FAQPage Schema
What is live patching in vvvv gamma and how does it work?

Live patching in vvvv gamma allows real-time visual programming where patches update instantly during execution. It uses frame-based execution to continuously evaluate nodes, pins, and pads without requiring project recompilation.

How do I integrate C# projects with vvvv gamma patches?

You can integrate C# projects with vvvv gamma by using source project references or binary references. This workflow supports live reload behavior, allowing patch compilation to interact directly with external C# files and NuGet packages.

Do I need to know C# to use vvvv gamma for live visual patching?

Knowing C# is not strictly required for basic vvvv gamma live patching, but it is necessary for advanced integration. The environment supports referencing external C# projects, shader files, and NuGet packages for extended functionality.

What are the core data types and execution concepts in vvvv gamma?

Core vvvv gamma concepts include data types, frame-based execution, pins, and pads. These elements define how visual nodes process and propagate information within the live patching workflow.

How does live reload handle shader files and NuGet packages in vvvv?

Live reload in vvvv gamma detects changes in shader files and NuGet packages, updating the patch environment dynamically. This allows continuous visual output adjustment while managing external project dependencies.

What is the difference between source project references and binary references in vvvv?

Source project references link external C# code directly for live compilation within the patch, whereas binary references use compiled assemblies. Source references enable deeper live reload integration during development.
