Objective C for Max 5

Written by: niklas | Posted on: 04-26-2008

I bought my upgrade of Max 5 yesterday, and I'm of course eagerly waiting for my license code. Trying to put Objective-C and Cocoa into all that I do, I found RÃ©my Muller's blogpost about writing Objective-C externals for Max. Also, [Electrotap]() has posted ObjectiveMax on Google Code. It's dual-licensed GPL/Commercial which of course make BSD licensed code and closed-source-but-free a non-option. I'll probably try out both and port much of my Java stuff over to have it working at greater speed and tested with Max 5

On the same page, RÃ©my writes about Bonjour for Max/MSP, and with my iPhone development efforts such as Lighting Matrix I'm planning on implementing a Bonjour interface as an option to UDP. (I'd also like to try out bluetooth just like the Wii interface aka.wiiremote, but that's not a near-future plan as I'm not sure it's supported through the official SDK yet)
