Demo!
Following the successful implementation of our project base goal, we proceeded to add in the multi-input feature, allowing the player to input more than one directional input at once.
On top of that, the slowdown issue was fixed and the game is essentially 100% playable now! Check out our demo video above!

Integrating Modded ofsample Functionalities with Beats
Fri 4/13/11
Integrating Beats with Kinect was much trickier than we originally thought. The main obstacle we faced was that the Kinect refused to become active when we booted Beats up. After many hours of trial and error, we finally managed to keep the Kinect active (evident from its green LED) continuously while running Beats.
The next step is to modify the Beats source code to respond appropriately when the Kinect detects the corresponding inputs. This was accomplished fairly painlessly with Phil modifying his own codes. Following another lengthy episode of debuggings and adjustments, we finally arrive at SUCCESS!
The Beats+Kinect ran at about 15-20 frames per second. We tried to narrow down what was causing the major slowdown but could not find the source as we were thoroughly exhausted by then. Due to lag, the player would have to raise their hand into the Kinect's detection zone about half a second prior to the arrows reaching to the bottom. However, the game was ultimately playable, and we were able to achieve 10+ combos with acceptable accuracy.

Modifying ofsample
Thur 4/28/11
As mentioned previously, the package we downloaded included the ofsample source code. After, many trials of figuring out what does what in the sample code, we made the appropriate changes and compiled the code in Eclipse. The code was altered to have similar functionalities as the code we wrote for Kinect + Ubuntu.
We made a minor modification, changing the 4 corner + 1 middle input boxes into 4 input boxes laid out horizontally. This is because of the switch we made from the StepMania simulator on Ubuntu to Beats on Android.
