Update

[kevin-roark]

Hey y'all,

So i got distracted today by the meats. Bouncing with beats rhythm now works in game, and i figured out how to make processing read beats array from javascript (aka midi to level works great). Also, playing sounds in rhythm works pretty much like it should, but definitely needs fine-tuning. Good news: our game is really fun (and will be much better once its actually smooth) and really hard.

Good news #2: Augusto your new lives thing works well, barely affects frame rate! Bad news: your hill thing is for some reason really expensive; normal frame rate is around 55~60 and drawing hills drops it to around 35. This is of course a playable rate, but I imagine it will drop lower once more things are added, and we don't want to waste precious frames on hills. There has to be a better way to do them. Aaaaand i added feature in gameplay state where if you press q you get to view current frame rate, which is surprisingly useful.

Great workin' with you guys I'm excited!!

Yay!

Been brainstorming about how we're triggering audio, let me run something by you all. If we have the audio triggered by the player, we run into the fairly serious problem that most people don't have perfect groove, which means they will be all over the threshold of accepted beats, creating a perceptible discontinuity in rhythm (it's easy to detect even a few milliseconds by ear especially if you're really into the music.)

So instead of triggering the drum tracks, how about we have one flat sound file running throughout and just make a loud buzzer sound whenever someone misses a beat? It'll allow us to widen the threshold of accepted beats (making it a little easier) while still keep the groove. I'm fairly sure this is what guitar hero does.

It will also save me from a lot of technical headaches with exporting certain sounds in a compact way. Also we can still use the audio stuff kevin built to trigger the sound effects of missing and whatever else we decide to add.

Let me know, and let's meat tomorrow night. Let's say 7 for now unless there are objections

So i got distracted today by the meats. Bouncing with beats rhythm now works in game, and i figured out how to make processing read beats array from javascript (aka midi to level works great). Also, playing sounds in rhythm works pretty much like it should, but definitely needs fine-tuning. Good news: our game is really fun (and will be much better once its actually smooth) and really hard.

Good news #2 < https://github.com/augustocorvalan/MeatBeat/issues/2>:

Augusto your new lives thing works well, barely affects frame rate! Bad news: your hill thing is for some reason really expensive; normal frame rate is around 55~60 and drawing hills drops it to around 35. This is of course a playable rate, but I imagine it will drop lower once more things are added, and we don't want to waste precious frames on hills. There has to be a better way to do them. Aaaaand i added feature in gameplay state where if you press q you get to view current frame rate, which is surprisingly useful.

Great workin' with you guys I'm excited!!

Did some major work.. check it out! game now knows how to keep lives and score! and sounds play in rhythm. if you fuck up on a beat the track goes auto-pilot for a little to let you catch up.
