Antidisestablishmentarianism! This is not the name of our project, even though it is a fun name. Our project will henceforth be called “Step Step Classic.” This project's members consist of a one Simon Tower and a one Sasson Jamshidi. The author of this particular HTML opus is Simon Tower. Our overall project goal is pretty much as follows:

Essentially, our project will consist of two different but equally important parts. Our first task will be to set up a dance pad to work with Stepmania on Linux. To make our project more complicated, though, we want to be able to incorporate any kind of music into the Stepmania program, including home-made and ripped MIDI tracks. We also want to have the music come with randomly generated steps based on the beat and rythm.
The second task involves classic video games. Although dumping a ROM from a game cartridge may be a little beyond the scope of this class, ROMS are already out there for almost every Super Nintendo-era game. We want to be able to isolate different tracks of music from the ROM and be able to play them in MIDI format. Furhtermore, we want to be able to create a custom set of steps to be used with Stepmania, as well as be able to have randomly generated steps.
Installing and setting up Stepmania with a Dance pad will be a sizeable project in and of itself. Being able to create our own sets of steps for our own sets of music will be another challenge alltogether! Let alone isolating music tracks from the vast amount of data stored in a video game ROM. We would love to have an endless library of old-school Nintendo songs to dance to, and hopefully this project will allow us to. A setup like this also has some great commercial possibilities, but of course we would only be interested in the information and learning we'll glean from the experience.
