Real Guitar Hero!

I've been wondering if there is a way to do Soft Mozart for Guitar, perhaps by reflectors on the guitar and shining an infrared light at it, using some tracking points on the guitar itself, and the WiiMote camera to track which strings are plucked, etc.

Keyboard Breakout


So, I just bought a keyboard along with some cool educational software called Soft Mozart to help teach my kids how to play music on the piano.

Since I'm such a geek, I also created a little game that uses the keyboard to play breakout.

Here is a screenshot.

You've got to have a midi keyboard plugged in to try it out. It uses JFugue for the Midi, and my old standbye, PulpCore for the game engine.
