What is this?

Created for the 2021 MakeUC Hackathon, this is a small chip tune player inspired by the town tune in Animal Crossing.

There are 16 notes:

• G low - E high
• ~: Rest
• -: Hold (plays the previous note)
• ?: Wild (plays a random note)

Easter Eggs

Putting specific sequences of notes will result in different things occurring. Some are well known tunes, others are thematic sequences of notes.

Dies Irae

Harry Potter

Pokemon

Naruto and Naruto Pikachu

Sleepy -- Too much silence

Demo

We posted a demo video of this for devpost as part of the Hackathon
