Introduction

Beat rider is a music game where the game levels are generated from the player’s music library. I contributed to this project during my time in Rubycell Entertainment (2014).

At the stage it is currently presented, it is only a prototype to show the capability of the audio analysis system. Other vastly different modes of play are possible.

My role and contributions

• Research audio analysis methods and libraries
• Develop a graph-based audio processing framework which can be used from Lua scripts
• A prototype to demonstrates how raw numbers from the framework can be mapped to gameplay elements
• An in-house build tool which eases the process of multi-platform building

Technologies and tools used

• Moai engine: http://getmoai.com/
• C/C++ for the audio processing plugin
• Lua for scripting
• Vim as the text editor
