Xmp for Android

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:00:33 +0000

Xmp is a mod player that plays over 90 mainstream and obscure module formats, including Protracker MOD, Fasttracker II XM, Scream Tracker 3 S3M and Impulse Tracker IT files.

• Create new playlists from the menu and long press files and playlists for more options.
• Tap the player screen to change visualization modes
• Tap waveforms in channel viewer to mute channels
• Long press waveforms in channel view to solo channels

Sorry, AY music not coming soon because it's not internally organized as tracker music.

@UFOnaut: Tested polar.mod (116kb) on Protracker and it plays equally as bad. It seems to be a bad conversion from old Soundtracker. If you know a tracker that plays it correctly please inform me.

Known bugs:
• Channel viewer doesn't work with Adlib modules
• Reported problem with Janne Suni's Acidjazzed Evening, need assistance to identify the exact point
• Reported problems in Organic.it and SaveMe.it from Unreal Tournament 99 (will investigate and fix)

Ideas and requested enhancements:
• Persistent replay information after stop
• Format support: .MO3, .MT2
• Switch to player from playlist instead of using notification
• Option to add playing module to playlist
• Add ZX Spectrum music formats stp, pt2, pt3
• Asynchronous module listing
• Recursive directory playing option
• Hidden pattern explorer
• Comment/sample text viewer
• Some kind of module download assistant
• Export module as ringtone
• Be able to play from network/cloud-based storage
• Be able to play from zip archives
• Scrobbling?
• ...
• Fix bugs listed above

Recent changes:
• Update player engine to libxmp 4.1.2
• Fix handling of XM keyoff event
• Fix loss of precision in portamento
• Fix MTM sample fine tuning

Many thanks to sub and Misty De Meo for reporting important bugs that have been fixed in this release.

Asciiquarium Live Wallpaper

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 02:25:37 +0000

Asciiquarium is an aquarium/sea animation in ASCII art. It includes multicolored fish, a whale, and a fish-eating shark.

This retro-styled live wallpaper is based on a Unix terminal program written by Kirk Baucom, which is based on ASCII art by Joan Stark. Animation may look rough, but that's the way terminals worked back then :-)

THIS IS A LIVE WALLPAPER, NOT A REGULAR APPLICATION! Please make sure you execute it as such before reporting that it doesn't work.

To run: Menu → Wallpaper → Live wallpapers → ASCIIQuarium

Tested and known to work on: Milestone, Nexus One, Galaxy S, Xperia X10 Mini, Desire, Desire Z, EVO 4G, Samsung I5500 (Galaxy 5)

Live wallpapers won't work on: HTC Wildfire (with stock ROM), Motorola Spice, HTC myTouch.

Recent changes:
Repair malfunctioning shark teeth and other minor improvements.
