Hello fellow programmers! I have an audio networking project to do for my uni assignment and have decided to heavily include max patches to make it awesome. Please have in mind that I am very new to MAX as we don't have the lectures on it till next year. The idea for the project would be to make a horror room from the entire classroom using about 20 Macs all connected to the same ethernet network. The basic idea is to use colour tracking to play video clips in full screen as they are triggered when the subject passes the screen. I have a basic colour tracking patch already that is connected to a slider but that would probably need to be changed to some sort of a trigger that would play a scary clip in ... Logic? Dear MAX community, please help me build this project. I will be updating regularly and answering any questions for specifics. Thank you for taking your time to read this prolonged post! :)

Its a bit vague now.


OK, 1 problem I have encountered is as the video output will be full screen, I want to be able to make a switch to output another video when I want it to, but I cannot be running around switching different screens, as I think you can only have one video screen anyway.. how do I go around this? is there a function to switch clips in the playlist outputting it to the same screen but only if I tell it to? Thanks. PS the project is coming along very nicely :)

Send output to jit.gl.videoplane @transform reset 2 ( makes it full screen )

Click on gswitch to switch video input or send it an int.

Use gswitch inputs 4
Plug in 4 videos

Exciting horror project. Help me realise it!
