Fantastick holidays..!

hello jusu,

i did not get it to work ...
i opend then FantastickArea.maxpat and
clicked the messabes from top to bottom
one after another.

i am very interested, what should happen :-)

the MMF-Fantastick_iPad_template works fine.

hello Donkey,

Nice to see someone tried :)

There are no flying santas or jingle-bells in this one. If you touch the device and see circles, it works.
(note that you need to have the fs help file with the connection block open, and fs version 2.3 or later)

The meat of the matter is the "area 1" command. It extends the data you receive about touches.

Try it: touch the screen with your fingertip. Then press your finger down, touching the screen with your full finger area. See the difference?

Isn't it nice?

Best,

j

hi

indeed it's nice - well, i managed to make bigger or smaller circles depending of the "pressure" (maybe it is not pressure, but anyhow, it works)

using the aka.datagram I was able to have the values back on my computer - if I understand well, X (0 or 1) means touching the surface, then M is the first finger, then B then E ?????

for each of them, a list of 4 numbers, being X, y, fingerNumber an the pressure, right?

*********

now if you could explain a little more the patch you use for making this, would be great - it's javascript i guess, and I don't understand it. For one thing, how to ask for only 5 circles (which is the max on an iPhone, when the iPad supports 11)?

many thanks for Fantastick!!

hello jusu,

i just recognized, that i am on version 2.2
i tryed to update the app on my iphone to 3.2 using the itunes appstore.

the update failed ...
it seems that the app is not availible anymore :-(

its a pity.

Kasper: yes, and B M and E are for begin, mode and end respectively, describing the touch type during the touch "lifetime".

If you check the connection patch in help file, it explains the finger data, but you essentially got it already.

The Javascript is described in this patch: http://pinktwins.com/fantastick/FantastickJS.maxpat
It has all the info on what FS supports, the rest is just javascript. You should really understand js to use it though.

Donkey: That's strange, I can see FS on the App Store just fine. Which country are you using?

Best,

j

I have the latest version, but just out of curiosity checked the app store (in France) and, yes, here too, even if you can SEE Fantastick, you can not buy it (they say something about the page being somewhere else....)

i am in germany.
it is like kaspar says, you can see the fantastick app as usual in the store.
but if you klick "buy" or "update" you get something like this:
the application is not availible anymore.

Ok, this is about not renewing my developer membership in time. *sigh*
I'm on it, and it should be updatable in a day or (max) two.

cheers

Should be available again.
