Arroost is a ridiculous music-making tool.

I'm making it for my next video called 🎵 Arrows in Arrows in Arrows. Watch the teaser trailer!

Arroost is a mad all-star mix of big ideas from my previous projects:

• visual programming language
• cellular automata
• time travel
• fractals

It's not ready yet!
But when it is, it'll be up at arroost.com.

This repo has two parts.

1. The user-interface is in the arroost folder.
2. The inner-engine is in the nogan folder.

Yeah!

Check out the issues for ideas on what to explore. I have no immediate plans to do anything marked as stretch goal, so feel free to dive into one of those!

Another way to get involved is by testing out Arroost on different devices, and letting me know what bugs it has (by making an issue). If you're interested, check out the guide!

I'm very happy to help you with any of this, as I'm actively working on Arroost! Contact me in the fediverse. (Sorry, I don't use X anymore).

Yes! To run it locally, clone this repo, then run a local file server.
I recommend installing deno's file server:

deno install --allow-net --allow-read https://deno.land/std/http/file_server.ts

Then run it with:

file_server

To run the tests, run:

deno test --watch .

It's a secret (for now).

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Arroost!
