Interference: Adapting Player-Music Interaction in Games

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Multiplayer web-based music game designed for live performance that generates real-time music from player actions and a feedback loop between proactive and reactive musical forces. Implemented as a JavaScript web application hosted on Heroku using Node.js, Socket.IO, Lance and Tone.js with a synchronized sequencer model. Players “paint” harmonic fields and place sequenced notes with the explicit objective to cover everyone's space with the same color, prototype demos work but show scaling issues above roughly ten concurrent players.
