Jamplay: Name that Note
The Name that Note:PRE game that we developed for Jamplay was significantly different to the original game. The graphics were completely overhauled and the game-play mechanics modified to create a game that does away with the 60-second timer and instead ramps up the difficulty as the player progresses through levels that are each made up of 8 questions. As the player progresses through these levels, the time available for each level decreases until eventually they’ll need lightning-fast reaction speeds to progress any further.
The questions themselves are selected from a bank that is defined in an external XML file, as are some other game variables like the selection of base notes, the starting level time and the level time decay rate.
At the end of the game the user’s score is posted to the Jamplay score board via a Javascript API that they kindly supplied us with, and the top 3 scores are displayed on the gaming section of the site for all to see.
do you have to be in jamplay to buy this and if not how to buy
Hi David
This game (and several others) are available to Jamplay subscribers from the Jamplay website – http://www.jamplay.com. It is not possible to buy the game from Quak Multimedia as it’s Jamplay’s property.
If you wanted to commission your own version of a guitar-based Name that Note however, do let me know.
Hi,
I surmise the costs involved would be a lot greater than £15.00 wouldnt they?
Well, that depends. If you were happy to have the Name that Note game but with guitar sounds replacing the piano ones, it wouldn’t take long to do that.
On the other hand, if you wanted a game that plays like the Jamplay one then that would cost more as new graphical assets would need to be created, as Jamplay owns all the graphics in their game.
So taking the second option what approx would we be talking?
I’ve sent you an email.
