Welcome to the ChucK code examples from our Manning book, "Introduction to Programming for Digital Artists," Just about all of the code shown in the book can be found in various forms in this sample source code that accompanies this book. The sample code can be downloaded free of charge from the Manning website at: www.manning.com/ProgrammingforMusiciansandDigitalArtists The accompanying sample code (including related audio files) is installed automatically when you install ChucK. On a Mac it can be found in: /Library/ChucK/examples/book/digital-artists/, while on Windows it is located at: C:\Program Files\ChucK\examples\book\digital-artists\. On Linux, if you follow the installation procedure described in appendix A, the sample code can be found in: /usr/local/share/doc/chuck/examples/book/digital-artists/ All of the sample code from this book can be accessed directly in miniAudicle by navigating to: File > Open Example and locating book/digital-artists in the Example Browser. NOTE: ChucK works on Mac OS X 10.5+ or later, Windows XP or later, or a suitable Linux system. Certain terms in text and code appear in color in the eBook, and in the miniAudicle editor windows. This is the miniAudicle recognizing those reserved words and coloring them by type. Enjoy! and Happy ChucKing! Ajay, Perry, Spencer, and Ge
