Candles Update 27: Rock Band (not really)
I took some time this past week or so to enjoy playing video games. But now I’m back on the case.
Given that we can “pick up” the guitar, it’s time to play it. Using Garage Band on my MacBook, I was able to collect 25 (24) notes from a guitar instrument. These notes represent 5 frets across six strings on the guitar (frets 1-5), and excludes playing any string “open”. I say 25(24) because of the way guitars are tuned, the fifth fret on the G string is the same as the first fret on the B string…so I got confused…and it may all be ruined. I’ll check on that later.
Not the most exciting script–but it gets the job done. Using OnMouseOver and OnMouseExit, I was able to make “highlights” on the guitar appear. I thought about using rectangles on the fret board, but that didn’t feel right. This doesn’t look great either–but it’s more of a proof of concept. And now each fret plays a note.
I was really excited by how easily this came together and how well it functioned.
