This week I finished up integration and improved on some basic game mechanics. I completed the transition between the main menus and the game itself, with a selection in the menu fetching the corresponding JSON and song, and beginning a game accordingly. The game will also return to menu when complete.<\/p>\n
I also added some basic improvements – animations on hits, score display, and synchronization with the music. I tested on a number of different audio\/json files generated by Michelle’s algorithm, and thus far the music seems to synchronize well with the game.<\/p>\n
In the future I want to have others play test the game and make adjustments based on their comments, as well as adding better and more engaging UI. Next week I’ll continue to debug and improve the game’s general design, as well as implementing any changes suggested by playtesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
