Making Chiptune Music using Sonic Pi v2.0

Warning: this might not work on a RaspberryPi yet

I was curious about making retro gaming sounds using Sonic Pi. A couple of months and a lot of Googling later, here's the original Mario Bros theme as it was heard on the NES console.

I'm (just about) old enough to remember rushing home from school to play this game at Philip Boucher's house, sitting cross-legged in front of the TV till my feet got pins and needles. Working out how to recreate it for Sonic Pi was a lot of fun!

# The funky drummer
# The aim here is to experiment with
# a) sequencing drums
# b) playing with 'time feel' which is
#    music-speak for how the beat feels,
#    ranging from robotic (0.0 swing_time)
#    to ultra funky Fresh Prince of Bel Air
#    theme tune style (0.2+ swing_time)

RubyMotion The "Rails" Way

This is a current proposal that I'd like your feedback on for how we can clean up how we write RubyMotion applications. It's purely conceptual at the moment, and there would have to be some framework development to make this work the way described here.

Please submit your feedback, as a joint effort we can clean up our RubyMotion applications and make it easier for Rails developers to expand their skills into RubyMotion development.

Goals

The main points of this are:

require 'delegate'

module Support
  class WarningFilter < DelegateClass(IO)
    def write(line)
      super if line !~ /^\S+gems\/ruby\-\S+:\d+: warning:/
    end
  end
end

class UserController < ApplicationController
  def create
    @user = User.create(UserInput.new(params).create)
  end
  
  def update
    @user = User.find(params[:id].to_i)
    @user.update_attributes(UserInput.new(params).update)
  end

THESE FILES WERE WRITTEN FOR SONIC PI VERSION 1
THEY WILL REQUIRE REVISION TO WORK ON VERSION 2
I HAVE OTHER FILES FOR VERSION 2 POSTED ON MY BLOG
SOME OF THESE FILES ARE POSTED THERE IN REVISED VERSIONS
http://rbnrpi.wordpress.com


Posted here will be music files for use with Sonic-Pi on the Raspberry Pi.
If you have the Sonic-Pi music program isntalled (it is on the latest distribution for Raspian) you can start it up from the Graphic Desktop (there is a link under Education on the Start Menu). You can then copy and past the contents of one of the play files into one of the 8 workspace windows and click play to play it.
