Programming in Touchdesigner

📍 *TouchDesigner Programming Tutorial: Best Practices*
In this tutorial, we delve into the best practices for using programming within TouchDesigner. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. *Setting Up Your Project:*
- Open a basic TouchDesigner project.
- Create a function to change parameters, such as offsets or video paths.
- Use a data table to store important project values, e.g., project width.
2. *Creating and Using Tables:*
- Insert all relevant data into a single table for easy access and management.
- Example: Store project width and other essential parameters in one table to avoid searching for them throughout the project.
3. *Customizing Components:*
- Create a new parameter in a component (e.g., a number from 0 to 100).
- Link parameter changes to functions for dynamic updates.
4. *Writing Functions:*
- Centralize functions in one node for cleaner and more manageable code.
- Example: A function that updates the index number whenever a parameter changes.
5. *Parameter Execution:*
- Use the Parameter Execute DAT to trigger functions when parameters change.
