vvvv (commonly pronounced 'fear fow' meaning "4 v's" in German or 'fow fear' meaning "v4" in German) is general purpose toolkit with a special focus on real time video synthesis and programming large media environments with physical interfaces, real-time motion graphics, audio and video. VVVV uses a data flow approach and a visual programming interface for rapid prototyping and developing. Applications written in vvvv are commonly called patches. Patches consist of a network of nodes. Patches can be created, edited and tested while they are running. Patches are stored on the disk in standard XML format. VVVV is written in Borland Delphi, plugins can be developed in the .NET Framework in C#.
Most nodes handle data in a one dimensional array of values, called Spreads. In addition to traditional vector algebra this allows very intuitive programming of particle systems, as also rendering nodes and deal with arrays of values accordingly. If an operation has to deal with arrays of different...
