Or if a programmer with a HD2 could help out to create a separate version with proper multitouch support...

HD2 is another example of a phone bugged down by Windows. It has all the specs, it has the looks. But it has ugly apps, except for the few expensive ones, and independent & unacknowledged apps like TTM. It's never really going to get to use multitouch, because apart from the xda-devs community, other programmers really don't give a ****. They just want money.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciccio2a:
thank you so much this game is amazing!! We want more songs! It's the killer app on the touch hd!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lpachuong:
Aren't we going to have further development for this app :( Tap-Tap on iPhone is getting more interesting and I hate it. Hope someone can share the code and a full instruction so that others can add songs and notes for the game.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dkjh:
Hi guys,

I am playing it on i900 omnia, i was wondering how come i can play the game and exit the game but not click on the options button. Any help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Here's an extract of the original post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lpachuong:
Hi everyone. Here are 2 songs I just made. They are:

- I will never break your heart - Backstreet Boys: http://ict2006_2007.webs.com/Invrbreakurheart.rar - Level: Easy :)

- Rule the world - Take that: http://ict2006_2007.webs.com/rulestheworld.rar - Level: Easy :)

Extract it to \Program Files\Touch The Music\tracks\

More songs will be made during this week. If you know which posts here have other songs please PM me so that I can make a whole collection for everyone. Mortscript will be used to choose the songs for the time being until option function is made. Between these two songs, I spent more time for Rule the World because I like its version on iPhone (which is on hard-mode) and make it become easy on TTM :D

Enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azncrip23:
great work! im so eager to see your next songssss...:):)

is 2 link above the same? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lpachuong:
Thank you for your reply. You are rite :D Link has been updated or you can find it here http://ict2006_2007.webs.com/rulestheworld.rar I have been waiting for the responses on these songs and will do more when I have more time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davie2gravie:
no options?

i just installed the game on my i900 but i can only either "play" or "exit" on the menus, it seems that i cant access the "options"?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Thank you very much. Sorry I haven't tried them yet, but rest assured it motivates me :)

Also, could you please do the tracks on a hard difficulty? As long as the framerate supports it, the harder the better.

I'm planning on implementing the easy mode by taking some notes out of the harder version.

Come on, two or three posts above you we're discussing that. I've added clear information on the first post now. The options menu does NOT work yet. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XeniczZ:
amazing game, best one I've played for WM. It's clean, simple and great fun! Could you try to add some of the download links of the songs people are posting for this game to the 1st post of the thread so i don't have to scan through looking for links?

Sorry if its already been mentioned but how do you create your own songs so i can have a try at making some RHCP tracks? thanks and keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
I will definitely do that once I get back to development :)

Thank you for the suggestion.

I plan on releasing a track editor, but if you can't wait, check my next post for the instructions ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Here are the level instructions:

I recommend using a program like audacity to open the mp3 file. Then, check the timing of the notes and write them in a text file as such:

<note type> <time>

Time can be absolute (i.e. 3000 = 3 seconds since beginning of the song) or relative (i.e. +1000 = 1 second since PREVIOUS NOTE). Please put in an absolute note for reference once in a while.

Note types can be:

L - left

M - middle

R - right

< - L + M

> - M + R

v - L + R

So for example, a simple music could be:

# This is a comment

# Intro of simple music

L 2000

R +200

M +300

R +200

< 5000

> +500

# Chorus. Note the absolute timing for reference

R 7000

L +200

R +200

M +300

etc......

Always remember, higher pitch (acute) notes should be on the right. I can't tell you enough to look at the track1.txt in the tracks folder of the game, to understand what I just said.

When you want to test it, convert your mp3 to aac and save it in the tracks folder as well as the txt with the notes script. Rename them both to track1.aac and track1.txt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maduuto:
Multitouch isn't working, my device has got no multitouch support!

Multitouch for Touch the Music is entirely software-based. It should work on any phone without hardware multitouch (yeah I know, mixed roles here).

If it doesn't on yours, try the latest version out and send me your log.txt

Will multitouch be availbe at xda neo?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
It should be, why don't you try it and report? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] inf3rno89:
I was actually looking for this kind of game, when this thread popped up! Big thumbs up to the developers. I will post my experiences here with this game. RESPECT

Edit: Works perfect, except for the multitouch (can't hit two buttons at the same time) I have a Leo (HD2). I hope you will go further with this project. Thumbs up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TING-:
Hey, why is it that i can't play those songs on the game itself?

