[Super-tux-devel] Music

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

One thing I don't like in Super Tux is the music.  The song on the first
level is entertaining enough, but not very good.  I'd like, if possible,
to find someone willing to track some MOD music files specifically for
Tux Paint, for us to release as GPL, of course. :^)

A few things:

  1. The music should speed up once the timer gets to a certain point.
     It emphasizes the urgency with which you must escape the level.
     (Super Mario Bros does this, of course)

  2. When you get the Golden Herring, and become invincible, the music
     must change to a different, more exciting song.  (Always the same
     song when you get the Herring, regardless of what music is playing
     on the level.)  When the level music begins playing again, it's a cue
     that you will soon loose your super powers, so it must begin playing
     again a few seconds before the invincibility timer runs out.
     (Again, Super Mario Bros. "rules" :^) )


I should ask on the SDL mailing list whether there's a way to ask MikMod
to increase tempo of a song, which would make #1 trivial.  If not, we may
need to have two copies of each level music we use... one normal speed,
one 2x speed.  (It may be easy to load a song in a MOD tracker and adjust...
I dunno)
