Cave music

With ants on the kitchen counter once again (they're late this year), I began working on my Hamburgers Game Gear game. Today's task was not about programming, rather composing some eerie music for the caves level. My eye hurt a lot last night so I wasn't able to sleep very good. I slept for four hours last night, and couldn't get back to sleep. I later went to sleep at noon and woke up at 4 or so.

I just finished my music, which was programmed oddly. By plunking out certain notes in the MOD maker, I was able to compose a song for the level. I played a little bit with fading notes. The MOD making program I use also has a tool for converting the MOD to MIDI, which I played with a little bit. It sounds a lot better on a real Game Gear than on this MIDI it made.

I hate ants.
