History

SuperNoogie Tracker was a project I began in the summer of 2000. My dad had bought a new computer, but it had some lame onboard soundcard and I couldn't run FastTracker 2. I downloaded some windows trackers (OctaMed, ModPlug) but, although more powerful that FT2, they had really flimsy windows interfaces and I couldn't get into them. Also around this time I started learning some DirectX programming. After I had learnt the basics of DirectDraw and DirectSound it dawned on me that I could right my own tracker - One which had a good ol' DOS style fullscreen chunky interface. And so SNT was born. It was a slightly over-ambitious project, as I had never done any sound programming before - I am having to learn as I go - so don't expect too much too soon!

Status

Currently SNT is in the middle of a big rewrite. This was necessary for two reasons: I had designed at the keyboard and the code was getting seriously messy, and the target platform is now linux rather than win32. I have only had time to work on it on and off over these past two years due to university.

This is the screen shot from my final win32 version (before the porting/rewriting begun), playing back the intro song from pinball illusions (I think - it's one of Digital Illusions's pinball games at least). Click it to make it bigger.
