BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. Alternatively this software can be taken seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line. This delightful application allows experimentation with sound and vision which will compound and intrigue you. Whether you are an adult or child, scientific brainbox or avid gamer. It doesn’t have a plot, no heroine, no villain. It has no guns or alien beings. It is simply time to get creative, and those who are creative will love this. –Gosfish Games

BallDroppings uses physics simulation of elastic masses to make a controlled metaphysical musical system with simple rules that mimic nature. The software is written in C++ using GNU GCC, GLUT, OpenGL, and fmod on all platforms.

Instructions:

draw lines under the balls as they fall.

    just read from a forum: you can change the sound. just replace the file “sine.aiff” in the folder “media” inside the folder where the program is installed. the file must be .aiff and be named sine.aiff. it gets really weird when you feed the program a drum loop! :-)

    Editor, I don’t see any “media” folder in the mac osx version even when I go through the package contents. Any clue where the file might be stored and or loaded?

    Thanks!

    dbit, inside the package contents there must be some folder called media.. it’s in there.. maybe inside another one. Good luck !
