[ALPHA] GuessTheSong

[LedZepp]

In the setSongOptions() method in Game1.cs under this line

songTitles[random] = mediaLibrary.Songs[randomSongIndex].Name;

[Sk8ierBoi]

It's ok! I like it but not better the Music Quiz but I'm keeping this game on my Zune =D

Should there be a semicolon after this line?

MediaPlayer.PlayPosition = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30)

Like this:

MediaPlayer.PlayPosition = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30);

[LedZepp]

Yes there should

[shutout5591]

Heres what i can do, tomarrow, cuz its late now

I can make it start at a random position in the song, between 0 and 30 seconds. This will keep things interesting and fun.

I believe I have addressed all previous concerns.

What would you think about an option to ignore comedy music?

It is crucial, as a developer, to get a conversation like this working. Thanks to all who have downloaded the game and left feedback.

[ShotgunSnipist]

Is anyone else getting horrible lag with this game?
As in you have to click center 5 times just to start the game.
And there is like a 30 second difference between songs?

[shutout5591]

I haven't had this happen to me. Did you modify the source in any way? If not, try deleting and reinstalling it. I find the game responsive, but please include some details. Do other games lag?

[ShotgunSnipist]

No, No other games lag even in the slightest besides Galactic wars 3 (of Course).

Yes, I modified the code like LedZepp said,
which didn't work either. So i'll try to re do it. =/

Edit: Well I deleted the game (directly from the zune)
Re-downloaded - deployed
and it still lags... =(
hmmmm.... It is the center button your supposed to click right?
However pressing back sends me to the main screen in the blink of an eye.
Do you think this game could be interfering with another game?

[game_slave]

wow, rapidshare got a makeover, but srsly people needa start using filefront
game looks great, deploying it now

[ravenator]

My game is also quite unresponsive at times. And often after I get one wrong, I apparently get the next few wrong with out ever getting to guess them.

It's quite frustrating, cause I really like the game!

[brenttiscool15]

yea as im playin it more im liking it more...

one problem i have found..

when it gives you the choices...a couple times it has given me the same choice twice..example:

A.) AC/DC
B.) Blink 182
C.) Led Zeppelin
D.) AC/DC

you basically have to guess which AC/DC is right...cuz not both of them are right..

If shoutout wants to in a later version, this can be solved by instead of checking the Index of what choice the user chooses, check the string against the song's name, that way both choices will be correct

I am so glad you created this game, but I have encountered a few problems:

It takes four clicks for it to Play, go to the Options menu, or Exit.
Also, when I click on Options, it doesn't show anything (just the title Options at the top)
Also, when I was playing and the timer ran out, I couldn't go to the next song.

[soccerfreak24]

I'm having a lot of trouble with this game like... recognizing clicks. Also, when i lose a level, I seem to just stay at the level, and If I click, I lose the next one. Lastly, I'd listen to the advice of starting mid-song.. I know this may sound harsh, but props for the game, it's a great start.

Join the club so to speak.
That would be be a good description of my problem.

[shutout5591]

Ive had no problems with the lag, but ill get started on fixing it. The only zune i have, it works great on, but ill try a friends zune. The bug with the unrecognizable clicks is really odd to me. Can you post which zune u have. I can release a debug game I made in which it tells when a click is pressed. That way we can see if its just in this game, or in all games, which case i may not be using the best code for clicks.

The options menu has nothing, I wrote it so it could be expanded. Sorry for the confusion.

I am aware of the bug where sometimes ull get a question wrong, and the next 1 or 2 will be wrong. I hope to have a fix for that soon.

I do agree with the suggestion to start in the heart of the song, next release will include this.

I hope that addresses everything thus far. Im very busy with finals this week, but I hope to release friday or saturday.

Also, Shoutout
I noticed you play the songs from the very beginning(which might be bad for some people) here is the trick i used:
The mediaplayer class has a method called playposition, which defines where you want the song to start(default is 0:0:0.0)
To start it at any time you want just set the playposition to a TimeSpan variable like so:

Code:
MediaPlayer.PlayPosition = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 30)This example starts the song at 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 30 seconds into the song

What if the songs less than 30 seconds long?

...A song less then 30 seconds long...?
Eruption by Van Halen is the shortest song I know and thats longer then a minute.

Ouch, I hate finals. Good luck.
That debug program sounds good. I'd be willing to test it. =D

Erm, you've clearly never seen some punk rock... Punk rock bands literally have 25 second songs sometimes... that was moreso in the 80's though.


Edit: Just discovered my own issues with the no-clicks bug... hope this gets fixed.
