Inspiration
I can't count how many times I've been sitting idly and started tapping or humming away. This is my own personal way of tapping idly in a more musical way.
What it does
Simon Suppresses is a simple concept, a series of tiles on a black background that play different notes when pressed. However, for those musically inclined, you can change keys, play accidentals, and shift up and down by half steps. It truly is the musician's musical toy.
How I built it
Using PyAudio as well as the graphics module
Challenges I ran into
Playing Accidentals without the use of multi-threading was my biggest challenge, although I think the work around in place manages to preserve the fluidity of the program
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Teaching myself all of python graphics in under 2 hours, and the math required to increase and decrease by octaves and half steps
What I learned
Not only did I learn about python graphics and the math behind sound waves, my music theory knowledge increased at every step of the process
What's next for Simon Revokes
An ios app and multi-touch support are currently in the works
