Making Chiptune Music using Sonic Pi v2.0

Warning: this might not work on a RaspberryPi yet

I was curious about making retro gaming sounds using Sonic Pi. A couple of months and a lot of Googling later, here's the original Mario Bros theme as it was heard on the NES console.

I'm (just about) old enough to remember rushing home from school to play this game at Philip Boucher's house, sitting cross-legged in front of the TV till my feet got pins and needles. Working out how to recreate it for Sonic Pi was a lot of fun!

What's an Effective Engineer?

They are the people who get things done. Effective Engineers produce results.

Adopt the Right Mindsets

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

	#!/bin/bash
	# Purpose : post a file as github gist
	# Author : Carl Verbiest

	typeset local

	script=$0
	script_dir=${script%/*}
	script=${script##*/}

	{
	repository(name: "sickvim", owner: "jonathansick") {
	ref(qualifiedName: "master") {
	target {
	... on Commit {
	id
	history(first: 5) {
	pageInfo {
	hasNextPage
	}

	live_loop :m do
	sleep 1
	end

	live_loop :a do
	sync :m
	sample :ambi_dark_woosh
	sleep 4
	end
