A modular rhythm game validation tool.

• Some variables can be changed using values in joule_config.ini

Using Python 3, run joule.py with the location of the game file you wish to run checks on. A .json file will be created next to the file that is being checked.

If you are loading MIDI files, mido is required.

A second argument can be given to specify a different game to run checks for. If none is provided, the default source located in joule_data.py is assumed.

• Example: joule.py D:\RockBandJunk\song.mid rb3

Alternatively, you can import the function joule_run and provide both arguments.

• Example: joule_run("D:\RockBandJunk\song.mid", "rb3")

• Mido is not required when using Joule inside of REAPER.

REAPER must have Python 3 enabled for use in ReaScripts.

Once Python is enabled, all you need to do is run joule.py as a ReaScript in REAPER.

The default game source located in joule_data.py or joule_config.ini is used.
