You might not want that. I was going to post some quip about RDJ's (aka Aphex Twin) code, so I'll do it here.

I could tell this app wasn't written by RDJ, because it's fairly well laid out, and his code has always been that of a messy tinkerer.

He's released several bits of code on the web, most of it pseudonymous and it's always been a hacked up mess. I've "uncovered" him a few times, just by recognizing his chicken scratch code.

Edit: I won't mention any of his pseudonyms, except one that's semi-public and long-retired: eric_hard_jams ("richard james" with the "e" moved). He used that one around the turn of the millenium. If you Google it, keep in mind that some fans later co-opted the handle for their own use.

Edit 2: Also, hi Richard! I'm sure you're reading, and I hope life and fatherhood are treating you well.

I had no idea he was a coder at all. What kind of code did he release? Is it all music related?

Also how are you so sure he’s reading this?

Max/MSP, some C/C++. All sound related, that I know of. He used to spend a lot of time online. Much more than he lets on. I don't know what he's doing now -- immersed in family and normal life stuff, I reckon.

I don’t think I ever came across any code that was accredited to Richard. Definitely remember some max/msp patches throwing the Autechre name around. Still love the supercollider bbcut libraries, Nick Collins definitely knew what the rephlex folks were up to :D

>> chicken scratch code

I guess I would just like to see how musical genius translates, particularly if code is viewed as an art form in itself.
