Wow, I say. I couldn't get through it, but hot damn that's a good one.

After Nyx has a strokemeter and is available for real, we should definitely try to get her on board here. Imagine how much better that could have been if there were interactivity, such as a button you could press if you were getting too close.

New programmable metronome

Thanks for sharing that link, camel. Good stuff. So good, in fact, that it inspired me to mess around with an idea I've had for awhile... making a programmable metronome. Unlike just about every other task I've tried in Flash, this one turned out to be easier than expected. I just finished it up and posted it in my yahoo group. Basically, it's a little Flash file that reads in a "program" from an XML file and then plays it like a metronome.

For example, you could put the following in the XML:
<set id="1" reps="10" up="60" dp="60" />
<set id="2" reps="20" up="130" dp="130" />
and the metronome would "tick-tock" for 10 repetitions of up and down strokes at 60 beats per minute, then do 20 strokes at 130 beats per minute, and then stop.

Oh, and there's a pause button so you can take a breather if you need to.

There are more details about how it works in my Yahoo group. Check it out if you're interested.
