DevLog 20260225: Divooka Visual Programming - Direct Value Setting of Compound Inputs
Finally, it arrived! Well, not exactly here yet, but almost. Overview Divooka intends to make visual programming simple and accessible - the accessible part is both due to the availability and general purpose nature, but the simple part is what we spend lots of effort thinking hard and improving. In the past, dealing with complex configuration takes the form of either "explosion" of arguments or dedicated "Make" compounds: Both approach makes the canvas look busy, with the former a common approach in existing systems. Below shows how it's done in Blender and ComfyUI. In Blender, you can sort of "collapse" a node. As a syntax purist and (unfortunately) very conscious about my working space, things look messy in my eyes. I kind of like how Houdini approaches this. Essentially they offload all the complexity to the properties panel. Our Approach compound values (especially value types) should just allow "editing in place" through a property panel. Future Work There is still remaining work
