bytebeat-framework

A Ruby script to ease the creation of bytebeat music, through special .music files.

Requirements

• Ruby
• A gcc compatible C compiler.
• aplay to use the -r command line switch.

Usage

With bytebeat.rb in the same folder as the c folder, simply run

bytebeat.rb <music file>

and a music.out file will appear in your current directory ready to run. Leaving out the music file will pipe input from standard input. Check out some example .music files in the examples/ folder to see how to create one for yourself.
