linthesia

tentative to fix/rewrite linthesia , an open-source synthesia/ "piano-hero" like game (scroll down to see screenshot and "manual")

it should compile for at least Windows/Linux/MacOS X (I have tested only Linux though)

Note:

Current Master can be used for casual gaming, and I strongly encourage people to use it to provide feedback

if you want to find the old linthesia checkout the release 0.4.3 (see release section in github)

Contributing

Even though this project hasn't moved a lot for a while, I'm still around to merge things :)

I'm very open to suggestions/ideas, and should be quite responsive to issues which are posted here So if you get any problem to compile and/or you want to see some specific feaures, just add an issue here or send me an email allan.simon |at| supinfo.com

Dependencies

For version 0.5 and above (including current master) you simply need these package (on Ubuntu)

 clang (or g++)
 libtool
 autoconf
 automake
 make

 libsfml-dev
 librtmidi-dev

So for example (with build-dependencies):

 sudo aptitude install clang libtool autoconf automake make libsfml-dev librtmidi-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libgconfmm-2.6-dev libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev libasound2-dev

we also use tinydir, for cross-plateform file/directory operation but as a header so no need to install anything

you may also need to install Timidiy or FluidSynth on Linux in order to have something to play out the midi

Compiling it (version 0.5 and above)

autoreconf -i
./configure
make

Launching it

cd src ; ./linthesia

In game control

• space to play/pause the song
• left/right to decrease/increase the song's speed
• escape to go back to previous screen (for example to leave a game)

(latter we will make it more obvious inside the game itself)
