README
**Cacophony is a minimalist and ergonomic MIDI sequencer.** It's minimalist in that it doesn't have a lot of functionality MIDI sequencers have. It's ergonomic in that there is no mouse input and a very clean interface, allowing you to juggle less inputs and avoid awkward mouse motions.
[Buy Cacophony](https://subalterngames.itch.io/cacophony) (or compile it yourself).

## How to compile
I compile Cacophony with Rust 1.74.0 for Linux, MacOS, or Windows. Below is a list of operating systems I've tested:
Linux:
- Ubuntu 18.04 i386 with X11
- Ubuntu 18.04 x64 with X11
- Ubuntu 20.04 x64 with X11
- Ubuntu 22.04 x64 with X11
- Ubuntu 24.04 x64 with X11
MacOS:
- Catalina 10.15.7 x64
- Ventura 13.2.1 Apple Silicon
Windows:
- Windows 10 x64
### All platforms
1. Install Rust (stable)
2. Clone this repo
### Linux
#### Debian 11
1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev librust-alsa-sys-dev`
2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`
#### Debian 12
1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev librust-alsa-sys-dev`
2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11`
#### Ubuntu 18
1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa`
2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`
#### Ubuntu 20
1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa librust-alsa-sys-dev`
2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_9`
#### Ubuntu 22 and 24
1. `apt install clang cmake speech-dispatcher libspeechd-dev pkg-config libssl-dev alsa librust-alsa-sys-dev`
2. `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11`
### MacOS
1. `cargo install cargo-bundle`
2. `cargo bundle --release`
### Windows
1. `cargo build --release`
## Set the `data` directory
Cacophony's default data directory is located at `../data`. To set the default data directory at *compile time*, set the `CACOPHONY_BUILD_DATA_DIR` enviroment variable:
```bash
export CACOPHONY_BUILD_DATA_DIR=/usr/share/cacophony
cargo build --release
```
## Tests
To test, just `cargo test --all`.
Sometimes when debugging, it's useful to create the same initial setup every time. To do this, you can pass input events in like this: `cargo run -- --events events.txt`
...where the contents of `events.txt` is something like:
```
NextPanel
AddTrack
EnableSoundFontPanel
SelectFile
```
## How to run
You can run Cacophony like any other application or you can use Rust's `cargo run` to compile and execute.
### Linux
There are two ways to run Cacophony:
1. Copy + paste `data/` into the output directory (`target/release/`). Open a terminal in `release/` and run `./Cacophony` .
2. Instead of `cargo build --release`, run `cargo run --release` Include the `--features` listed above, for example `cargo build --release --features speech_dispatcher_0_11` on Ubuntu 22
### MacOS
There are two ways to run Cacophony:
1. After compiling, double-click `Cacophony.app` (located in `./target/release/`)
2. `cargo run --release` This will compile and launch the application but it won't create a .app
### Windows
There are two ways to run Cacophony:
1. Copy + paste `data/` into the output directory (`target/release/`) and double-click `Cacophony.exe` (located in `release/`)
2. Instead of `cargo build --release`, run `cargo run --release`
## Upload
Assuming that you are Esther Alter and you have the relevant credentials on your computer, you can upload the website and create itch.io builds by doing this:
1. `cd py`
2. `py -3 build.py`
