bemuse

A lot of new, big things!

• Game is now playable.
  • Only 1 player and 7k+1 mode.
  • Speed, keyboard mapping, and audio latency is still hardcoded.
  • BMS url configurable via ?bms query parameter.
• Isparta is used to perform code coverage instrumentation.
• Documentation is revamped to Sphinx style, and is published to http://bemuse.readthedocs.org/.

• Webpack configuration have been tweaked
  • Use absolute path to filter module instead of regular expressions — more reliable environment #91
• Random notes are generated to test the display. #92, #93
• Game loader is implemented to download everything needed for the game (song, game engine, skin) #94
• Babel is used instead of the now-obsolete 6to5. #95
• Istanbul is configured to ignore Babel runtime code. #96

• co (dependency) has been updated to latest version. #88
• Module loading progress has been implemented. Since the game code may be quite large it is a good idea to to show a progress bar. #89

• Support for || and && operators in Scintillator added, so more complex expression may be used.
• Bluebird is now used instead of prfun for Promises implementation, since Bluebird seems to be more actively developed. #86
• Auto-Synchro project started #87 — to study how to calibrate audio-video offset and audio+input latency. #85

• Animations in skins are now possible, thanks to the keytime project. #84

• Coveralls.io is integrated with this project. When there are pull requests, Coveralls will tell you how the pull-request affect the code coverage. #81
• Skins compilation changed from a simple Makefile to a Gulp script. #82
• Masking feature added to <group> object in the skin. #83

• Asset hashing have been enabled. This means each time a different JavaScript file name will be generated, based on the contents. #80
  • This prevents problem when some cached JavaScript files are the old version and doesn't work with the boot script AND/OR other JavaScript files.

• Scintillator is the biggest addition to this game. It is a game skinning engine based on XML and Pixi.js. #77
• 6to5 has been updated.
• Code coverage improved.

• Pixi.js is added to the project just to make sure it works in our build infrastructure.
• Bemuse is the official name of this game. BEAT☆MUSIC☆SEQUENCE will be the subtitle.
• Windows build support added so my teammate (who uses Windows) can collaborate, as well as others who use Windows.

A lot has happened.

• Cachier: Large blobs can now be cached inside IndexedDB. This should make it easy to implement offline playback.
• Automated Code Reviews: Whenever a pull request is opened, Travis will check your code against jshint and jscs and writes a comment on the pull request.
• Automatic Deployments: Once a new version is released, a deployment to GitHub pages is made.
• Sampling Master: Sounds can be loaded and played using Web Audio API.
• BMS: Basic BMS parsing has been implemented.
• Technical Demo: A demo of BMS parsing and playing sound has been added to the "Coming Soon" page.

This is v0.0.0. Right now, this game cannot do anything (at all!), but I just finished setting up the infrastructure. Took me five days!

• Decide on which build tool to use: Gulp + webpack + Jasmine.
• Set up linting rules and pre-commit hooks.
• Setup Travis CI and Code Climate with Code Coverage.
• Set up testing infrastructure.
• Write brief project plan and README.md (which will evolve over time).
