SpaceMusic Core

What it is

The Core is SpaceMusic’s engine: the program that takes the input, computes everything and draws the 3D picture on the graphics card. It is built in vvvv gamma (a visual programming tool, vvvv.org) with the Stride game engine (repo).

For us: The Core changes most often, so it is versioned and published separately from the SpaceMusic Host, which starts and updates it. Developers work on it in vvvv; everyone else gets it through the installer.

How to start

1. Normally you do not start it yourself: install SpaceMusic (SpaceMusic Installer) and the Host launches the core.
2. To work on it, start vvvv from the repo with Start.bat (developer start, see the guide below).
