food is spawned randomly, there are scores now and some kind of game over message when you bump into wall.

Sadly you can't grow your tail infinitely, max length = 15 tiles (with head)

#Sunvox #Orca

Okay here is a Snake game I made in #Orca

You can't die or grow, but anyway.

(yeah this is what I do instead of finishing the second EP)

#Orca #Sunvox

#Jamuary #14

Tried some ideas to use T operand less, ended up wasting a lot of space, but it was interesting.

As always, #Orca + #SunVox

#Orca #SunVox #Music #Jam

#Jamuary #7

This time I've got a crazy idea that was not involved something real musical in it, so I'm not sure how it sounds again, but look at that Christmas tree with it's twinkle lights and all that snow.

Background sounds are partly triggered by snow falling on the tree, and the main sounds are turning on only after almost all the ground is covered in "snow". "Almost" because I lost some logic somewhere and it didn't worked as I expected and it was too late to fix it.

#Orca #SunVox

#Jamuary №3
So I came back to #PureData to try #Automatonism project (gives you a large set of premade blocks and a nice menu for selecting it), pretty cool thing - https://www.automatonism.com/the-software

Of course, controlling it with #Orca as always.

Also I'm just not made for performing anything live, it took so many tries to film it. And it mixed so bad.

Oookay, here we go. #jamuary day 2 I guess, because I missed the 1st day.

Short one. Honestly I'm not sure I will be doing a lot of long recordings during this jam like I did back in #febrajam, its very time consuming for me, I'd better stick to working on EP's (yeah sure you I'm not lying).

Also 1st time using O operand as @neauoire suggested haha. Maybe I'll use this jam to master Orca better.

#Orca #Sunvox #Music

Wow, I found my first #Orca project from 2-3 years ago when I just learnt about it and was only trying to make #music with it (and didn't thought I'd stick to it so much). So let it be another #looptober loop.

I changed it a bit to use my current #sunvox setup though.

If you don't hear anything musical here, then you just put 0 effort. Listen to it for several hours non-stop like I did, and you'll realise it's a masterpiece.

Video should loop perfectly too if it's rendered correctly

#looptober #orca #sunvox

I finally managed to do something for #looptober

A loop patch for #orca, I just need to start it with some amount of flying operators and it will play itself forever, unless I block the path with something

#sunvox #loop #music

added LFO modulator/tremolo to my orca sampler folderkit, also doubling as clocked one-shot envelope

#theWorkshop #orca

Idk what I'm doing exactly, but I got Conway's Game of Life running in the command line and now I'm thinking about how cellular automatons could be manipulated by signals coming from other apps. Specifically interested in what it would be like to have "living" visuals that are in some way representative of the patterns being sent from #orca
