I finally have a working version that actually plays back music!
The green circles are temporary, and are meant just to point out which nodes on the tree correspond to which notes being played. In the future, I would like them to appear more as "leaves", and I'm thinking about playing with radiating sine waves that pulse out when the nodes play.
NOTE: In the non-debug mode, the text overlay is not present and the display is full screen.
This gets me closer, but I still have a long way to go.
Issues
- The code is such that (because I was in a rush for critique) only one of these systems can exist at once. I very much want a whole garden of these, but I'm taking it a step at a time.
- The system is static; I want for the tree to draw itself as the notes play, but right now, the entire tree is displayed all at once.
- The input L-system is fixed, and requires changes in code to make new systems.
- Visibly, circles will hilite for the wrong notes, or not hilite at all when they should. I think it's disparity between when I initially build the tree and when I parse it incrementally later (two different functions)
- My data structures do not represent all of the MIDI parameters I would like to use. Several parameters are fixed or arbitrarily randomized.