I've extracted the files, but...

i can't play them.

There is only sweet child of mine..

Please help me out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
You have to overwrite the old ones for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TING-:
Thanks a million!

Great game, btw(:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 3d.dido:
Hi, I have 2 questions

1.Is there some place wrere I download sound tracks for the game?

2.My son have hp6828 WM6.1 and touch the music is his favorit game - the game work perfect. I have Qtek S200 WM6.1 the game run but no sound - what to do?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
1) Currently no. But I'm resuming work on Touch The Music soon (I hope) and I'll probably pump some players to upload their tracks.

2) It's a known problem with DirectShow in some ROMs. I don't know if you can try other ROMs or not, but as far as I know I can't do anything :S
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jpfowl:
I'm new to this site and didn't have the time to sift through all thae pages, so I am wondering where a link to the game is. I see the link on the first post, is that it? Also can someone post a reply with all song lonks in it? Thanks!

P.S. love the game! tried out the game from the first link...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lilchicano:
hmm so thats what you do. i just myself just guess at where to put the notes at just by listening to the song, im gonna try this out during the weekend and see how it goes and see if that helps out with some timing issues or something.

Well as you can see, touch the music originally only has one song available. but there are user here that make there own songs (like me).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teetee1986:
Thank you very much.

One question: only one song available?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lilchicano:
yes originally only one song is available, hopefully in a future release we get like a song list to be able to play.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
So hmm, it seems I need yet another graphics artist.

Jakob has moved to iPhone and I've lost contact with him, so if anyone can give a hand, I'd be thankful.

If you're interested on making graphics for games and applications for Windows Mobile, PM me :) I've got at least 2 big projects, so don't hesitate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Nice to see it is somewhat back on track!

I wish I had bothered abit more with graphic design when I picked up the absolute basics 2 years ago...right now I don't think I'll be competent.

Good luck, and I'm sure you'll find a great designer somewhere here :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grekaal:
Song Request

Ok i was wondering if anyone can put fire flys on Toch The Music for the piblic just like Tap Tap Revenge thanks hope you can make it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loomx:
So glad this is back on track!!!

Is anyone able to help with implementing multitouch for the HD2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Still looking for graphics designers out there.

I'm online a fair bit of the day, on holidays now so I'll work more than usual.

I'm in Portugal (London Time - GMT) but that timezone is not a requirement on the artist's part.

I can communicate over PM here, gtalk/gmail or msn.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Reversedhex:
I do not have much time right now but if you can tell me what you want i might be able to make some graphics and you can see if you like them.

I am not an artist, I study technical computing (industrial Computing and Embedded Systems) but I now my way around photoshop and illustrator.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chicow:
Hmm I think I could give you a hand, I do no WinMo development but not for lack of will, I have just no technical training, but aout graphics, no wories :) Tell me only what you need to improve or continue :D

I studied art and graphic design so I have some ideas in that area ^^

So you can PM me and ask me to help you for your nice app :)

(And my English shows I'm french ^^)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Let me wait for the requests I already sent and then I'll see if I need to further fill your schedule up :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Schnetzi:
is it possible for my topaz to push the two balls which come at the same time?

mabe the music should be played a bit later...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
It should be, but I know some devices have problems with that.

I'll be focusing on music synchronization soon, investigate on possible fixes :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raversburger:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noobielameo:
Fan my Touch The Music

Hey there, i love the game for the bright coloured balls and the music is great.

The only problem i had is that i cannot touch 2 at one time on my HTC HD2.

Lastly, the music starts abit too fast after pressing play.

=D

looking forward to later version=]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
All known issues, but thank you for reiterating ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hlm818:
How come this is also on freewarepocketpc.net, but the pic of the game has a different home screen? Is that a different version?

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-touch-the-music.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Yes, those sites crawl XDA and upload apps that aren't theirs.

This is the only official place to download the game. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
LOVE THIS GAME!!! Anyway to add more songs? Can people make their own levels?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Added the info on the first post so I don't have to keep repeating it, sorry for taking so much time to do that ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] michi.housefan:
Hi would it be possible to make a menu before start to chose different tracks? This would be fantatic! Now you can only use ONE (!) Track and if you would have another then delete this. :confused: A menu like

Please choose your track:

Track 01

Track 02

Track 03

...

