Hi! My name's Spencer. Here's my website, here's my LDraw importer, and here's my GSoC 2012 project proposal.

How to use the Hive System

1. Grab a SOC 2012 Swiss Cheese build. You can try here, or you can build your own. It has to have some audio file back-end enabled (ffmpeg, sndfile) and some audio playing front-end enabled (OpenAL, SDL) for my demos to work.
2. Check out my Hive system branch:
   1. Download and install Bazaar.
   2. Run

      bzr branch lp:~impiaaa/hivesystem/blender

      on the command line in a folder somewhere.
   3. Copy, move, or link "bee," "dragonfly," and "libcontext" into ${Blender folder}/2.63/scripts/modules/, where ${Blender folder} depends on your platform. On Windows it's next to the executable, on Mac it's in blender.app/Contents/MacOS, and on Linux I think it's in /usr/share/blender.
3. Same with Spyder:
   1. Run

      bzr branch lp:spyder-framework

      in the same folder as before
   2. Rename spyder-framework to spyder
   3. Copy, move, or link "spyder" into ${Blender folder}/2.63/scripts/modules/
4. Now you're ready to run with the Hive system! You can try any of Sjoerd's demos, or my own:
   • File:Hive demo keyboard.zip: This Hive system example demonstrates sound filters, controller filters, and Python logic (for loops) within the hive definition.
   • File:Hive demo music player.blend: This demo demonstrates sound file streaming and real-time effects. I used this song, but you can choose whatever you want, just as long as you change the filename in the script too.
   • File:Hive demo entity spawning.blend: This demonstrates the Hive system's entity spawning facilities.
