artloop is a command-line interface that cycles through all applications within a folder on a timed interval for art installations.
artloop is a command-line interface that cycles through all generative art applications within a folder on a timed interval.
artloop currently only works on macOS due to how the script looks for executables inside of *.app/Contents/MacOS/*.
with cargo:
cargo install artloop
with npm:
npm install artloop
to confirm artloop is installed, you can run which artloop in your terminal.
to start artloop, provide a relative folder location and a number of minutes each artwork should run.
artloop <FOLDER> --time <MINUTES>
# example: artloop ./content --time 10
artloop will run until the script is canceled with CTRL + C (^C)
to have artloop run at startup, add a line to $HOME/.bash_profile which calls the artloop script and supplies a relative folder path containing applications.
For now, any creative coding project (e.g. openFrameworks, Processing, Unity) that is bundled as a macOS application package (i.e. a file that ends in .app) will work with artloop.
Next versions will enable web based project folders that will launch in a web view.
