DDRVRML

This is an autonomous dancer given prompts for a step sequence from Dance Dance Revolution, will figure out what steps it should take given a current foot configuration. Still needs some logic tweaking and look ahead, but it still does fairly well given its current logic. I trick the Cosmo player into playing mp3s just by renaming them to wavs, thus you need the mp3 codec in your windows multimedia layer.

You may need a pretty high end system. This was mostly tested on IE 6 + Win2K + GeForce + 933 MHz and I know it works on the beefier ACCAD machines, the ones with the GeForce 3 and dual processors- its pretty choppy on some of the ACCAD systems.

Things I would still like to add, in no particular order:

move the center of the dancer (no more zero g dancing)
fix the gap on some songs (you're not following the music)
the announcer (have you had breakfast this morning?)
fix it so the "light" doesn't block the play button (oops)
fix the model rotation so it rotates properly, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (huh?)
drop down menu to pick the models and song in vrml (combobox in vrml)
maniac mode for others (i was just too lazy to copy the dwi for the maniac on some songs)
motion in the upper body (riverdance dance revolution)
java for computation and dwi parsing (noise is expensive!)
better logic, and look ahead to prep on non step sections, or possibly use some learning code in conjunction with look ahead (no dummy, you start on the right foot!)
more visualizations, ala winamp; one i wanted to make was a logo turtle that turned according to the steps (ooh, pretty)
motion capture, if not that IK; just better motion in general (doomo arigatoo mr roboto)
code cleanup to make the model completely h-anim compliant (DEFs are not compliant)
16th notes, triplets, and freezes (cool)
freestyling, turning, knee-drops, handstands, flips, etc. (more cool)
doubles, unison, versus (too much stuff to do!)
