The Million Musician Challenge

The Million Musician Challenge project is a unique software that combines the fun of gaming with the experience of playing music. The first game in the project is an entertaining 2D vertically scrolling shoot-em-up game that lets the player control an array of sprites corresponding to the music notes with their keyboard, whether it's qwerty or musical.

The gameplay involves shooting the falling sprites, which in turn plays notes that correspond to the music playing in the background. This means that players can learn to play music and enjoy themselves without even realizing it.

However, there are some requirements for using this software. The user needs to have JRE 5.0 installed on their computer to run the game. Additionally, four octaves are required, which means that a proper keyboard is necessary to play the newly released song, "There's Music In The Air" (think civil war era march meets Coldplay).

It's important to note that the virtual QWERTY piano runs out of keys, so having a proper keyboard is essential to fully experience the game. Overall, if you're looking for a fun way to learn music or want to combine your love of gaming with your passion for music, the Million Musician Challenge project is definitely worth a try.
