Hey folks,

I’m a dad trying to make a simple Subway Surfers-style game in Isadora for my kids using a Kinect. I’m not very tech-savvy, but they love this kind of stuff and I’d love to inspire them.

If anyone has a basic patch with left/right movement or jumping, I’d be super grateful!

Thanks so much,

Hi guys, I'm new here. My oldest son has really got into tech work in theatres and my youngest now wants to get involved. I know this is forward but I'm trying to create some interactive games for the kids to play. Has anyone got any files already created to get the kids inspired? Thanks

@woland That's what I am considering, I will make my patches in Isadora 3 and will run them on a rented version of Isadora 4 for the final installation.

Thanks :)

@woland H.265 doesn't play on Xeon in Isadora. H.264 works.

In Isadora 4 everything works as expected, it recognises the 10 channels of my MOTU Sound card. 

It's my recommendation that you switch to Isadora 4 since your hardware issue doesn't exist in Isadora 4.0.9. If you're not in a position to upgrade right now, a more affordable solution would be to get a 7-Day or 30-Day Rental License (depending on the length of your project).

Some interesting FX there. I think this could be made in Isadora, I'd start with a mix of the Buffer actor, and the Freeze actor. These will allow you to grab the buffer for replay, where the Freeze will be used to 'space' the frames over time. Normally the Buffer actor will record every frame that comes in, and this idea of spreading the frames out can be accomplished by Freezing frames into the Buffer at different temporal rates. 

I am creating a series on Feedback, and have some great new tools to release shortly. I haven't played with the buffer like this yet, but this looks pretty fun.. so I think I'll give it a go.

Can you convert the file to a different codec and wrapper and see if it works that way?

I am sure this is possible to do entirely in Isadora. https://vimeo.com/748555134?sh...

Any help how is very much appreciated 

Trying to play a 360 video on a MacPro Xeon E5 rocessor, but it won't import into in Isadora . Mac OS Big Sur 11.5.1, 3Ghz 8-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, AMD FirePro D700 6GB GPU. Isadora version 4.0.9

Getting the error message: 

"The movie could not be read because one or more codecs used by a video or audio track are no supported (Error = 61)
The codecs used in this movie are: hvc1, aac"

The movie plays fine on two separate modern MB Pro machines, M1 and M3 processors.

Is this a processsor issue? Or something we can do in Isadora? The movie does play in QT player (as a flat movie) on this machine,

QLab and Isadora are pretty different beasts, but they both rely on CoreAudio under the hood (if I’m not mistaken), so it’s a good way to rule out OS or hardware issues.

This is an excellent idea and normally this would be a good test, but in this case one would be comparing the most recent version of QLab to Isadora 3.2.6, which was released in December of 2022.

If this were a problem with Isadora 4.0.9, (which @karlakr has now confirmed it is not), then it would be a valid test.
