Musical Mouse

Created By:

I'm not sure what kind of drugs I was on when I made this xD but here is MUSICAL MOUSE!
Run it, it runs on your system tray (much like Eject, which I just published, shameless advertising) so yea then you can:

Enable/Disable Mouse Sounds
Enable/Disable Keyboard Sounds
Use Qwerty Tones
Use Alphabetical Tones

Listen to music while you type, it's amazing.

NOTE: it remembers your choices, so feel free to put it in your Startup folder or whatever you want, if you have it turned off, it won't turn back on until you tell it to.

Wow that's annoying as crap. You couldn't have found some more pleasing sounds? Like nice wind-chime style sounds that come together to make for soothing tones.

Ie. if you used a major scale, the sounds will come together and make for pleasing 'music'. If you used a minor scale, the 'music' will be a little more sinister.

For an application that claims to be 'musical', there's very little that's musical about it. It's just annoying blips.

This could have been interesting if you put a bit more thought into it.

I never claimed that it was great or interesting, I was just bored, thought it'd be interesting, and then I shared it with the community.

And it did, in fact, please some people. On the Gwerdy Chat we would play songs (in qwerty mode) then we would try to guess what song it was.

And I'm not suggesting that it's supposed to be great.

I'm suggesting that:

a) An opportunity was missed to create a pleasing musical mouse/keyboard (you have a guitar fret as your icon so I assume you understand music theory, scales and chords)

b) The downlad only barely matches the description, yes you can create music with it, but the music is very unpleasing, due to low quality sound fx.

and I may add:

You're misrepresenting your talent by uploading applications that you don't think are great. Sure you've added another download to your name, but I'm probably going to think twice before I download your next program.

Eg. Hey? Here's a download by Eliyahu, oh wait didn't he make that download that I was disappointed with... hmm I don't want to be disappointed again.

I admit, my standards might be a bit high. Some people will probably get a kick out of it. It's just difficult to refrain from expressing my view when I download your program only to find absolutely nothing positive to say about it.

I don't judge downloads by how quickly the person threw it together, or if the person says, for example, 'I was just mucking around', I judge it by my experience using it.

You shouldn't judge a user's serious work based on something that is a joke.
I uploaded it because I mentioned it on Gwerdy and several people wanted to see it.
I believe that people should upload little apps like this for people to see to share creative ideas. I don't plan on taking this farther, but this could influence someone else to take your advice and make a better version.

Basically, don't judge a person's talent based on a small app such as this. I had no intentions to make a serious musical app to be used over and over, I made it as you said in hopes of people getting a kick out of it, and people did.

And I don't mind if you don't come back to my games :P Judging a game by the creator is not a good idea, as people change and their games change. It's also hard to judge over a span of genres, as this is far from a game. So yes, if I post another small system tray app, you probably should stay away from it, but if I post a full game, it's kind of naive to assume it's bad.

I also figured out the Pirate of the Caribbean theme song, but it would take forever to put it on here. :D
