Syntax highlighting for "dummy interpreters"
If you are and your fellow live coders are in the same room using Troop, it's often most convenient for only one laptop to produce sound (the master). When one user logs in using an interpreter, such as TidalCycles, all others can log in using the "No Interpreter" option or --mode none
flag. When the "master" laptop receives text in the console, it is sent to all of the other users so you can see exactly what your code is doing. Futhermore, you can select the language for syntax highlighting / keyboard short-cuts at the log in window or use the --syntax
flag to choose the language you wish to emulate.
