BPM RPG: An Audio Adventure for the the iPad

Andrew Luczak



ABSTRACT

This report outlines the development of BPM RPG, a turn-based role-playing game for the iPad. BPM RPG is a game where the key to victory lies in the player’s music library: any songs that the player has loaded on their device can be used by BPM RPG as a means of generating game data. While the original intent was to derive game data through in-depth analysis of the chosen song, this report shows the inherent difficulties with performing such a task in an interactive game setting, and demonstrates an alternate, simpler approach to producing the desired data.
