A thing I wrote in January 2007 to write music for the Atari 2600.
|
|
I generated MIDI files and used the pitch bend MIDI controller to
|
|
adjust each pitch to what the Atari 2600 can output. There was some
|
|
giant document that listed all the frequencies for each distortion
|
|
that the Atari 2600 could emit, and I used that to generate MIDI
|
|
files for each pitch. 15 years later I converted them to ogg so that
|
|
modern browsers could handle them.
|
|
|
|
What fun!

## Running this thing
|
|
1. [Install PHP](https://www.php.net/downloads.php)
|
|
- This was written in 2007 so that's like PHP 5.2 or something,
|
|
but I tested it in 2022 on PHP 8.1.4 and somehow it all still
|
|
works. It seems impossible but it did.
|
|
2. Run `/path/to/php -S localhost:9999` from this directory
|
|
- On Windows it'll be `/path/to/php.exe`. Thread safety shouldn't
|
|
matter so download either version.
|
|
3. Visit http://localhost:9999/ in your browser
