Eyestabs is an experimental game using pitch detection as input. For pyweek 7.

Eye stabs
===============

<SCARY DARK SILLY VOICE OVER VOICE>
In the dirty underground music scene often referred to as 'eye stabs', 
there are lethal gigs in select nightclubs around the world. 
Musicians play for eyes. A tune is played to the musician, 
and they must figure out the notes played.

Fuck up the tune, and you are stabbed in the eye! Get the tune right, 
then fortune and respect are yours! Better than the riches and the 
adoration though -- rich club owners can give you spare eyes... 
and provide doctors that can give you back eyes you have had stabbed out.

So are you prepared to put your eyes on the line? Can you play well 
enough to avoid a stab in the eye? Do you trust the sleazy club owners 
doctors to fix your eye if it does get stabbed?

                [~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~]
Pitch detection with your microphone is used to work out the notes you play.

Play your guitar, and it will know what notes you are playing.

You can also play with just your computer keyboard if you like.

Or just rock out to the intro.
