bytebeat

[Saegor]

hello !

i want to make a (very humble) sort of clone of the IBNIZ/ machine with Löve.



i now try to implement bytebeat into Löve, is anyone intersted to help me ?

the first stade will be the making of a sort of clone of this online viewer/generator


this is the last .love i'm working on, inspired by this tutorial on manipulating sounds in löve :

bytebeat.love

please post any advices or suggestions for my (our ?) quest of the month

I didn't know about IBNIZ/ . It is beautiful and horrible at the same time

Your .love didn't do much in my computer - a brief (1-2 seconds) sound and a black screen.

it's not intended to be usable now, but the main.lua inside is ready for hacking
the sound you hear in the .love is (normally) the simpliest function : "t" (when t = t+1 in loop every 1/8000 second and if t>255 then t=t-255, etc...)

i'm a noob at coding but a glitch machine or an audio-bytebeat game coded for löve would be über cool to manipulate i presume

Since love uses lua 5.1 which has no bit operations, you could use something like luabit(http://files.luaforge.net/releases/bit/bit) in order to implement this.
edit:
But what you really need is to implement a 'virtual machine' as described in [1]. This might not be an easy task. I'm very interested in this and glad to offer help if you need any.

LuaJIT includes a solid bit library, so you can use lovejit to get bitwise functionality in LÖVE. :p

thanks headchant, i'm sure i will need help the goal now is (making and) playing with bytebeat-like oscilloscope and after that we will implement these awesome sounds in GAMES

slime, can you (or someone) explain me in a few words what exactly is luaJIT ?

Actually you can create "music" only with Löve.
And some nice command interpreter would be easy to implement.

I made some basic sound machine that you can use as you please or take any piece of code.
Check the attachment and enjoy.

P.S: check out your speakers/headphones volume, it may be quite loud!!!!

oh man, THANKS A LOT !

i have some problem with my keyboard, numbers don't work with Löve (i'm wandering why ) so i can't wait until playing with your musicbox !

What strange... anyway dont expect great features, it is only a kind of demo and has several bugs but it could give you some ideas for your app.
