Autumn 2022 Update

Project status and other stuff

1. I’ve merged https://www.algocompsynth.com into this blog. The URLS https://www.algocompsynth.com and https://www.algocompsynth.com/ will both send you here.

2. The only sports analytics I’m currently doing is women’s basketball. I deleted all the old posts associated with sports analytics, but there will be some WNBA season wrapup posts coming, and if I can get the data easily, some NCAA women’s basketball posts.

3. My main near-term focus is on computer music, both analog and digital synthesis and algorithmic compositions. I have two main projects there:

   1. https://github.com/AlgoCompSynth/AlgoCompSynth-One
   2. https://github.com/AlgoCompSynth/eikosany

   I am starting a third project called CLAMS (Command Line Algorithmic Music System). There’s not much of a plan yet but I can give a few highlights:

   • CLAMS will be an interactive interpretive system based on Forth.

   • CLAMS will target Arm Cortex M micro-controllers. The goal is to run on the Electro-Smith Daisy, the Teensy 4.1 and the Raspberry Pi Pico. The initial implementation will be for the Raspberry Pi Pico, which is the least powerful of the three boards.

   • CLAMS will be open source. I haven’t picked a license yet but I’m learning towards GPL 3 because I may be using ideas from other GPL Forth implementations in source form. There’s an empty repo at https://github.com/AlgoCompSynth/CLAMS.

   • CLAMS will most likely be a VSCode project. VSCode supports Forth, all of the micro-controller SDKs I’m going to need, and the documentation toolset I’m going to use (Quarto).
