What is it you are trying to achieve? Trying to create a karaoke effect when the ball jumps on the words. What is the problem you are having? I can't seem to get the effect on how the ball jumps on the words. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I tried creating a circle and making it move but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone knows how to do this effect, post on this forum please. |

Post the code you got dude. We can then help you from what you got there. |

I high recommend that you don't go about with this whole karaoke thing... Turing isn't very efficient so you will run into lag and so on... But I guess you could always do some kind of projectile word to word? |

I would have it search for each word, find the middle letter of that word and the x/y coordinates to that letter, then using simple gravity physics and some algebra have it 'hop' to those coordinates (determine how far those coords are from the current location and how far it has to move horizontally every frame so the jumps are consistently timed). I would use a function/procedure for that. To time it with a song you'll need manual delays as well (delay() or delay.timesincelast()). It'd be cool to do actually. An interesting challenge. |

i think you'd want it to jump from syllable to syllable instead of letters to letters xDDD another challenge |

ah, well, yes. Forgot about that. I suppose you would look for vowels following a consonant (excluding the first and last). This would not be perfect, but meh. |

Unless you wanted to "calculate" the syllables, you could just store the file with syll-a-bles sep-ara-ted by a dash |

Unless you wanted to "calculate" the syllables, you could just store the file with syll-a-bles sep-ara-ted by a dash Thoughts: Have the program load a lyrics file and music file. Then have the user click for every syllable as their played side by side. The program would then contain the time to "sing" the syllable. That being said the song isn't 9000bpm with lyrics at the same pace. The ~ would erase the text halfway between the times registered in timing.txt. The times would be written in milliseconds. lyrics.txt Who-ooo-are-you? ~ oo-oo oo-oo ~ Who-ooo-are-you? ~ oo-oo oo-oo ~ ... timing.txt 1000 1444 1789 2687 3778 4789 ... Now alls that left for a Turing-Karaoke is for someone to be bored enough to write it. |

Actually, LaTeX has a file that includes where each syllable breaks in most English words (uses it to decide where it can hyphenate), so you could use that instead of having to have specialized lyrics. I don't know about timing though.. Last time I used Amarok, there was a project going on to make a karaoke database, and if their was already timing data on the song, it would skip when it thought it should, or you can press enter to skip to next line, and it would submit it to the database, so the idea was that eventually there would be accurate timing data on a lot of songs. I don't know where that's gotten though |
