ProxyFactory

To start building the GUI for rubyk, I decided to first implement an iPhone remote because:

1. I know objective C and iPhone development is very well documented (not like juce).
2. It will raise all the problems of a remote gui without involving the full complexity of a desktop application

Here is the list of commands (part of oscit protocol) that are used to build the proxy tree.

change value

And finally, this is what happens when values are changed:

coding time

I started writing the tests for this setup. The code will be part of the liboscit library.
