The Tools
This topic is a cookbook of sorts, and this chapter covers the key ingre-
dients. The concepts and tools you'll use in every chapter are intro-
duced here. There's enough information on each tool to get you to the
point where you can make it say
“Hello World!”
Chances are you've
used some of the tools in this chapter before—or ones just like them.
Skip past the things you know and jump into learning the tools that are
new to you. You may want to explore some of the less-familiar tools
on your own to get a sense of what they can do. The projects in the
following chapters only scratch the surface of what's possible for most
of these tools. References for further investigation
are provided.
Happy Feedback Machine by Tuan Anh T. Nguyen
The main pleasure of interacting with this piece comes from the feel of flipping the switches and turning the knobs.
The lights and sounds produced as a result are secondary, and most people who play with it remember how it feels
rather than its behavior.
