Interesting Features

Read-In Chart Files

Each song’s chart is created in an excel sheet and exported into a text file as a comma separated list for the game to read-in. This makes editing the song’s notes easy since it does not require editing the project directly.

Song Information Singleton

The game has a song information singleton, meaning that the data for the song playing is stored in a game object that is moved across all scenes. With this, each song is played using the same scene but with different information stored in the singleton.

Camera Pulse

Through the use of Cinemachine, the camera’s FOV zooms in and out with the BPM of the music, creating a cool pulsing effect.

Volume Control

Through the use of Singleton logic, PlayerPrefs and UI, the player is able to control the volume of the music in any scene.

Pause Menu

While in-game, the player may pause whenever they want by pressing the Escape button. There, they can either press escape to resume the game, or use the buttons to either resume or go back to the level select screen.

Countdown Timer

At the start of the game and when resuming the game, a countdown is shown before the song starts or continues.

Unity Input System

This project uses the newest experimental version of Unity’s Input System instead of the old GetAxis and GetKey input system. A Control Scheme is used, which makes it much easier to allow for different types of devices for input, if needed.
