Welcome to thud

thud is a drum machine for UNIX, written to use the KDE libraries.

It's pretty complete. Well, the basics of it. You can write simple drum loops, record them to one track of your four-track, and play along with them, which is mostly what we wanted it for.

The engine behind it is pretty much ripped totally from ttrk, so, it's a little more powerful than it needs be. That's a good thing though. For example, thud VERY BADLY needs to have a song editing widget. All the code in the backend is there for song support, we just need to make a nice dialog. :)

So, play around with stuff. But, if you want to hack, check out ttrk first, since alot of work is done there that just needs to be ported back into thud.

Contact me, Billy, at bbiggs@div8.net for any questions or whatnot.

Installing

BEWARE! I never use 'make install', I always just cd into the thud directory and run it there. So, while it should work (I just ripped all the configure stuff off of kapptemplate), if you're just trying it out, I wouldn't bother.

Also, there should be no warnings or anything when compiling. If there are ANY warnings, please email them to me!!!!
