So after a weekend away, we’re back tonight with some cool stuff. Basically, some thinking, some re-writing of some code, a few added functions, and now we’re able to use the V1 to play Guitar Hero using either chords or notes on a scale for the buttons. Of course, the notes you’ll be playing still won’t be the actual notes of the songs on the game, but it will help you work on note and chord transistions, hopefully in a way that’s more fun/motivating than just having to play a lot of chord transitions.
I have to admit, once you start using chords or notes, it makes playing the game a lot harder. When testing it out, even playing easy with chords mapped G Major to the green button, C Major to red, and E Major to yellow, I still failed shockingly quickly… Of course, I’m just about no good at the real guitar, and I’ve been doing a lot more guitar engineering than actual guitar playing this summer! Maybe this’ll start me practicing the guitar again…
Well, I’ll try and get a video up in the next few days. The only camera I’ve got around here is having some problems with the sound quality, so I want to be able to take a nicer video than I can right now.
