Inspiration

We enjoy music and gaming
Inspired by DDR's game play and wanted to convert it to an 8-bit keyboard play-style game

What it does

Outputs arrows down the screen based of the rhythm of the song played
User must press the correct arrow key of the arrow/arrows that hit the designated area in order to increase score
Trackers past and current users' score in a leaderboard

How we built it

Using Java and Javascript
Using the libgdx framework

Challenges we ran into

Getting and passing music/sounds throughout the program
Scaling the animations and backgrounds
Getting the server to run on the Google Cloud server

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the animations to link with the sound -Getting the animations moving

What we learned

How to animate with libgdx
How to to get the server to run on the Google Cloud server

I worked on the UI/UX. I helped name the project and collect assets used to develop the overall theme. I contributed to minor game logic.

Wesley Jackson
I designed the game logic and implemented a screen cache for passing objects and game states between classes. Wrote a function to parse a MIDI file and queue note events to draw on the screen in time with each song. Linked a mongodb Atlas database to the project to store global leaderboard scores.

Luke Ryktarsyk
I worked on the back-end server to client communication using node.js, express.js, and socket.io. Set up a google cloud instance to host online multiplayer for Dino-beats. Worked on minor game logic like the score multiplier.
