MULTIPLAY, RESOLUME

how about some more infomation on the work? I am very curious to know what multiplay is like the descriction is too vauge, do you have people playing the games? what games? is it been mixed through res? i so how? I guess what I'm asking is for those of us not fortunate to be in such a flurishing mutimedia enviroment as you have over there is more infomation.

We made pong for two players in flash and ran feedback effects and video underneath that on a flat surface.

Edwin made a customized version of resolume that sends midi signals from two atari paddles (retrofitted to send midi signals) to flash and the flash could also send signals to resolume to swich channels, adjust the opacity of the layers etc.

Very cool, I had an idea to try and get the z80 games as the source to do something like that this is telling me I need to bite the bullet and learn flash. and I must say that that feedback is looking hot. I must admit since you guys added the feedback source I have been mixing it up with all different types of feedback loops including cam on screen and mixing a feed from the v4 back through another channel on the mixer you can have great fun with a swipe and some negative effects. and chucking a beat triggered meatel image over the source, keep bringing bit of image in to the chaos then cut to a shot of some nice carm water to totally brake thair brain, depending on te kind of crowd bring in little bits of porn in the build up or a rock and roll close up of hands playing instrument, but I love how this feedback is so refined espeshually the top one. - jim

...

Can we expect that for the next (major?) version of Resolume? Flash can talk to Resolume, send commands?
Would be great, opening a bag full of new possibilities!
