Music for my game!

Arcade Collaboration
1

Hello! I need music for my raft themed game! And what fits better to raft/ ocean? Exactly Bosun Bill (sea of thieves)
If someone could make this song for me I wuold be very happy!
Pls Make the song in a new Forever loop so It always plays! And also make it so You don’t hear that it is looped (so that you can’t hear any end or start)
Thank You!
(You don’t have to do the secondary sound! Just the main melody!)
Thx
Here is the game

Here is the song

I whipped up something real quick for you:

Open it in TypeScript, copy, and paste away. Hope this helps :slight_smile:

This is great! Did you do this all by hand? I downloaded some public domain sea shanty midi files and converted them to RTTTF for my project, but this sounds SO good.

Haha thanks for the compliment :smiley:

This is how I make the songs in Arcade:

  1. First I find some sheet music and download it. I usually use the Musescore website to browse for sheet music.
  2. Then I open it in the Musescore software, make song adjustments as necessary, and export to the MIDI format. I usually check the .mid file in Audacity.
  3. After, I adjust my Python scripts to use the MIDI file I just exported. The first script opens and parses the MIDI with Mido and generates a JSON file that looks like this:
{
    "midi": [
        [
            {
                "note": 72,
                "name": "C5",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.24895833333333334
            },
            {
                "note": 48,
                "name": "C3",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.24895833333333334
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "note": 67,
                "name": "G4",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.24895833333333334
            },
            {
                "note": 55,
                "name": "G3",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.24895833333333334
            }
        ],
        [
            {
                "note": 72,
                "name": "C5",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.4739583333333333
            },
            {
                "note": 48,
                "name": "C3",
                "velocity": 80,
                "time": 0.4739583333333333
            }
        ],
        // More notes
    ]
}
  1. I then run my second script to use this JSON and it produces a .ts file that looks like this: (I changed the speed to be I think 1.5x slower.)
function play_song() {
    // ['C5', 'C3']
    {
        music.setVolume(80)
        // C5
        timer.background(function() {
            music.playTone(523, 372.0)
        })
        // C3
        music.playTone(130, 373)
    }
    // ['G4', 'G3']
    {
        // G4
        timer.background(function() {
            music.playTone(391, 372.0)
        })
        // G3
        music.playTone(195, 373)
    }
    // ['C5', 'C3']
    {
        // C5
        timer.background(function() {
            music.playTone(523, 709.5)
        })
        // C3
        music.playTone(130, 710)
    }
    // More notes
}

play_song()

So I don’t do the songs by hand (I would have gone insane) but writing the scripts to generate the typescript took ages…

I’m sorry, I’m not accepting music requests anymore. If you have the MIDI file for it, you may be able to convert it with these instructions:

or an older version:

do you know how to make platforms move up and down
