Bangkok reads chess game descriptions and re-play the games. Notice of events
(moves, captures, checks, etc.) are sent to a listener. Bangkok comes with a
listener that generates a MIDI file. In other words, the chess game is turned
into music.

Bangkok originated as the code for an art project by Tom Peak
<him...@tompeak.com>.

The Web site of Bangkok is http://bangkok.rubyforge.org. The RubyForge project
page is http://rubyforge.org/projects/bangkok, where the latest version of
bangkok may be downloaded. Bangkok is also available as a RubyGem.
