I've been trying to develop a game recently which is controlled by instruments. To do this I need to analyse the pitch of said instruments. I find max is pretty reliable source for this kind of analysis. However, all my graphical work etc. is being down in java as (lets face it) max is not really optimal for game development.

But I was wondering how I might embed a little max patch in my program for frequency detection that could just send out the note values to the rest of program to interpreted.

I have no idea how to do this and I can't find any particularly helpful articles so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, is this even a feasible, do max run time applications fall under the same copy control as the rest max. i.e. if package up my application with some max in it and distribute to people is it likely to fail at some point because of max licensing.

you might think about going libpd. (licencing..?)

About max: one ugly solution would of course be to start it seperately and let it communicate with your java app via OSC eg..

I'm sure there are lots of people who know a lot more about this.

Maybe Processing would be a good idea for you?
