Drum Machine for the R36S
My second love2d app for the R36S game console! And the first time I am collaborating with another creative.
Compared to my first app, the Piano for R36S, this one proved to be a lot more complex. In the process of developing it, I encountered a few roadblocks that were rather tricky to work around.
- Love2D's filesystem was not able to write files normally
- There were some loading issues if I wanted to include libraries (like Fluidsynth for MIDI)
Thankfully, I was able to use LUA's file I/O to get around reading and writing files on R36S. Releasing it to the love2d community on discord for an early test also surfaced some issues like better keymapping for users that want to run it on their computers.
I will continue to improve on it by implementing smart keymapping so that the app can use different maps based on the detected platforms.
Thanks again to Sönke Moehl / Low Entropy for donating his drum one-shots for use!
