Hello World

• See Sec. 2.4.2 - 2.4.3 of the Pure Data Manual regarding message passing, infinite loops, and hot and cold inlets.

• In plugdata, you can mouse-over inlets and outlets to get information about the type of data that is expected to be input or output to each.

• Note the difference in shape between “message” and “object” boxes in Pd.

• A message box does nothing until it receives a “bang” or it is clicked.

• The bng GUI object sends out the “bang” message.

• Print objects can take an argument to help distinguish multiple instances from each another.
