Inspiration

Heavily inspired by ps vita games sound shapes, PSPSEQ, and Welcome park microphone game. Wanted to building software tool/game that made the process of chopping audio samples fast, fun, and easy to share.

What it does

The tool/game uses the microphone on the device to record small segments of audio based on amplitude. The user only need to tap and hold down anywhere on the screen to engage the recording feature. The audio is represented by a ball that gets triggered by configurable clock pulses. The user can then download a save file to preserve current session. This save file is a zip that can be shared with others using tool or unzipped to access the ".wav" files recorded during the session.

How I built it

I commissioned Tahmid (Game Developer - https://bsky.app/profile/titnian.bsky.social ) (available on Fiverr- https://www.fiverr.com/tahmidbinali/make-a-simple-3d-game-for-you-with-godot?context_referrer=tailored_homepage_perseus&source=recently_viewed_gigs&ref_ctx_id=1af8e921b93445e38b682edbef6a4681&context=recommendation&pckg_id=1&pos=1&context_alg=buy_it_again&imp_id=0d2d7650-2221-4c29-bd3c-cae530a9d86e ) to create this tool/game. Tahmid used Godot with the assistance of Chatgpt 4 and Claude 3.7 to create the game.

Challenges I ran into

Originally meant to function as a looper mechanic for a game I am developing. However after spending time with the mechanic realized that it functions better as a creative sampler. This will require more features to be considered usable as a looper which I plan to add later on. Of course while we were in development there were many issues that got fixed but nothing significant enough to mention. For the most part the process was smooth sailing. Nevertheless if I must mention one thing then it is that the Sample rate of the wav files will need to be adjusted.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I successfully found a partner to work with on fiverr for games

What I learned

That it is possible to make games without programming skills.

What's next for Tap to Loop

Plan to add a few more features to turn it into a playable game that allows users to create samples and loops. The likes of which will become playable levels that the player must pass in order to acquire new sounds created by other people. As a sound designer, I thought this was a fun idea to explore as a first project that i can use in my daily life. In addition to creating demos that showcase the many uses for the utility like the ones below.
