KRIS-JANGLE

Kris Jangle is a Christmas game for the M-VAVE FM-1. It plays the start of a carol — Jingle Bells, Deck the Halls, Ding Dong Merrily on High, or O Christmas Tree — and you replay it on the keys, on piano (or the selected sound) throughout. It plays in a winter dusk — a deep blue sky fading to peach, the first stars, firs of different sizes on the ridge — in a chunky pixel face. The title screen is laid out in bordered boxes picking the play mode and the carol, the LISTEN and YOUR TURN stats sit in boxed grids, and on the sound pages and during YOUR TURN holding a key pops a large note modal with its name and MIDI number. The song builds as you level up, three notes at a time, until level 11 is the whole song. Three misses sends you to Grump Mode, where the Grump jeers at you — finish a whole song and it offers you the next one. For grown-ups, the sound page hides a music staff: turn SELECT and a treble staff writes the notes the demo plays and you play, with their real values — sharps, ledger lines, bar lines — in black ink on the dusk, a miss in deep crimson — off by default. It speaks to a screen reader, keeps your best scores, and runs in the browser emulator before you flash it.

This is version 0.11. You install it at your own risk, and the installer can put M-VAVE's own firmware back.

• Try it in the browser. Play it right here, with sound. It runs the same code as the FM-1, so you don't need one.
• Install it from Chrome or Edge, with the FM-1 connected by USB.
• Your badge. LFO on the FM-1 shows a QR code: scan it with your phone and the page shows the badge for the level you cleared, keeps the badges you earn on a tree, and can share one.
• The Manual explains the screen, the controls and saving.
• Download kris-jangle-0.11.fwsc to use the command-line installer: python3 tools/fm1_install.py kris-jangle-0.11.fwsc.
• The Source is under MPL-2.0. It's built on fm1-base and felucca-bsp, which come from Felucca by Leo Kuroshita, Hügelton Instruments.
