You have to earn your potato by using your ear. Hit the play button to hear the notes and play them back on the piano keys using your mouse. Every bad note will be displayed in red.
mrexcessive: The "Web" version should work for everyone with Java installed - with full JavaSound or something the SoundCipher library documentation says. But if you look closely, I'm sure you can find other versions that might work. :)
Cyborg771: Ear training is not an easy task but I'm sure most poeple can get to this basic level in a little time. Also there are other ways to train and different things to learn - I wasn't aiming for a full featured educational game in this competition though.
I should point out that SoundCipher is not a very good library in means of control over playback and usability. It's barely do it's job.
The hardest thing for me is, that I can't hit the first note again. It is fine that it is already given, but I need to hear it again to step forward. Nice idea and very hard for somebody who played keyboard only half a year in school ._.
Herku: You can hear all the notes whenever you want by clicking on the play button next to the keys. I'll add another button for playing the last found and the current note only to the #1GAM version.
Managed to finish it on my third try! It is a cool challenge perhaps appropriated for children to learn and train their ear. Cool idea and execution, the only thing I would add is after we complete each level, we could hear the melody so far.
Make A Game: Outstanding! Not just children needs ear training it isn't natural to learn these kind of skills in every day life for everyone. BTW I wanted to play back the whole phrase but the SoudCipher library don't have the necessary functions sadly. :(
dick_claus: Sound Cypher makes it very difficult to control the playback so I couldn't do that sadly. I wanted to make a button for playing only the last found and the current note only though.
Thank you all trying this quick sketch. Maybe later I'll try to improve it, perhaps I change playback library. Also I might add a practice mode where you can szelect which intervals you want to practice.
