## about

artloop is a command-line interface that cycles through all generative art applications within a folder on a timed interval.

artloop currently only works on macOS due to how the script looks for executables inside of `*.app/Contents/MacOS/*`.

## installation

with `cargo`:
```shell
cargo install artloop
```

with `npm`:
```shell
npm install artloop
```

to confirm artloop is installed, you can run `which artloop` in your terminal.


## usage 

to start artloop, provide a relative folder location and a number of minutes each artwork should run.

```shell
artloop <FOLDER> --time <MINUTES>
# example: artloop ./content --time 10
```

artloop will run until the script is canceled with `CTRL + C` (^C)

## running automatically at startup

to have artloop run at startup, add a line to `$HOME/.bash_profile` which calls the artloop script and supplies a relative folder path containing applications.

## participate

### creating compatible artwork

For now, any creative coding project (e.g. openFrameworks, Processing, Unity) that is bundled as a macOS application package (i.e. a file that ends in `.app`) will work with artloop.

Next versions will enable web based project folders that will launch in a web view.
