a keyboard game?

blinkingangels · 06-09-2008, 07:08 PM

i was thinking of a game that would be played horizontal on the zune and it would have a keyboard thing that u could play on.

Maybe you could also use the D-pad so that when u are clicking a key, u could go up and down on the D-pad while still pushing the key to change the pitch.
Another extra idea thing for it would be to change the sound of it, like from a piano sound, to a synthersizor sound ect...

You realise that the zune dosen't have a touch screen like the iPhone with a similar application does right? Having to click over to each key with the D-pad would mean all you could do is make differnet notes but not really click fast enough to play any type of song. Plus how would you press more than one key at the same time?

pretty cool but yeah, spike is right

only if the zune had a Plug in Keyboard Darn. Foiled Again.
this isnt going to make it.

Great idea though.

i know there isnt a touch screen.. O_o, but u could make a song if u had a record button or something, and it wouldnt record the time break inbetween when your playing the different notes, i used song program one time that did that and it worked pretty good... about not being able to push 2 keys, this would just be to make rly simple melodies, so that wouldnt matter tht much

kind of like a super simplified version of guitar pro.

blinkingangels · 06-10-2008, 07:02 PM

ya.. im just starting to get into the programming stuff, so maybe if i ebba get good at it i will make this, if no one else does by than...

There would be no real point, you could only "record" sounds to a text file, and only be able to play them back on the zune, you wouldnt be able to put them onto your computer.

blinkingangels · 06-10-2008, 07:21 PM

well like i said earlier they would be simple melodies, nothing u rly would want to play on the computer... it would just something fun to mess around with..