This would be sooooo great!!!!

I liuke this game very much!

And it would be also super to ad a highscore :):p

Thank you very much for this game!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
The track selection screen is planned for the next release, but that will take a while :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Schnetzi:
Hi Arlanthir

I'm sorry if I seem to be impatient but do you know when the next version will be released?

I'm really looking forward to it.

Greetings

Schnetzi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
At this rate, never... I talked with 4 guys about making graphics for me and I still have none.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
Seems like a great program, but MAN does it need some work. I found this trying to find a Tap Tap replacement because I played it on my friends iPhone, but I own an HD2. There's others like Rockband or Guitar Hero, but the sound and play is just a joke (literally like Nintendo graphics and weak sound). Yours played extremely well, but with obviously lacking graphics. Still the game played right and normal. I really hope you are able to release a newer version of this. I wish I was trained in graphics, but Im not. Still I hope you are able to get those Tap Tap type graphics into your game.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
Hey ! Great game here's some question!

where can i find the track edit script ? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
a little help please

HI IM CURRENTLY USING ACER NEOTOUCH BUT SOMEHOW WHEN I PLAY IT MY PHONE KEEPS VIBRATING NON-STOP ANYWAY TO FIX THIS IM USING ATRO'S ROM HELP ! :mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
What script?

Please, refrain from using caps lock for the whole sentence.

If and when I update the game, I'll give you an option to turn off vibration. Sorry I can't be of much more help right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Don-Carlo:
Hey,

installed this game yesterday and immediately got addicted. It's awesome!!!

As soon as I find time, I will write the .txt for a few songs.

Just one thing to the OP. I bet some people already contributed some .txts and songs,... could you maybe add all contributed songs and download links to the first or second post on page 1? That would be awesome!!!

Thanks!

Cheers,

Don
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zrune:
What kind of graphics do you need? Maybe I can be of some help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
A remake of the game's graphics would be enough for now, and I've got a guy working on that, but still no outcome. Show me how you would do it, if you're interested :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spooky+:
This game is amazing. and the fact that users can create their own tracks is awesome. I applaud those who have already done so; I've tried a bunch, and they're great. I didn't want to sound ignorant, so for the passed little while i've been going through this entire thread, and now my eyes hurt:( But tomorrow, I will definitely try to make a song:)

One thing i dont understand however, is the # that seems to break songs into segments. For example, I was just looking at the file Smells like Teen Spirit, and it has # Intro (Clean), # Intro (Dirty), # Pre Chorus 1, etc. in between the L +234 things... What's the purpose of those? and why is that some songs dont have that? Such as the In The End one?

I've never been so interested in something before; Thanks for creating this awesome game, Arlanthir, and Thank you, internet community for helping out:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
They're just comments, useful for whoever's doing the track ;)

The program ignores them while it's loading the notes' positions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kan827:
Great Game!!

Thanks for sharing!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Don-Carlo:
Hey,...

...again, how about collecting all song on the first page, so that users dont have to search 69 pages for them?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
I don't have the time right now, if anyone wants to collect the links, you're free to do so: it's not something I have to do. I'll post them on the first post with no problem :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ASDASDASDASDASD09U3:
Tracks

Hi op,

love this game so i thought i'd do my bit.

Heres a few tracks that others have submitted in the thread. A few were dead so i didn't copy them.

Sample: h*tp://mediafire.com/?nz15jvyxm4h

Smells like teen spirit: h*tp://rs241.rapidshare.com/files/314989177/smells_like_teen_spirit.zip

Kryptonite-3 Doors Down: h*tp://mediafire.com/?jyfqwqmtmty

I read that this one doesn't end but thought i'd add it anyway.

REPLACE * !!!!

Anyway, keep up the good work, we're all supporting you :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Spooky+:
Hey, I just finished my first song, and the notes are exactly how i want it, but the song isn't playing. I used itunes to convert my song too AAC but i dont think that works.. it's just giving me m4a files. Does anyone know a free converter online?

Hey guys...

Here's my skin package for Touch the Music v3.*

Completely original and works PERFECT on my HTC Fuze

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
I would appreciate if you contacted me first with this. I am, after all, still the developer.

