== Adam Fox's Final Project: Guitar Hero Interface==
For my final project, I used ChucK to build an two different instruments that can be played with a Guitar Hero controller.

=== Rhythm Guitar Hero ===

The first instrument uses the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karplus-Strong_string_synthesis Karplus Strong algorithm] to simulate a six-string acoustic guitar that strums chords.  The chords are preprogrammed, such that each voicing is consistent with that of a real acoustic guitar.  Some of the methods implemented for the class are:

* .capo(int, READ/WRITE) ... tunes the guitar up by half-steps, simulating a capo

* .setStrumSpeed(float, READ/WRITE) ... sets the strum speed (0 is instantaneous, 1 is a slow arpeggio)

*.startPlaying() ... puts the guitar in interactive mode, allowing live performance

=== What to include on your project page ===
* A description of your project
* Your code
** If it's short, you can make a new page for it like [http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Poly_demo.ck this one]
** Or, if there's a lot of it, put it in a .zip file so that people can upload it.
*** We suggest: put it in your public_html directory on your network drive, then make a link, e.g. to http://www.princeton.edu/~yourname/yourfile.zip. Let us know if you need any help!
* Instructions on how to run your code
* A sound (or video!) recording of your piece, if possible
** See directions above on putting it on your network drive and linking to it
