I worked on the music decoding part. I used a Fourier transform to decompose the music into frequency, and then I bucketed them per each music note (C to B). It required a lot of trial and error but I learned a lot about unity and something about overtones in popular songs.

I worked on UI. I used StreamingAssets to dynamically update the list of available songs to play, as well as created the menu buttons used to navigate through the game.

I organized the team and devised the specs for the game before HackMIT. I did the graphics, including using Post Processing Stack to create the glow effect and EzySlice to create the bars. I also helped around with the other sections.
