Introducing Muse, a Ruby DSL for writing and creating digital music

[Sau Sheong Chang]

Hi guys,

One of my weekend projects. Muse is a Ruby DSL for creating digital music. By requiring the library you can write a Ruby script in pseudo musical notation that actually creates WAV files. It's now a gem that you can install and use directly.

https://github.com/sausheong/muse

I welcome feedback and contributors! Especially musicians since I'm lousy at it :P

Nice.

I couldn't find the tests or specs? Did you forgot to check them in?

Ah no. It's one of those things I needed help on :) I got a pledge from Tze Yang to help me boost up that area though (fingers crossed).

It might help to write them before the code, that way you can't forget them :)))

Probably so :) 

But then I would probably need to know what I wanted to achieve to start writing tests. Which I don't when I started. I wasn't going to write a DSL or even create music (at least the way it is now) when I started.

Hiya,

Oh, it is very common that you have no idea yet how things will become when writing the first test. Usually the first test relates to solving only a very small part of whatever it will become :)

But writing tests first does help a lot in figuring out what direction to design the actual code :)

Try it out sometimes :)

Thks :) But I think you're mistaken -- it's not that I didn't know how things will turn out. It's that I didn't know what I wanted to do at all. This is fun weekend project and I started on a blank slate, without much thought on what actually comes out until it came out. I've written tests before BTW.

ANYWAY. This is not the kind of feedback I was looking for :) But still, appreciate it.
