Prog started life as a project to provide procedural music generation for Quasidroid. That idea involved into creating an independent library that could be plugged into any game requiring responsive music. It's not really got as far as managing either of those goals yet, but somehow my test environment turned into a demonstrator of the exact opposite: procedural music driving a visualisation.
This initial public release has a reasonably complete music generator and visualiser. The generator is missing a drum track (hence the visualiser is too), and I'd like it to be able to generate chord loops from scratch rather than having a fixed set (currently six, with a limited palette of chords). It could also be a bit more adventurous with introducing rests.
The list of features I'd like to add to the user interface is too long to go into here. Feel free to suggest your own.
