ORGTerm (Terminal based ORG playback)

Introducing ORGTerm; The new way to play ORGs without platform dependencies. No longer will you have to put up with the drum sounds in WINE messing up, or inject your ORGs into CSE2 just to listen to them on non-windows platforms.

ORGTerms is a terminal based application that uses the ORG code from CSE2, and the ncurses library to create a CS sounding experience right in your terminal.

It displays info on the Wait time/BPM, Measures, the Time Signature, each track data plus the frequency offset.
Right now there's no non-CS-compatible drum support, but you can still dump your own custom wave100 into the program folder and it will load that. If no file called Wave.dat is found in the program folder, it will load a backup inside the program itself.

Building instructions:

Spoiler

cmake -B build
cmake --build build

Damn, you've finally gone terminal,,,

...I wonder if you could repurpose this to remake orgmaker as a tracker? That'd be pretty nifty.

Someone's suddenly enthusiastic about using a tracker

I'm not really the hugest fan of trackers to be honest. They are hard to read, and it's not great for composing imo.

I think getting ORGmaker3 built, making it multi-platform via SDL, and fixing all the problems that make the program cumbersome, would be a lot better of an idea.
The only problem is I don't have 6 months to a year to burn on making that a possibility.

Preach

I'm just suggesting it because I know some people favor trackers over actually intuitive DAWs like pxTone

 

actually intuitive DAWs like pxTone

Give it a better interface and maybe I'll consider.

 

Been busy with other things lately, but I finally got some time to update this, pause/resume is now a thing, as well as real-time info on what measure the org is on. Not a whole lot but It's getting there.

Next in line is ORGmaker drum support, and a more interactive interface when I get some time so stay tuned.
