You can code together in Hydra (or Mercury) with for example the FLOK browser editor. For Mercury this is a bit more complicated, but you can follow the steps here:
- Laptop (Windows, MacOS, Linux)
- with Minimum of 4GB Ram and Intel i5 processor
- Decent wifi connection
- Headphones (wired)
- Brave Browser
- A webbrowser that supports WebGL, WebAudio and WebMIDI
- But any chromium based browser will suffice (for example Firefox, Opera, Brave, Arc, Chrome)
- Pulsar
- a multi-purpose code editor, always useful to have when coding
If you want to livestream and share you can install the following tools:
- Youtube Live
- Create a youtube account and activate it for live stream, this will require you to wait 24h so make sure you've done this before the workshop day.
- OBS
- This platform allows you to livestream or record your screen or seperate windows from applications. Very helpful if you like to record your works or want to go live on Youtube, Twitch, Facebook or where-ever.
- BlackHoleAudio for MacOS
- This software allows you to route sound internally from one application to another, for example if you want to share your sound over Discord, or Jitsi, Zoom, Skype, you name it.
- VB-Cables for Windows
- This software allows you to route sound internally from one application to another, for example if you want to share your sound over Discord, or Jitsi, Zoom, Skype, you name it.
