[scream-devel] List test / summer goals

[Ryan Curtin]

Hey Chad,

We ought to establish goals for the s.c.r.e.a.m. to be completed by the
end of the summer.  Even if I'm the only person who has time to work on
it, we should still collaborate about where we should be headed.

I think, as it stood at the end of the spring, we should push towards:

- Smarter and better instruments
- A more complex brain

I don't know what is to be done on the synthesizer end, though.  I know
you had a lot of plans for improvement but I do not know what they were.
If you want to elaborate, go ahead.

I think I will put a lot of work into the fgs_acoustic_guitar that I had
been working on right before presentation time, so that it actually
sounds like it's supposed to.  I fed it tabs for each chord in this
form:

static const uint32_t chord_frets[] = {
   0x00002220, /* A */
   0x00002210, /* Am */
   0x00002224, /* Ama7 */
   0x00002223, /* A7 */
   0x00001312, /* A9 */
   0x00002010, /* Am7 */
   0x00003223, /* Adim */
   0x00001223, /* Adim7 */
   ...
}

The first byte is unused and each number signifies where each "finger"
goes.  I think they're all backwards though.  But now, there's a guitar
here I can verify that with.

Also, I want to discuss organization of the repositories: what should go
and what should stay now that we're not under the wings of ECE4884?

Hooray SVN and mailman!
