Release 1.1
This major update includes the following commonly requested new features:
Edit mode:
- Adjustable song lengths, between 20 and 120 steps. (The old version was fixed at 48.)
- Each of the 18 notes can be tunes individually, ranging from C3 to B6 including semitones. (The old version was fixed to a C major scale between C4 and F6.)
Play mode:
- New option to let the crank wind up the music box so that it auto-plays for a while.
Because the initial release was not built with new features in mind, the app is also (in large parts) re-written from scratch. As a result, new bugs might have been introduced. If you encounter any, please let me know!
I also took this opportunity to slightly update the default tunes included with the app, in particular to use the new semitones. This makes some of them a bit more pleasant to listen to :)
There are two ways to get these:
-
A fresh install. Manually wipe the game data either directly on the Playdate (
Settings -> Games -> Music Box -> Delete Game Data
) or delete the contents of the directory (Data -> user.???.com.tizianzeltner.musicbox
) when connecting the Playdate to a computer and booting it in data disk mode. Warning: this will reset the whole app and all custom tunes will be deleted. -
Manual file replacement. Download and unzip the updated tune files here and manually replace the corresponding files in (
Data -> user.???.com.tizianzeltner.musicbox
) when connecting the Playdate to a computer and booting it in data disk mode.
