What even is this game?

This is a game I had to make for a project in high school. I only had two weeks to make it! Hope you like it lol.

Inspiration

At first Retro Rhythm started out as a dead, unfinished project sitting in my desktop, gathering dust and never getting done; that is, until one day I was watching YouTube and came across a video about someone who made a rhythm game for their computer science class in a week!

Funny enough, my English III class (yes I'm not joking) had an end-of-the-year project where we could create anything we wanted. I had trouble trying to come up with ideas for a project, when I remembered the YouTube video and got an idea: bring my unfinished project back to life.

You should definitely watch the video, and Poly, if you're reading this, I just want to say thank you SO MUCH for inspiring me!!! I had so much fun making this game and I hope you have fun playing it! :3

(You should definitely subscribe to Poly, he's so cool for real.)

How to add songs?

When you download a copy of the game (or the game's source code), look in the assets folder, add your chart file in the charts folder, your song's background in the backgrounds folder, and the .mp3 and .ogg sound files in the songs folder.

Retro Rhythm will automatically detect the chart and add it to the game, no coding required!

Charting

Since I was forced to develop this project in such a short time span, I did not make a typical built-in editor like most rhythm games, but rather made an editor in TurboWarp (a heavily modified version of Scratch) and made notes by pressing keys based on what the song sounded like.

You can open the "editor" by downloading the .sb3 file and then opening it in TurboWarp (trust me, if you just read the blocks, it won't be very hard to figure out how it works).

(If you watched the video, you'll immediately notice that I took Poly's idea but just made it more advanced lol.)

Modding

If you really want to mod the game, then read the compiling info file for more details and a basic 3 step guide for building the game!
