A revolutionary challenge to play a street fighter with a beautiful piano melody "SOUND FIGHTER"

Combined music and gameMusic gamesThere is a genre called (sound gee), but a trial of a new game playing a fighting game on a piano was performed in France, and a movie taking a picture of actually playing has been released. The movie contains a state of playing a street fighter in accordance with the beautiful piano performance, so I will not mind seeing it even if I am not a fighting game fan.

SOUNDFIGHTER - YouTube


SOUND FIGHTER is "Street fighter Alpha(Nation: Street Fighter ZERO) "based on the baseball game, two pianos are needed instead of the controller.


When a sound is emitted on the keyboard, it moves from the title screen to the character selection screen of the battle mode, and the two players select Ryu and Ken while hanging the piano.


It is time for the fight to start.


When you strike the piano keyboard ... ...


Ryu moved forward and suddenly.


When we hear different sounds ......


I moved in the backward direction this time.


The battle is spreading according to the beautiful melody played by two people.


A beautiful sound reverberates and jumps at the same time ....


A punch is delivered.


While playing, two people confirmed movement while taking eye contact. This is not playing the piano with ad lib but because it follows the determined performance. Since the character does not move according to plan unless two people simultaneously issue sound, it feels like two-person cooperation play rather than two persons fight.


Wave fist according to intense sound.


At the end I finished with a tornado whirlwind leg, and Ryu's victory.


It is a trivial attempt, but what is worrisome is how to operate the game with the piano.


Explaining SOUND FIGHTER's structure as zakkuri, we will electrically detect the vibration at the hammer part of the piano that is interlocking with the keyboardVibration sensorThe sensor will signal the movement of the keyboard.


The signal emitted from the sensor is read by Raspberry Pi and converted into data.


The input converted by Raspberry Pi is output to the main body of the game machine via Arduino, and the character moves.


For key assignment of the keyboard and controller,Piano codeIt is based on. For example, if you press the "C3" "E3" "G3" code at the same time, the strong punch is entered five times in a row, and the movement of the character and the code are corresponded It is like feeling.


SOUND FIGHTER is a project started by French public radio stations to let young people know classical music. There is something close to the sound gauge that the piano and the game are linked with each other, but the way the instruments play is reflected in the game play is a bit different in appeal.
