sls & pco: video games that can play video games from paper kettle on Vimeo.
"This quick/rough video walks through a patch that I built and demonstrates an example of a video game feedback loop.
In this patch, the Soviet Life Sequencer (SLS) sends sequencer information to drive 2 things: 1) a blippy synthesizer, and 2) another game: the Paddle Controlled Oscillator (PCO). Simultaneously, PCO paddle/ball collisions & misses determine the motion of falling blocks in SLS.
Thus, this patch creates a self-sustained feedback loop where two video games are playing each other.
These games will be freely available from paperkettle.com by the end of June 2011. To get an alert when they're released, subscribe to:

(yo dawg, I heard you like video games, so I made video games that play video games so your video games can play video games while you play video games)"
