Piano

pygame learning

This weekend I work with my kid for a science-music project and here are some code for it.

I choose pygame because I want to learn to use class object in my other learning project, I think this project is good for me to try thinking objects.

I am a rookie in coding, codes looks stupid and because I tried to grab codes from lot's of other masters, the code style maybe confused, and I'm sorry for that.

I learned from this project:

  start an pygame project
  KEY event listening
  show text in pygame
  move an object
  remove an object
  use Tk for loading file
  replace Tk with pygame-pgu because Mac won't let me to open 
  another window
  learn more about Class-Object

and

I actually start this program with winsound module, and it did works. Through winsound I showed my kid the connection in frequency and sound with the Beep function, so I keep that name used continued.

This program is written in python 3.7 with pygame 1.9.6, but on a Mac or with python 3.8 you have to choose install the beta version of pygame (2.0) or it will not work.

I am study coding from home by myself, so if anyone think any idea which could make my code looks better, you're my teacher!

One more thing:

If you want to run this program you will need the Piano sound .WAV files, which should be found at https://github.com/saransha/EasyElectric

you have to download them and put to './Piano' director first.

for soundMac.V0.2.py, add function: save and load.

Remember,

• '(backslash)' to record and stop,
• 'backspace' to playback.

Now, you can use

• ']' to save record to a file, and use
• '[' to load them back.

This program should works both on Mac and PC.
