Breakout Beats - Applet Demo

This is an applet demo of exactly the same program that I used in my live performance of "Breakout Beats" on May 16, 2009.

• Purple Phase contains this tune.
• This demo might not be so used easily because this is exactly same as the one I used in my performance.
• It has no "Start Button" or "Stop Button". Just reload the page if you want to restart.
• It has no "Game Over"
• Type "H" to move your pad left, "L" to right. Using shift key with "H" or "L", you can move the pad faster.
• Type "+" to make the ball bigger and the pad wider. Type "-" to make them smaller or narrower. Note it may crash this demo because I do not check boundaries.
• The horizontal axis corresponds music progression. If you break all vertical blocks, the loop of the music gets shorter.
• The vertical axis corresponds frequency. The less blocks you have, the narrower bandwidth of band-pass filter will be applied.
• Chebyshev-filtered saw waves will be played as the ball moves. The X coordinate corresponds the pan of the wave, and the Y coordinate corresponds the frequency of the wave.
• It still has bugs, especially around the collision detection and calculating loop range. But I will not fix them because fixing them is annoying, and I want to remain this program same as the one I used in the live performance.
• I do not make my source code public because I am a shy Japanese. Gomen nasai.
