nc -l 12000

isadora – text formatter <-> text parser
Using a text parser / formatter combination to let multiple values flow through one wire. Extreme useful if you need to connect actors in multiple macro patches.
As the Actors having an intelligent way to save cpu cycles they don’t send or parse the same text string ones done. So if you need to send the same values again through the wire , you should add a port and use a changing value as a refresh signal like done here

building a custom isadora patch for tobias wallclown
including a qc composition as a host for kineme’s datatools to build the structure for 1024 polygonmask. The 6 Points are hard coded in the composition as the stage design stays the same. We are using a frame buffer to “hold” the image in the memory ones editing is done, so we could deactivate the qc patch and gain a higher fps.
