ByteBeat Library for RimWorld
A mod that provides ByteBeat algorithmic music generation capabilities for modders.
This mod is a LIBRARY that provides:
• ByteBeat audio processing engine
• Bytebeat expression compiler for audio generation
• Real time audio playback system
• ByteBeat composer UI window
• Pattern library with example compositions
• Multiple audio modes (Bytebeat, Signed Bytebeat, Floatbeat, Funcbeat)

Bytebeat music (or one-liner music) was invented in September 2011. They're generally a piece of rhythmic and somewhat melodic music with no score, no instruments, and no real oscillators. It's simply a single-line formula that defines a waveform as a function of time, processed (usually) 8000 times per second, resulting in an audible waveform with a 256-step resolution from silence (0) to full amplitude (256). If you put that formula into a program with a loop that increments time variable (t), you can generate the headerless unsigned 8 bit mono 8kHz audio stream on output, like in this application. Since these directly output a waveform, they have great performance in compiled languages and can often be ran on even the weakest embedded devices.
Features:
Bytebeat

Floatbeat
Funcbeat
Variables
String Indexing
Mathematical functions
Scientific notation
Ternary Operators
Adjustable sample rates
Controls for playback speed and volume
Pattern selection and library
Waveform visualization

Real time audio playback
For modders:
1. Reference the DLL: Add ByteBeatLib.dll to your mod's Assemblies folder and reference it in your project
2. Extend patterns library: Add custom patterns to the library or dynamically inject them using Harmony patches
3. Trigger Music: Use Harmony or rimworld's event system to play bytebeat music at specified moments (like after finished research, raid start, crafting something etc)
UI is OPTIONABLE. Bytebeat can work in the background
