vvvv-custom-nodes

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of writing custom C# nodes for vvvv gamma, enabling developers to extend vvvv's functionality with their own logic and components.

Core Features & Use Cases

• ProcessNode Pattern: Understand and implement the core [ProcessNode] attribute for stateful nodes.
• Pin Configuration: Learn how to define input and output pins, including visibility and grouping.
• Change Detection: Implement efficient recomputation by detecting input changes.
• Service Consumption: Access vvvv's core services like NodeContext, IFrameClock, and Game.
• Use Case: You need to create a custom node that performs a complex simulation or integrates with an external library. This Skill guides you through structuring your C# code to work seamlessly within vvvv.

Quick Start

Write a new C# node class using the [ProcessNode] attribute and define its Update method with out parameters first, followed by value inputs.
