    [03/09/09] Touch The Music - Guitar Hero for Windows Mobile

    This is the official development thread for Touch The Music.
    All information is going to be posted here.

    The project consists of a music game, similar to Guitar Hero and Tap Tap Revenge, for Windows Mobile 6 onwards.

    How to play
    You can tap the fret buttons on the lower part of the screen or you can use LEFT UP RIGHT hardware keys to play.
    If you want to quit the level, just press the RED (end call) key. Alternatively, you can click the top right corner (where the framerate counter is located).
    Please note that with the hardware buttons you won't be able to net those multitouch points. A singletouch easier mode is planned for future versions.



    Changelog

    Version 0.3
    Major graphic overhaul
    Pause
    New scoring method
    Vibration Feedback
    FIX: Experimental bugfix for when receiving messages and calls, etc. The program should now behave fine when losing focus.

    Version 0.2
    Multitouch working.
    New menu system, with placeholder graphics.
    New level (incomplete).
    New resolutions.

    Version 0.1
    The first playable level is released on a simplistic game engine.
    The Options Menu doesn't work yet.


    Planned features for next version

    Planned features for FUTURE versions
    There is going to be a music editor for PC (at least) so you can create levels. The process won't be automatic, though, because we cannot make a program that guesses where the guitar is in the music by itself. So you are going to place the notes where you feel is right.
    Note animations when you tap them.
    Options menu.

    Known Issues

    If the application below the game updates the screen, Touch The Music no longer recognizes touches or keystrokes
    To be honest, I don't know why this happens but it will have to be fixed. Starting the game from the programs menu or the manilla programs tab minimizes this, as long as the messaging tab is not visible. (experimental fix in version 0.3)


    Thank you all for your time and especially the users who are contributing with testing, ideas or just kind words, you are all that makes this project possible.
