<p>
This project was intended to be the final project for

<a href="https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/306/">
MUMT 306 - Music & Audio Computing I.
</a>
</b>
<br>
<br>
It was also a <b>

<h2> Goals </h2>
<hr>
<p>
The goal of this project is to introduce
</p>
<ul class="r-fit-text">
<li> The Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol standard </li>
<li> <a href="https://supercollider.github.io" target="_blank">
SuperCollider (<code>sclang</code>)
</a>
and the SuperCollider IDE (<code>scide</code>) </li>
<li> The client-server architecture of SuperCollider (<code>scsynth</code>)</li>
<li> Application of OSC in spatialized and real-time audio synthesis </li>
</ul>
</section>
<section id="motivation">
<h2> Motivation </h2>
<hr>
<p>
I've worked (albeit <i>indirectly</i>) with SuperCollider in the past with project
<a href="https://image.a11y.mcgill.ca" target="_blank">IMAGE</a> at the Shared Reality Lab.
</p>
<p>
I was blown away by the capabilities of SuperCollider and the joy of creating sounds from simple
sinusoid waves that I learned from my Signal Processing classes.
</p>
<p>
Since OSC is relatively less popular to MIDI, I wanted to spread the word about this amazing
technology via a SuperCollider workshop.
</p>

<section id="structure">
<h2> Project structure </h2>
<hr>
<p> This project contains 2 main parts: </p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<b><a href="./presentation/">Presentation</a></b>: An brief introduction & history of
the OSC protocol, along with a step-by-step beginner's guide to SuperCollider to create
simple sounds.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<b><a href="https://github.com/notkaramel/RunningBlobby" target="_blank">"Running Blobby"
game</a></b>:
a Python game that uses SuperCollider to synthesize realtime
and spatialized audio effects. (Licensed under <i>MIT License</i>)
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<section id="difficulties">
<h2> Difficulties </h2>
<hr>
<p>
The main difficulties were the <b>time constraint</b>, <b>content selection</b> for the workshop
presentation, and <b>adapting OSC in Python to work with SuperCollider</b> for the game.
</p>
</section>
<section id="difficulties-content-selection">
<h2 class="r-fit-text"> Difficulties: Content selection </h2>
<hr>
<p>
SuperCollider is a <b>vast and complex software</b>, and given the <i>2-hour time limit</i> for the
workshop,
I had to carefully select the content to be presented to the audience so that they can
understand and follow along, assuming <b>zero prior knowledge of the software</b>.

<h2> Outcomes </h2>
<hr>
<p>
The workshop was a success!
</p>
<p>
The workshop participants had a fun time learning about SuperCollider and making sound effects for the game!
</p>
<p>
The project can be used for future workshops or as a learning resource for those interested in SuperCollider and OSC.
