Piano Flow

A music game follows the piano flows. Its rhythm mode inspired by Touch Pianist, thanks to Batuhan Bozkurt. The main purpose I made it was to achieve a dream of my youth and to help me practice the fundamentals of MUG.

I need to be honest with you, the game has a bad playability which can't make you feel completely immersed with simple interaction. Maybe it will improve your gameplay through a virtual reality headset, but I think the best experience is on a real piano nowadays.

Run on Local

$ git clone [email protected]:SuneBear/Piano-Flow.git
$ cd Piano-Flow
$ npm install
$ npm start

The structure is a experimental combination of SPA based on Vue 2 and MUG based on Pixi.js, MIDI.js, etc. They are basically independent, but using the shared assets and services.

Browser Compatibility

The game was developed in Chrome 54 (Mac OS X) without cross-browser testing. I am sure it works on webkit-based browsers such as Chrome, Safari. Hold on, there are so many weird questions that I have not met yet if you play it in other browser/device. Feel free to raise an issue, let's make it work first.

Further Improvements

• Brand Redesign & UI Redesign & Animation Tuning
• Gameplay: Add some different modes
• Music: Optimize timbre & rhythm
• Refactor game, make code more abstract :(
