I’ve just uploaded Auralquiz 0.8.1, a bugfix release.
Changes since v0.8:
– Fixed compilation for GCC 4.7 (fixes this Debian bug). Thanks to Dean Evans for letting me know.
– Added French translation, thanks to ntome.
– Added Italian translation, thanks to Giovanni.
As always, you can get it from Qt-apps, here:

If you have the development version, you already have these fixes applied.

Changes since v0.6 include:
– Translation files are included in the binary as resources and loaded correctly.
– Metadata analysis is faster, performed using TagLib, which is a new dependency.
– Sound control now relies on Phonon States, works better with all backends.
– Hardcore difficulty level now uses the “Type-the-answer” mode.
– “Reload music” button, to use when there are new files or some have been moved/deleted.
– Several visual changes.

Just a little over 10 days after v0.5, here comes Auralquiz 0.6!
A bug was discovered in 0.5 which caused a crash during analysis of the music files in the user’s folders, if there were many files without valid metadata (no artist and/or title fields).
This has been fixed, among other things, and also a few small improvements.

After selecting “Start game”, the main game options appear: difficulty level, amount of questions, amount of players, and their names.

As always get it here:

And as always, feedback is welcome!
*UPDATE: Packages for Mandriva available here, thanks to Symbianflo.

Time for a new project. This time it’s a simple game, a music quiz.
This is the temporary initial screen. The current logo is basically a ripoff of one of the mime-type Oxygen icons, by Nuno Pinheiro and the Oxygen team.
Actually, I haven’t asked yet if this is OK, but I guess it will be 🙂

The idea behind the game is not new, but what I’ve seen available for GNU/Linux is either old, GTK-based, or just an Amarok script.
The game plays short pieces of music files from the player’s folders, and presents a question and several answers about the current song. The fastest the answer, the more points the player receives.
Auralquiz will be a full application, and hopefully, with several game modes, multiplayer mode, etc. It is based on Qt and Phonon.
As with my other projects, you can get the source at Gitorious: http://gitorious.org/auralquiz