Also, making just a VGA version of it completely forbids me from trying it out, along with a lot of other users.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zacrshades:
:o please excuse... can I post the other 3 res when finished?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Get in touch with me first, send me a PM and I'll check them out :)

After that, I'll tell you how you should post them as to make it easy for everyone to try them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
hey!

can like someone make a thread for all touch the music tracks ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:

hey all to those who wants new tracks, i will making an upcoming thread where you can find all the custom tracks i will make and of course i will be taking request and make them when im free i will post again for the thread link stay tune ! and of course im eager for the next version of TTM !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
If you excel in making them, some will appear on the default version, should you choose to accept it :P

Okay No Problem with that This is the thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6355948#post6355948 link soon i will be posting currently can't cause i'll be busy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
hey arlanthir would you consider the song baby by justin bieber to be the song for the default version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
This is not a new Touch The Music App!!!

This is my idea for the new TTM...

Sadly, I don't have photoshop and am only using Paint.Net which is not enough to make it user friendly...

The graphics are attached below, anybody who are interested to create the graphics for TTM can use this or even modify this~

I have pencil drawn the idea for other screens in the attachment.

Do zoom in and take a look!

Sorry I can't help with graphics but only provide ideas and feedback~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Next version will have more songs, or at least support them.

There won't be a single default song, so feel free to write many of them :)

Thanks for all the interest, you are truly what keeps this project alive!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lordhardware:
Hey, looks good... i'd be more than happy to make songs for you, do you use beatmapping? or any beat lines? (if not GREAT, that means bpm isnt an issue)

And the songs, are they MP3's with midi attachments?

:D thanks for the great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
No problem! While I'm waiting for the new version, I've made a collection of some songs I found in this thread and then used some C# to make a menu for it. It's clunky, but I really like the overall engine of the game. Just need more songs and menus!

Also, I have an HTC HD2 and I'm willing to test on WVGA resolution, if you need it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
The songs are currently aac's with a txt that describes the notes. See the first post for more information :)

Thanks. All users are testers right now, because the game is in pure alpha stage :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I figured as such. I'll keep following this thread, good work so far though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lordhardware:
Ouch, that leaves me much out of depth.

See i make alot of songs for games like Fretsonfire (fofix) and adore it. Although Fruityloops isnt exactly geared towards text editing haha.

Is there any chance of a change to the notation process in the future? because text events cant be as accurate without alot of work surely
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Without more information, I can't guess what you're talking about.

How do you make tracks for FretsOnFire?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
do include my songs when i developed it and what will be the graphic changes for tue next version ? and will be option button working ? and more animation aye ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
If they're good I'll include them.

I'm working with zacrshades for now, he's creating some good stuff.

The option button will be working, yes.

What more animations are you waiting for?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zacrshades:
Skin idea

The skin that I'm working on is made purely from paint.net. Regardless, nice design. I'll see if I can use it somehow in my skin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
Why not use GIMP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Sweet! Feel free to use my ideas~ I'm not really that good in PDN yet(much more to be explored)... All the best~

Anything, you can PM me and I'll see what I can help you with~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
Cant wait for the next version though the animations i was refering to was the frets you know on tap tap when you hit on the frets there is like some sort of animations effect will that be introduced in the next version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazemaster123:
hey!

guys did you know that you can actually dl the photoshop for free online ?!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] janneman22:
TTM Track Maker​

This is a little program for making Song txt files. Can save en open the txt files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
Nice, I'll try it when I get more time, as I know there's some songs that I want. I made a program like this in C# but it was too inaccurate so I didn't release it. Glad to see I'm not the only one :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lordhardware:
Audio file with midi accompaniment. As you know a midi file is made up of 10 octaves, (for frets on fire and guitar hero, octaves 4-8 are used, with easy difficulty being on the 4th and expert on the 8th)

Basically it involves setting LEFT to the first note on the octave, MIDDLE to the second, and RIGHT to the third. Using a midi file also makes creating the notations easier as you can play the song with the midi and hear that the notes are aligned.

Not only this but the length of the note is taken into account, so a sustained note is just a longer midi note.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
I see... I will investigate if it's possible to load and inspect midis on windows mobile, but I'm not too keen on building a loader. Could you please send me one of those tracks? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zacrshades:
Animations

Animation is increased in the next version when hitting frets. Follow the TTM Skin link in my signature for a preview of the new skin:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Arlanthir:
I replied to your pm like ages ago :P Any news?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zacrshades:
Hey, The game stretches the image from the one I've produced for the main menu buttons. In other words, I think the resolution of the placeholder is larger than the image. See below.
