Generative Music Box Project
What you'll learn
- JavaScript
Requirements
- Basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript programming skills
Description
Welcome to Build a Generative Music Box. In this project we take inspiration from Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers’ Bloom application. You'll build a web application, using JavaScript, that allows you to create generative, ambient music. With a small amount of code you'll handle your mouse clicks, use the canvas for the user interface and graphics, and leverage the Web Audio API to create sound. You'll also spend a lot of time on scheduling events in time and organizing your code. This project is a great way for you to practice programming in JavaScript by creating an interactive and dynamic application right in your browser.
