but it does not work on iphone / ipod? that was the goal, right?
I thought I would be possible, but basically, we can't play audio in background on iPhone Safari :/ So it's impossible to have the music playing :/

Yes, it's a good idea
But that won't home made (requires to run python scripts on server side, which is impossible with my free host). If I want to use IRC, I'll have to use mibbit or sthing like that, but the latter is closed source (ethical issue).

Some improvements :
  1. Music (converted to .ogg by hand :/ )
  2. Score
  3. Progress (time until the end)
  4. Bigger HitObjects (based on Difficulty > CircleSize)
  5. Stops refreshing when the song is finished and displays a message
Coming soon / Not yet implemented / Missing
  1. Stats at the end of the game
  2. Pause / Resume
  3. Settings (refresh rate, mute, ...)
  4. Display meta-data (artist, version, ...)
  5. HPDrain
  6. Combo multiplier
  7. Spinner
  8. Slide on slider
(underlined => the hardest to develop)

Thanks @Beldur, I took some ideas from your code ;) (mainly for points calculation on HitCircles)

Looks quite nice already.
BUT... In Opera i lags horribly. In Firefox it works smoothly, but i can't maximize my window in Firefox if i didn't have it maximized upon loading the site.

Keep it up ;)

I have a similar problem. My window always un-maximizes when I visit the website. It doesn't let me maximize either. Also, are the hitobjects suppose to be clickable?

Holidays = more time to develop :P
The un-maximize problem seems to be solved.

I added some in-game images (50-100-300 images on clic). They are loaded at the beginning so as to avoid latency ;)
Other images will come soon :) It makes the game much more nicer.
If you want to see all of them, press "i" while playing ;)

Another feature : the progress (in time). It's doesn't work in Firefox (issue with track duration (it doesn't return a number :/ ), but it works with Chrome. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT THE GAME ITSELF on firefox, you just don't know when it's done.
Another issue with firefox is time offset. Chrome is much more accurate ;)
So, Chrome is better, but Firefox also works, but isn't fully supported.

I added the cursor !
But, again, there are some issues :/
Firefox handle it the way it should, but Chrome doesn't place it the way it should (the center of the circle = the hotspot of the mouse)
And this placement issue is a real problem, as the coordinates of the mouse do not match with what that user sees, and so, you can click just besides hitobjects :/

I'm working on an addon system !
This would make my life easier to add "Special Modes" (flashlight, double time ...)
Moreover, it would help me to enhance the main menu.

On the other hand, anyone would be able to submit his own addon !
They are quite easy to make, you can ask me if you want me to extend the API :)
(addon system is coded, but not uploaded right now)

Btw, I'm back to work on sliders !

Well, I found some good ideas that help a lot :P

PS : for those interested in technical stuff :
Before, thick lines were drown for sliders
Now, I'm trying to draw the whole path "around" the slider (and that's much harder)

I had an idea about the iPhone version. That should be possible. But it would be quite an "awful" work (it would require the player to clic on a button when the music starts :/ ), cause we can't play audio in background with Safari iPhone.
If you want a version for any other device (phones), please tell me, and I'll give it a look if possible ;)
Edit : the device has to support html5's <canvas>

I'm still working on (linear) sliders (still the drawing -- there are no built-in function to draw the outline), but it looks much better. For those wondering, tests are not on osu-web right now, I'm just trying to make it work before adding it in osu-web.

peppy tried something like this in 2007. It wasn't pretty. :P You'll run into crazy math issues when you consider sharp corners and overlapping paths. Drawing a thick line for the outline, then another for the path, is probably the simplest option for now. osu! (peppysliders) does it this way.

If Canvas supports anything like max blending, palette substitution, and backbuffers, you could take an mmslider approach, but I wouldn't expect this is possible.

I'm no expert in designing games, but one method I can think of to fix this outline issue would be to create a slider using two lines of different thicknesses. Then you could place the thicker line centered underneath the thinner line, thus creating the illusion of a outline around the slider.

