This looks insanely cool, thanks for sharing!

I'm curious to find resources on learning this tool however I was only able to find the tutorials from LXStudio.

Is anyone using this software in production and can comment on its experience vs. TouchDesigner? TouchDesigner's node system always pissed me off, as it felt like an unnecessary barrier that just made things harder.

Also in general, any VJs on hacker news?

EDIT: Some more instructions to run the application would be great, after loading the project locally and running `mvn validate`, I'm seeing the program execute but nothing is showing up on my screen.

I heard about LXS yesterday at the Burning Man Decompression event in SF. One of the creators [1] of the ladybug LED art installation told me that the ladybug is running LXS. They seemed friendly so you could probably totally just email them [2] for their take on LXS.

[2] Or drop by there studio next weekend - sounds like they're having an open house

Seems to be an issue with the latest macOS update, they had similar issues in macOS Ventura and I copied the fix over for macOS Sonoma and was able to see the IDE after running from IntelliJ.

Check out the PR if you're interested: https://github.com/heronarts/LXStudio/issues/6#issuecomment-...

Thank you for that. As mentioned in some other comments, I've given up continuing to use Processing as an underlying application UI framework. It's unclear how long the OpenGL dependency is going to survive on macOS, or that Processing will have the dev resources to break the hard OpenGL dependency (sad side-thread on that topic: https://twitter.com/ben_fry/status/1709400641456501020)

Future version based upon lwjgl+bgfx will be more broadly available soon.

In the meantime thx for the quick fix!
