Music Quiz?

(1/2) > >>

bakseetdrivr:
Fairly self explanatory, like in the original ipod OS. it could include different difficulties (easy-artist, moderate-song, hard-album) where you have to guess the corresponding track info based on a few seconds of the track. not sure if this idea has been thought of before but didnt find anything concrete in my searches.

Serenity:
I remember the music quiz!  That was fun--I'd definitely use it if the Rockbox team could come up with one.  Though, I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement or how resource-intensive something like that is....

saratoga:
I don't think creating a playlist in rockbox is very resource intensive. 

bakseetdrivr:
alright well i am able to code in C++ but for some reason or another, I cant figure out how to compile RB (might have to do with the fact that i have 60 hours of school a week).  The general code could be something like this:

generate a random play list with 50 songs (so the scores will actually be relative instead of dependent on how long you play)
pick 4 other random songs to compare with the "correct" song
start playing "correct" song with a maximum reward of 10 points, decreasing every second or so.

additional features
analyze songs to make sure the music being played is not silence
have different difficulties which compare different track info categories
have incorrect tracks slowly disappear as time runs out

AlexP:
Building Rockbox is pretty straightforward - check out the code:

svn co svn://svn.rockbox.org/rockbox trunk rockbox

Then build the cross-compilers:

tools/rockboxdev.sh

Create a build directory, then from within it run tools/configure, then make.

Incidently, Rockbox is written in C - plugins need to be written in C, or we now have a lua plugin.
