From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

(Since my developing skills are near zero, so eh....)

Basically, a music player that converts (any sort of tune) into a chiptune (in real-time?) and plays it. Various sound sets can be chosen -- from 8 bit ones, to 16 bit... super mario (snes) sound set, etc. Bonus points if its CLI, made using c++ code.

Now. That said, if you just want to map input MIDI's or some other raw format describing the actual tones (not just an audio waveform)- that would be doable with a little table lookups.

Honestly... what I had in mind was a modern song (with vocals, etc) being converted in real-time through a "winamp-esque" music player (think: "Open file", then after the song is chosen, "Converting to chiptune, please wait..." then the song is played.). But since this is a stupidly difficult task... then sure, I'm okay with a "standard" midi-to-chiptune converter.
