Star Jam

Inspiration

I wanted to learn Piano

What it does

Sends notes down from the top of the screen based on a MIDI file. By playing the right notes on a MIDI piano, the player fires lasers at falling notes to destroy them.

How I built it

Using Unity

Challenges I ran into

Rewrites of certain portions of the game were required to make the game run smoothly. The MIDI format has been heavily extended over the years, and so finding a way to convert midi files into game levels required a significant amount of time reading standards and documentation.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This project won MTSU's first hackathon, HackMT 2016.

What I learned

Large projects heavily utilize boilerplate code and require efficient division of resources.

What's next for Star Jam

Some of the original team members have come together to write future improvements for the game.
