Perhaps a future direction in which to take the Laser Suspension Womb:

8472. College Student (199.20.23.3) – 22 Apr 2009 02:02:32 Bathroom? Mushroom! ]
I am a college student at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. I dropped something in the bathroom and when I went down to pick it up--- Oh, suprise! There were mushrooms growing from the edge of the toilet. There are yellow and "pig-skin" like. Does anyone know what KIND of mushrooms they are? Should we tell someone or just let them grow?

You mean flameproof or you mean easy to ignite?

maybe a smoke machine in an inflammable backpack would enhance the portable ambiance of the laser suspension womb...

Beauteous.
This is certainly the best version of "live electronic music" I have ever seen...

I'm guessing you mean the OSX_build sir in subversion? That is just the SDL libraries for Mac. It does make the Mac the easiest platform to compile for, but it's still a bit of an ordeal because you need to install gcc and mlton first. You could try, but I recommend waiting for the binaries unless you like that kind of stuff (I don't!)

Now I have a macbook pro and I found your Mac OS X build... but the question is: how do I get that running?

(in the meantime: considering buying a guitarhero controller for this)

Thanks guys! The LEDs are these: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8860

They are crazy bright. If you got 10 of them you could definitely beat the bike lamps bigtime, but they are 80mA each so you're going to need a lot of juice. The laser diodes are:

They are great lasers but didn't come out as well on the hat as I thought they would.

Awesome! It's come a long way since you showed me. The drums especially seem SUPER fun. And I want to find out what kind of LEDs (or laser diodes?!) you used in the laser suspension womb - I keep losing those fscking bike lights, who wants to pay $15 for an LED in some cheap plastic!?

Vids working again, and I gotta say...

OMG?

The ambiguity in matching comes from hammer ons and pull-offs. When you finger a button, it could be because you are hammering on that note (if you are currently in-streak) or it could be because you're preparing to play it with a strum. Similarly for pull-offs. It's noticeable if you don't have support for this and use an eager algorithm or one based solely on time. There's a little bit of subtlety about whether you're on-streak, too.

Yes, the auto score generation does hammer-ons and pull-offs automatically too, though it's just based on their proximity to the previous note, which works pretty well it turns out.

It wouldn't be that hard to extend it to score based on how temporally close you were to the matched note, but I don't like that level of persnicketiness, because I feel like if I'm rocking out I should be given some leeway for "swing".

Adam: That is too bad. Anyway good luck getting USB to work on linux. ;)

Adhesion: In the show I played, right before the last segment, it literally goes "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE". No kidding. What do you mean by my style being awkward? It's a bit unconventional I guess, in that I always poke for maximum accuracy. I can't think of anything else weird about it, except maybe how high I strap the guitar (but that's true with real guitars even).

NICE!!

Too bad that unlike Escape, T7ESH probably won't be allowed in Fedora.

Oh I remembered what else I was going to say: it needs bonus levels and WELCOME TO WARP ZONE.

Actually it looks like none of the videos on vimeo are available right now, for me at least. Hooray!!!

The video on vimeo is temporarily unavailable!! No!!!! Anyway before you wrote this post I secretly espied the Belvedere's video, and I have to say your GH style is quite awkward. Therefore, once I actually get off my ass and get around to buying an Xbox and Rock Band you should expect some serious challenges, as I was quite the GH2 connoissieur back in my day (as well as the current connoissieur of some other choice rhythm games).

The auto midi-to-score sounds sweet too. Does it support hammer-ons and the like? It's a little hard to tell from the video and I can't watch it again anyway.

I'm interested in what the ambiguous matching algorithm is like too. Usually more "serious" rhythm games (like those wacky Bemani ones) would be like X ms and deal with it, but they also have different levels of matching as opposed to yes/no. Doesn't that make it hard to compare scores fairly?

Also, this might just get me to finish my electronic drums-to-Rock Band interface project, which has been languishing for quite a time.
