Re: [sc-dev] SC3e - SuperCollider embedded

["Dan Stowell" <danstowell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

When cylob mentioned a similar idea a while ago, someone pointed out
that iPods etc don't have an FPU, so (AFAIK) it would be a massive
rewrite to get a fixed-point version of SC. In fact, that 'PDA' site
basically says they rewrote PD from scratch in fixed-point. If you're
willing to do that for SC I'll buy you many drinks!
