See patch messages in real-time


Is it possible to send messages to a patch using libPd for iOS and see visual updates in real-time? I tried loading the patch from the simulator directory into the editor, then interacting with my to send Pd messages, however no visual updates happened.

Does libpd use the patch-file as a state store?


Solution

  • where do you want to see the visual updates? libPd itself is not "visual", the only "visual" part of your application would the GUI you have written for the app.

    • whenever you send a message to libPd, update your GUI

    • whenever you receive a message from libPd, update your GUI
