I’ve dubbed the project with the DDR dance mats the Rumbler Project, and I actually mostly fixed the sound playback issue I was having last week. There is still a lot more work to be done with the audio module, but it works and is fairly simple in usage.<\/p>\n
I did find that, while the concept is kind of fun in a “ooh that’s neat” kind of way, it’s too hard to actually use the mats to produce some kind of music. So this week I’m going to introduce a basic rhythm system – pushing a button starts a sound and a timer, and pushing it a second time will play the sound again and indicate the end-of-loop time. Here, the sound starts to loop with the timing that the user has provided himself, freeing his feet up for more stuff.<\/p>\n
Doing this should make it easier to make music, although the users’ control becomes less immediate. We’ll see how it works out in the end. If all goes well I may add a lot more sounds and start improving the layout-to-sound mappings to ‘feel more natural’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
