AGameAWeek Blog - 2024-06-11 - Jukebox Rejig

I spent most of yesterday doing a complete and total rewrite of the Jukebox script. [verse] As I was faffing about with thumbnails, and uploading new webp album art for all of the Albums on the site, I ended up tweaking a bit of the jukebox script to optimise the way that it worked. [bridge] And then found myself wondering whether I could optimise it more. And then screaming at the spaghetti code. And then rewriting the entire thing from scratch. [chorus] The new Jukebox script is a lot less chaotic, and has a nice new right-hand panel where it can display lyrics, or other notes that some tracks have, which is nice. [verse] Over on the left is a lovely new scrolling album-art list, which I will have to admit, is 100% coded by ChatGPT! It did a fine job, and it scrolls smoothly and neatly to the chosen album, too. [verse] At the top of the right-hand panel is a link directly to the currently playing track so you can easily share your favourite tracks with others. [bridge] Disclaimer The Previous and Next track buttons don't currently work. I completely forgot to do those, somehow! Whoops!! I'll fix that later. [chorus] You can Play with the new Jukebox here.
