So I made a quick prototype on my music rhythm game by following a tutorial by Clickteam Fusion Developer. I made the square buttons in Adobe Illustrator and imported them into Godot. When pressing the corresponding Left, Up, and Right arrow buttons on the keyboard once the moving squares overlap with the idle ones, the script I made returns a message in the console saying "Good". If not overlapping but the player presses the buttons then script returns a message saying "Bad".
I also followed another tutorial on making rhythm games from LegionGames. This tutorial I followed mostly to understand the theory behind translating musical concepts into programming. The tutorial itself wasn't that helpful as the YouTuber developed the game using an older version of Godot. The tutorial made by Clickteam was made recently using the latest version of Godot. I will link their videos on this blog post.
I plan to implement most of what I learned from LegionGames when I develop more of the rhythm game such as making several separate collision shapes to differentiate between "Bad" "Good" "Great" and "Perfect" as you would typically find in most Rhythm games. Another important note is calculating the measures and beats of the song chosen, LegionGames linked helpful articles on his video from other game developers that have worked on rhythm games. Also look forward to improvements of the design assets of the game and adding a free copyright song online.
