Guitar Hero for Commodore 64

Published 11 March 08 10:48 AM | Coding4Fun 

Toni did something most people wouldn't have.  He programmed Guitar Hero in his Commodore 64, which he calls Shredz64.

Here are a few of the features:

  1. The ability to play (many) SID files, including ones added by the player.
  2. The ability to edit "notes" (the buttons that scroll during gameplay) for both built in and imported songs.
  3. Pseudo 3D gameplay to give it the look and feel of a modern day game.
  4. High score tracking, 5 scores for each song.
  5. The ability to detect when the guitar is lifted up to activate shred mode.

Toni even included source code for Shredz64 to download.

Very cool!

(Except your link at the bottom should read "source code for Shredz64 to download")

Amazing, Nice concept... and it seems to work better than I woulda thought.

Love the Zelda song too.
