💖 scide(1) — ok bestie, let's talk about the SuperCollider IDE 💖

general commands manual energy, but make it cute. This is the manual page for scide, aka the SuperCollider IDE, and yes we're doing this whole thing together, no skimming. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

scide — the SuperCollider IDE 👑

Like. That's the whole name section. Short, sweet, iconic, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scide

That's it. That's the whole invocation. No flags, no args, nothing to memorize, she just launches and you're in. Slay. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so first things first: SuperCollider is a real time audio synthesis programming language. Like, you write code and it makes sound, live, immediately. It's giving wizardry, it's giving main character, it's literally a whole audio synthesis language and it lives in your terminal's heart. 🔥

This manual page documents briefly the scide command — and scide is the authoring environment for SuperCollider code. So think of it as the cozy little home where you write your SuperCollider stuff. It's not the language itself, it's the place you go to write the language. The vibe check here is: IDE, for SuperCollider, that's the whole deal. ✨

Also super important, don't miss this: SuperCollider has documentation in the HTML format, and that documentation is available in the supercollider-doc package. So if you're like "where are the docs bestie 😭" — they're in that package, in HTML, go get 'em. 📚

ngl if you skipped the supercollider-doc package and then wondered why nothing is documented, that's a you problem and the manpage is telling you right now, lovingly. 🍓

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Because we always shout out our friends:

• sclang(1) — the SuperCollider language, the whole other icon
• /usr/share/doc/supercollider-server — a whole directory of docs, go explore, you'll be obsessed 🦋
