Performous
Performous is an open-source karaoke, band and dancing game
where one or more players perform a song and the game scores their
performances.
Performous is more than a karaoke game. Instead of just
displaying
the lyrics, notes are also displayed and the performance is scored
based on how well you actually hit the notes.
Features include:
- Top-notch visuals:
- Fully OpenGL-based rendering
- Music videos as backgrounds
- Very accurate singing pitch detection:
- Noisy environments are not an issue
- Multiple simultaneous tones can be detected and separated
properly
- Intelligent gameplay with guitar and bass:
- The engine determines what was intended rather than
simply picking the nearest chord
- Hammer-ons and pull-offs are undoed when the player
accidentally does them and then picks the note in the regular way
- Drums
- Dance pads
- Scoring system
- Supports songs in UltraStar, Frets on Fire and StepMania
formats
- Audodetection of microphones and instruments from
SingStar, Guitar Hero and Rock Band
- Solid C++ engine
- Performs well on slower machines too
- Rapid but still safe development thanks to advanced C++
features
- Plenty of threaded stuff like background loading of songs
and videos
