Homebrew FretFury

[Musturd]

I decided that it would be easier and less work to just make the .chart reading rather than making it read embedded songs.
But I need the help of someone who is really good at math and knows calculus or linear algebra or something that I don't know yet.

My knowledge is algebra 2, no pre-calculus yet.(and geometry which doesn't matter for programming).

GRR my math was wrong

Say BPM = 120
Beats per 1 VBlank = 0.0334 * 120
Beats per 30 VBlanks = 1.002 * 120

OK that makes more sense and is still not hard to implement!

EDIT: NO IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE

lol stop double posting xD

You should ask someone who will help

Trying again

BPM = 120
1,002,000 VBlanks = 1 minute

120 * x = 1,002,000
x = 8350

8350 VBlanks per Beat???

EDIT: I'll edit for ya, Alex. I just had an epiphany

. As soon as someone on gbadev.org verifies this I will get the frets to move at a different speed based on the BPM of the song!

I am VERY happy.

Wow dude, I don't even know what the FUCK you are talking about but...

High school stuff, bleh...

 

[Musturd]

Check my edit ^^

I have got Algebra, Algebra 2, Statistics, Math Analysis, and Trigonometry under my belt (I'm going to make games for a living). I can help you, but it will have to be later. I have to sleep now, so that I'm not tired for work.

to you too!

Now you just have to get it to read the offsets in the .chart file. Or .txt file, it doesn't matter.

:

So have you got the note reading figured out?

 

[Musturd]

OK, if it still isn't verified by the time you have the time to do it. Please do.

I'm thinking of doing something a little different from Guitar Hero, but in my opinion is better. When the BPM is high in Guitar Hero the lines are close together and when the BPM is low the lines are farther apart. I want to speed up or slow down the frets based on the BPM, which I think is more realistic (and potentially more fun). Maybe GH3 did what I am attempting to do and I am just thinking that GH2 did the line distance variation.

First I have to convert my thoughts into C code

. Then the offsets and others.
I already have the correct thoughts to do note reading that is easy. It's the conversion to C code which is hard

.

Sorry for double post, but I edited too many times.
I am thinking of actually reusing some of wazmo's hitCheck code. Maybe tweaked a little for my OCD of programming organization (which isn't actually a bad OCD).

I think vblank is a measurement for .... waitscreens in programing language ? lol I wonder if people will quote me for this overly stupid answer

lol forget is, this is vblank.

Basically the vblank is the period of time where (something about drawing pixels to the screen) happens. (sorry for not knowing exact). Basically it is used mainly for making sure that images don't get messy when they are drawn on the screen. But tepples at gbadev pointed out to me that the time between each VBlank is 16.7 ms.

I needed a very exact timer, and the vblanking is the highest precision timer I can get.
Time for a halo 3 and movie brake. I will continue working on this later tonight.
