Official poll -- what do you want next?
Curious to hear what folks here are most interested in!

I have a suggestion. Particle configs have an option PDur="15" or whatever, how about the same option for FlowFields, WaveShapes and ColorMaps.

Re: Official poll -- what do you want next?
it is very exciting to have you back, andy. you don't know me, but i have been using g-force for over 20 years since it was a winamp plugin. i have purchased and repurchased it multiple times, and have been glad to do so in the hopes you will continue to do this work.
now as a longtime user, here's my opinion. i need G-Force on my living room tv in some way. I don't want to plug my phone or my laptop into my TV. I want something that can stay connected permanently. I use Airplay throughout my house to stream to various rooms simultaneously, and I would need it to work within that ecosystem. In my living room, I Airplay music from my iPhone to my AppleTV.
The ideal form would be an AppleTV G-Force app that responds to music streamed in from my phone via Airplay. I realize this is likely impossible with Apple's TVOS sandboxing limitations.
Second choice would be some kind of purpose-built set top box hardware. I am thinking of a small fanless device that can sit under my TV that would be able to run G-Force at 4K 60fps. It would have line-in and a microphone and maybe even be an Airplay 2 target if such a thing is possible. (Otherwise I could get one of those Belkin Airplay targets and run it through the line in jack.)
You would be able to decide on the best chipset to run G-Force most efficiently, and then tweak G-Force itself however needed so that it runs perfectly on that specific hardware. I suppose it may have to be some flavor of Android under the hood, to be cost effective. I give this box power, an HDMI cable, and an audio source, and then I get to sit back and listen to my music with G-Force on my nice OLED screen. Dolby Vison or HDR would be great, but not a requirement.
I've previously built something like this using a spare 2012 Mac Mini using standalone G-Force and a microphone, but it ran hot even at 720p and using a microphone as the input caused a bit of a lag. I figure we can do a bit better 12 years later, right?
Thank you!

Re: Official poll -- what do you want next?
I; upon seeing the new programs, brought them all. But as to what I would like to see next is simple: Winter Wonders 2024. But that's just me.

Hi y'all and forum junkies. New versions live today, but DanPin mentioned there may be an issue with reactivity in WMP and will look into asap!
On my worklist is config submissions that are scheduled for 5.9.3 in 1-2 weeks when WW is released.
Thanks BTT and DanPin and everyone else supporting these efforts as I burn the candle at both ends to get through this strenuous phase. The overall vision is to have a private alpha by late Dec or January that eventually turns into Tunr (v2) but for all platforms, packed with all new 3D visuals (as well as G-Force).
