[Beta]Music Quiz

LedZepp · 06-02-2008, 01:00 AM

So, being on some pain killers and having practically no feeling in my hand, i saw a request for a music quiz and decided what the hell. It required no real hard thought so i went for it, and heres what i came up with.

Its in beta stage and has no menu
it does remember your highscore
theres 2 questions, "who sings this", and "what song is this"
Use the up and down buttons to select the letter and the middle button to confirm your choice
It plays you a 10 second sample of the song, and you have to answer within those 10 seconds
Based on how long it took you to answer it adds that to your score(if it took you 1 sec to answer you get 9 points, and so on)
There is a game over screen and to start the game again just press the middle button.

Rar Zip

Sorry there are no screenshots(but its really simple, blue bg with black text), i dont have a camera and cant convert this to a windows project since windows cant use the mediaplayer class.

whenever i try to play, it shows the zune "loading" symbol on my zune, does its little light thing on the zune Z, and turns off. i dont know why, but ive tried a lot of times, and i cant get the games to start at all.

badreligionpunk69 · 06-02-2008, 04:47 AM

Yep, I have the same thing mikenike. It starts the zune loading symbol, the lights go off on the zune loading symbol, and then the zune just crashes. Me thinks perhaps this is a bit too beta. :P

daneboyzzz · 06-02-2008, 06:28 AM

ya my zune ust resets when i try the hgame

LedZepp · 06-02-2008, 06:59 AM

This is why you shouldnt code while on strong painkillers :p
I made a little code change last night that i guess messed everything up.
First post updated with a fixed version

mr.handsomeman · 06-02-2008, 07:01 AM

thanks a lot man! I'm downloading it right now! I always wanted this game for the Zune cause I loved it on the iPod, thanks again!

soccerfreak24 · 06-02-2008, 07:39 AM

Sweet, music quiz is a pretty fun game. Thanks for creating it, +rep.

Dibbles · 06-02-2008, 10:18 AM

OMG! Cannot wait to play this! Thank you! +REP

MoPaR MaGNuM · 06-02-2008, 10:21 AM

is there a way to make it so that it only ask for the songs name?

cause I've got whole albums,

for example, when it plays "more than a feeling", i get two "boston" answers and occasionally pick the wrong one and get a game over when the answer is right

Thanks

DAMN! I made this game 2 weeks ago, just wanted to make it flawless before releasing... Oh well...

Great minds think alike...

MemphisMasenko · 06-02-2008, 10:42 AM

Now this sounds like a cool game, but I will most likely get tired of the questions.
When will there be like updates of the game?
I hope it is soon.

Nurta · 06-02-2008, 10:43 AM

Hmm, first off, make it more apparent what your selection is.

Second, I got the same artist/song twice as answers and if you select the wrong one you lose...

Third, it crashed after my second answer

Fourth, if the song is shorter than 10 seconds it goes onto another song I think

Fifth, allow a volume adjustment

Sixth, have it skip anything by "Unknown Artist" or on "Unknown Album"

Seventh, if the name is too long you get a dot dot dot that is rather annoying

edit: now it crashes whenever I try to run it

Jomael · 06-02-2008, 12:07 PM

ok it works but man u have the song playing forever plus mines froze just 39 seconds ago. to get it dowload the zip
