Learning by playing - thatโ€™s what our faculty members at NUS Computing wanted to achieve with this fun, music contest for students!

Game of Tones is run on the Source Academy, an immersive, online virtual environment where Computing freshmen learn programming skills as part of the CS1101S Programming Methodology module.

Game of Tones challenges students to be creative and to flex their programming muscles by using programming to generate sounds or music, elegantly and concisely. This could be replicating a favourite song with programming, or composing an entirely new song. At the end of the contest, students get to vote for the best programmed songs, and generally just have fun at an online โ€˜music partyโ€™! ๐Ÿฅณ
