Adding scripting capabilities to Zonea

yoggi

I'm new to Zonea and I have not used the software as I'm waiting for the Mac and Linux version.

I have been looking through the manual and from what I can see Zonea has no scripting capabilities built in.

I would suggest / request that scripting capabilities would be added. Initially simple scripting, but later more advanced. Something like TouchOSC (https://hexler.net/touchosc).

Maybe Python or Lua scripting capabilities could be added to Zonea?!

Edit: This might be the way to go about it!?

Thanks for the suggestion! Yes, scripting is something we plan to add to Zonea.

Our priority right now is to finish and release the Mac and Linux versions. Once those versions are launched, we’ll be looking into adding scripting capabilities, initially with simpler scripting and potentially more advanced options later on.

PabloMartin Any idea how far away the mac version may be?

It’s getting close! We’re in the final stages of the Mac version now. I don’t want to give an exact date yet, but hopefully it won’t be much longer.
