Axe Guitar Hero.
« on: December 19, 2010, 05:44:02 pm »
I have decided to finally post the progress of 1-Byte Guitar Hero  (temporary name.  sequel will be 2 nibble :P )


Concept: Guitar Hero with sound.

Guitar Hero features:
  * Adjustable quality
  * Song making
  * Song saving
  * Song loading
  * 8 octaves
  * Song playback
  * Game screen.  (no scores and whatnot yet.)
  * Sound
  * Listen to current note
  * Adjustable note length.
  * Notes that are in tune!!!


Hopeful features for the future:
  * Have it playable.
  * Have editable songs.
  * Have Save songs save only what has been written.
  * Have Slurs.
  * Better quality
  * Better fingerings.
  * Keys to change notes/time length.  (easy and will come soon)


Here is a small video.
sound is better on calc than pc :P

Wow that's cool. I like how you have notes lasting quite long instead of just beeps. It would need some better graphics but I take it that you're working on it, right?

It does, but sometimes sound quality is questionable.

Great, then. Also, I'm helping him with this, but not a lot, since I find his code rather complex, but still understandable :)

although it can be changed, it doesn't matter.

I think Pt-On is faster, even with Fix 5, because Text uses TI's font routines, which are slower than the 3rd-party sprite routine. hence why some people use custom font routines.

Hopeful features for the future:
  * Have it playable.  // Gameplay is definetely going to be tricky
  * Have editable songs.  // You will need quite a big Appvar, 1 for each or one for all? I recommend first
  * Have Save songs save only what has been written.  // Same thing as above
  * Have Slurs. // Slurs? That would be unthinkable for my level, but you can always try it
  * Better quality  // I can't see how you can get better quality, you mean the sound?
  * Better fingerings. You will need 5 Keys, hence I recommend the 5 keys right below the screen for the gameplay
  * Keys to change notes/time length.  (easy and will come soon) // Nice.

Concerning Gameplay and Graphics:

> I think the notes should start in the upper part of the screen and go down to a line very close to the bottom of the screen:




Well, I decided to work a bit on this:



Code: [Select]
.GMPLAY
Line(0,53,95,53)
Line(0,53,0,63)
Line(95,63,0,63)
Line(95,53,95,63)

Line(19,53,19,63)
Line(38,53,38,63)
Line(57,53,57,63)
Line(76,53,76,63)


DispGraph

Repeat getKey->Z
End

This is the code, which should be optimized. Maybe using Rect(? I can't make non-filled rectangles, so I used Line(

Maybe using sprites is also faster?

Interesting, why are some of the rectangles larger than others, though? (In the first screenshot)
