# Neothesia

Neothesia is a cross-platform MIDI visualizer, build completely in Rust.

It helps people to quickly learn how to play piano.

It takes music notes from a MIDI file as an input and displays them as colorful falling blocks on a virtual piano.

Opensource Synthesia was abandoned in favour of [closed source commercial project](https://www.synthesiagame.com/)  

Goal of this project is to bring back Opensource Synthesia to live, and make it look and work as good (or even better) than commercial Synthesia.

## Video encoding

- For Linux and Windows you can download neothesia-cli / recorder build from releasses

- For macOS

    - To encode video you need to install [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)

    - You also need to install [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)

    - And compile the `neothesia-cli`, like so `cargo build --release -p neothesia-cli` (if you have make: `make build-recorder`)

    - It will compile `neothesia-cli`, from now on it is used as a cmomand line tool

- To encode a `test.mid` file run `./target/release/neothesia-cli ./test.mid`

- Video will be outputted to `./out` directory`
