Demoscene/Retro Music Player

Primary LanguageC++

chipmachine

A portable, multi format, demo scene C++ music player

Building the main application (Linux/Debian)

All required packages (hopefully):

# sudo apt-get install cmake git g++ zlib1g-dev libao-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libasound2-dev libglfw3-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libglew-dev

Building:

# git clone https://github.com/sasq64/apone.git
# git clone https://github.com/sasq64/chipmachine.git
# mkdir build ; cd build
# cmake ../chipmachine -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
# make -j8

Using the application

  • Type words separated by spaces for incremental search
  • ENTER to play, SHIFT-ENTER to enque
  • F1 = Player screen, F2 = Search screen
  • F5 = Play/Pause
  • F6 = Next Song (or ENTER from Player Screen)
  • ESC = Clear search field
  • SHIFT-ESC = Quit
  • F7 = Toggle Favorite

Configuring the application

  • Start with -f for fullscreen or -d for debug output
  • Checkout lua/screen.lua for GUI layout

Raspberry PI notes

  • Building on the PI takes about 100x longer
  • Database and index are generated on first start which may take some time

For developers

  • Look at the minimal player in miniplay/ to see how the plugin interface works.
  • Build it with make -f miniplay.mk
