Alternate Tribes



Full version.

Here's an alternate version of the Tribes piece. Different music, the tribe members now smile as they play louder, and an issue was fixed where if you grabbed a tribe member when it was in the center, it was possible to have him get "stuck" on your cursor. This was due to the fact that a shrinking tribe member could potentially get away from your mouse cursor. No contact with the cursor means no mouse release!

On a side note, I'm more than happy to make more alternate versions if people have suggestions or want to submit 8-16 track compositions (in .wav format if you please).

    Nice! :)

    You can quickly fix that mouse release thing by always listening to the stage for the release event rather than the actual "tribe member".

    Also, it seems like the movements are completely random, but if you are up for a challenge, you can try to avoid "dead silence", and make the tribe members tend to drift more toward the circle more than not, perhaps making sure that there is always at least one person in the circle.

    Good suggestions! I got around the release by setting the centerLock of the tribe members to true. But I do have to agree that listening to the stage is probably the better option (and will probably prepare for any other odd release behaviors/errors that may occur).

    I just may have a "selected" tribe member drift to the center in the even of dead silence...good suggestion!
