I have downloaded a version of Boids for Max. I used it previously with Pure Data, but it's been a little while. So I'm currenly browsing the patches, but I have trouble getting the simulation running.

There are several folders : [boids], [boids 2D], [boids 3D], [jitter boids 2D], [jitter boids 3D], and [jitter boids render]. I've first open boids help, and there is an abstraction in the patch that seems to be missing [ graphic Boids! ], and which is required to have the graphic window open. I also opened jit.boids 2D help, and the simulation doesn't run either. I am not used to jitter at all so maybe I'm making comfusions.... I don't really know which patch I should use : I 'd like to control sound synthesis for a start using stereo than later 3D spatial audio, with correspondances between 2D and 3D visualization. Thanks for your help !

Hi everyone!
I have downloaded a version of Boids for Max.  I used it previously with Pure Data, but it's been a little while. So I'm currenly browsing the patches, but I have trouble getting the simulation running.
I downloaded the programme here :
http://s373.net/code/
and used the last version.

There are several folders : [boids], [boids 2D], [boids 3D], [jitter boids 2D], [jitter boids 3D], and [jitter boids render]. I've first open boids help, and there is an abstraction in the patch that seems to be missing [ graphic Boids! ], and which is required to have the graphic window open. I also opened jit.boids 2D help, and the simulation doesn't run either. I am not used to jitter at all so maybe I'm making comfusions....

Thanks for your help !


boids

You know there is a help patch that comes with max that does exactly this? search for 'Flies.maxhelp' it's hidden away in the java help folder. This might be quicker for you than having to trouble shoot your install and then learn jitter....
