Revision as of 15:32, 22 April 2007
This is a "program" written within a web page do aid improverts noise boys with playing sounds at a moments notice. The idea is that you can assign a mp3 file to a letter on the keyboard then pressing that letter instantly starts that song. Support for pages has been added so you can have games theems in page one, emergency tracks in page 2 sound effects in page 3 etc. The program has been written within a web page to make it easy to use on different systems/computers. All you need is firefox and flash installed with javascript enabled.
Currently an alpha/demo/proof of concept is available at http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/~s0453136/imps
Current Features
Basic functionality works, pressing a letter of clicking will start or stop/reset it
A stop all function has been added with the space bar
Track title has been added to buttons Via ID3 data
Support for separate pages has been added though only 2 have been enabled
Wanted Features/ToDo List
Create a defalt setup with games, sound effects, emergency tracks all pre-queued (for offline versions)
Remove songs from the web version to ease download yet provide an on-line example
Ability to queue tracks (I wanted to pause when you clicked the progress bar but that isn't easily possible - looking at alternatives)
Add your own files easily via a GUI
Possibly add volume controle? or just leave that to operating systems and the sound desk?
Names
do we stick with ImpsPlayerThing or shorten to IPT? Here are a list of potently other (feel free to add)
ImpsPlayer
ImpsJukeBox -- IJB
ImpsBox
impTunes
impamp
noisyimp
any others?
Discuss
Under the Bonnet
The program is uses flash to play music controlled by javascript. The 2 are merged using soundmanager2 which provides a API to do so. SoundManager2 is released under the BSD licence
The page is based on the drumkit demo found at http://www.schillmania.com/projects/soundmanager2/demo/mpc/
I have edited the soundmanager API slightly to suit my needs however I haven't hidden it from the world
