School Project: Melody Maker

[DivineHolinessjr]

So, I take Foundations of Programming at my highschool and the final project was to make anything you wanted as long as it did certain things. Here's the thing. Just wanted to see people's opinion on it and how to fix some things (for example, the play command makes music play three times despite being called once, and clicking on the save and load buttons seems to make the prompt show up three times as well. I assume this is because before it goes to the prompt, the if statement gets executed 3 times or something along those lines). Also looking for cool ideas because it would be nice to add more stuff to this and to give myself a reason to work on a project some more.

Thanks! Surprised to already have gotten a reply, and from a member of the team themselves. Been lurking here for a few days and only just thought to upload the project once I finished it.

I wish I could recover my program that drew the note events from a PLAY string onto a "piano roll" of sorts, but I couldn't find it anywhere. It'd be an interesting merger with this program.

It may have been lost forever in the corrupted realms of [abandoned, outdated and now likely malicious qb64 dot net website - don’t go there]...

[SpriggsySpriggs]

That is impressive! I wasn't making programs like this in high school! I was just doing stuff to help me with my math homework haha. Of course, I'm pretty sure I was using the old SDL version anyways and wasn't really trying to make anything super complex. It wasn't until I saw Fellippe's library, InForm, that I really got back into QB64. Now I spend most of my free time doing it. Looking forward to seeing more from you! You could maybe even convert your program to using InForm by making custom piano-key shaped buttons!

Sounds like a good idea. I've had InForm on my computer for a while but couldn't really figure out how to use it with code. I'll probably start playing with it and looking stuff up now and try to convert it into an InForm interface now though.

Welcome to the forum DivineHolinessjr,

Small upgrade for mouse calling can repairing your 3x reactions:

 

I'll go ahead and take use of that, would've never thought of that fix personally. I'll try and keep that in mind for any future programs I decide to make.

Edit: Right after I posted I noticed that instead of future I put feature. How do I keep replacing words while typing.

[FellippeHeitor]

I found my old PLAY string parser/visualizer. If it's any useful to you, feel free to use it (or parts of it): https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=2625.msg118429#msg118429
