FoxDot is a Python programming environment created in 2015 by Ryan Kirkbride. It is designed in the aim to help people to combine coding and audio to create lice coding performance that’s mainly made up of musical elements. 

On the technical side, the installation of FoxDot is fairly simple. All it takes are a few lines of commands in the terminal and installation within SuperCollider. A command line will take you to the user interface of FoxDot within Python. 

The language FoxDot adopts actually resembles python in many ways. It also used the concept of  pattern and with functions it provides for manipulation of the patterns, we can easily build patterns for percussions and simple notes. 

hHowever, it does not have a ready to use web interface. With the limited number of functions in the library, there are also limited variations to the rhythm we are making. Moreover, the platform itself has not had any major updates for a long time, which means we are missing out on a lot of the novel development in live coding with this platform.
