So guys, I've had this idea for a rhythm game for a while. The key is to move the mouse in the direction of the indicated note when the receptor passes over it. There are also notes where you have to click once, click and hold, and I'd like to add regions where you can just go forget all and move your mouse sporadically like an idiot for points. It's similar to osu!.
What I have so far:
It uses the same kind of drawing perspective as
DJ Max Technika, where the receptor moves across the top and bottom of the screen. Doing the math for this kind of perspective has proven to be a little troublesome, especially where speed changes and such are concerned.
I've considered the traditional perspective where notes just go towards the receptor, like in DDR and
Taiko. I've also thought about something similar to what I have now, where the receptor only moves to the right and goes back to the left after the current measure is finished, instead of going right then left again. That's as far as I've gotten on ideas, though.
What do you guys think would be the best way about drawing the notes? I'd prefer something original too, if possible, so I don't get hit by copyright, lol.
