I'm glad you realized you can record over recorded tapes on a real tape player. will it have the proper punch in sound? when I used to do it you could get it just right where you could have multi instances of your voices punching in at the same time if you tried hard enough. Will it get the proper fade out? Also you could be awesome and make it possible to wire a second head on it and feed it back into itself and make tape delay? Then you're probably not going for reel to reel were you. And can you truly protect a tape? Nothing stops my tape player from playing my tapes unless I tamper with it myself and render playback useless. Just saying, if you're gonna make a simulator, put in a bit of realism. Is there a little counter you can reset that says how many seconds the tape has been on?

The original plan was to make the siulator with one deck, like a Walkman sort.
@audiogame: There's a way, actually. On the tape itself there's a little area you break off when tapes are finished. If the person breaks off this tab on the tape, the tape loses its recording ability. I'm not sure if that was how it was back then, but that's usually the method I've heard is common, especially for audiobooks and that sort.
Keep in mind peeps, Ty and I are only going with the basic mechanics Of the siulator. If we change something too much it can have an effect on what it should be siulating. A boombox? Walkman?
I see the whole thing about recording over a tape from the tapes folder, but I'm a slight bit thrown off on the whole deck wire thing. Sure, the punch-in, the fading, that's simple enough, but it all sounds k"d of... I don't know, like the simulator should actually be a cassette player and recorder. In a way, I can see the fact of having to get the slight mistakes right, like I thought the  punch-in idea seemed pretty cool. But major things like deck wire, etc, are way beyond me. I'll need some help translating that into simplerEngish Ty and I can understand. We didn't live in the 90s or 80s, so this is where you guys come in.

Version 1.2 is now available, however it is optional. The reason is because all it is is minor improvements under the hood (aka, not noticeable). The only minor change you will notice is some of the wording, like new tapes is now called blank tapes.
If you encounter any bugs, let Ty or I know, we had to patch a stop bug with the player crashing once you hit ENTER on the stop button, but if you are still experiencing it, just let us know what happens.

hi
thats cool! thanks

@60: I actually never considered that! That sounds like a great idea. We'd just have to make a file extension for our language files, like lng or lg. We'll see though..

E-mail your possible translations to [email protected], or [email protected], and we'll see what we can do.

I currently have no ideas for this project, and Tunmi is taking a break from coding to focus on his health. If you request features I can try and add them, but I won't be able to upload them to the FTP server.

@66
I'll have to look into that, thanks.

Hi everyone
So it's been mainly me working on this version of SimuTapes, and as such, there hasn't been work done very fast, as I'm not really into BGT much anymore. However, I thought I'd throw what I have out there.
The file isn't on tunmi's ftp yet, but here's a dropbox link

SimuTapes 1.3!

Enjoy, and feel free to report bugs or leave feedback!

This is interesting.

I personally do and I already ported IP to python but now tunmi isn't really able to help because he won't learn python. Dammit tunmi