That's what I've been doing for a while ;)
The advantage of drawing the path around the slider is that I can use a built-in js function to know if the player clicked in the slider or not. But as it is really hard to do (and takes a lot of time to work), I think I'll just keep drawing thick lines, and check if the user clicks in the slider with some home-made stuff. Moreover, it will be very similar to how I will know where the user clicks/slides on the slider. So that way I don't bother doing 2 different tools, when 1 is enough.

In terms of gameplay, the cursor being inside/outside the slider track is irrelevant. The ball is the only thing you should be concerned with.

Just finished a function that tells me the coordinates of a point on a (linear) slider, from a given distance from the beginning of the slider.
Quite useful to draw the ballon (or at last a circle).

Still have to add it in osu-web :P

The lag is awful, I know, but I can't fix that :/ (or at least I don't think so)

On sliders, a circle is now drawn, but it's really buggy, and doesn't follow the slider the way it would, nor at the good time :/ I'll try to fix that asap ;)

Autoresizing is the most awful bug as I can't fix it, because there are no reason for such a bug (I never call the resize function).
On firefox, the only fix I have, it you to do the following : Tools > Settings > Content (3rd tab) > Javascript > Advanced > uncheck "Allow scripts to move/resize windows" (given names may not be accurate as I translated them from French)

Edit : found where the bug is located. Still dont know why it resizes the window :/

The AutoResize bug (on Firefox) seems to be fixed.
Is it the case for you ?

Fact : the bug was in the function that draws the current progress of the song (the circle at the top-right corner)

It helped, but the game still lags. I mean, it runs smoothly first 15 seconds then it lags or completely freezes. Same in Opera.

I think it's an issue with sliders (lag + freeze). I'm working on it, and it's still very buggy. Sometimes it freezes, and I know why, but it helps a lot for debugging purpose ;)

Rofl, I just got an idea: render the slider tracks serverside! :D
Cache each slider for each map, then serve them as pngs. Render them on the server using a better technology like OpenGL.

After the first three hit circles it just stops working, the browser is running fine and if I refresh it starts again and keeps going until the same part where it froze.

Does anyone know a good music (ACDC, Rolling Stones,Beatles,...), that is nice to hear over 100times a day when debugging ? (the 20first seconds need to be VERY nice, as I almost only hear them)

No, you haven't. ;) Before I was able to click on a few hit circles before the game froze, but now it freezes on the very first hit circle, when playing the game in firefox.

About the freeze, it might be a cache issue. Try to re/load the page a few times (Shift+F5). On Chrome I had to clear the cache. All this since I changed the beatmap.

of course, but a wide support is (I think) useful ;) And as I read that IE9 supports well html5, it would be a good idea to support it as, it means it should be quite easy to do.

This isn't even beta, its alpha, its kinda annoying.

I'll consider installing Opera so as to see what's going on. You say it's laggy, however Opera is said to be a very good browser. I'll do my best to reduce lag ;)

If you have any request/idea for osu-web, just say it :) I'll do my best ;)

Things I noticed:

When you click on a circle early, it's number and approach circle dissapear, and it is still clickable for points.
The sliders don't work, I see the track, then a yellow circle going on the track backwards, it ends up and the beginning of the slider when you are meant to click on the sliders.

But you can't "slide" on sliders ;) (you can for fun, but that won't change anything :P)

Edit : You can now "slide" on sliders !
Points do NOT increase when sliding. The only thing you can see is a message "win289", 289 (example) being the abscissa of where you cursor is ;)

Edit : now the circle on the slider turns green when sliding on it ;)

A small update
Edit : A big update :)

I finally managed to make spinners work. When there is a spinner, it's written spinner. If it's written is green it means you are actually drawing a circle. If it's red you're NOT drawing a circle.
It may be a bit laggy on old computers. The number of "points" (from your spin) is actually displayed in the window title. The bigger is it, the slower it is on old computers. removed

Please report bugs ;)

Edit : it IS possible to add the skin for spinners ;) it might be very slow :/ I'll see what I can do, when I have time ;) done

Edit : Small design changes :
  1. the spinner is now at the centre (so you have to spin around it)
  2. a line is drawn when you spin (yes you can make a nice stickman if you want :P) removed
Edit : spinning "skin" is on !

Edit : the cirlce, the "frame" and the "progress" bars are now used :)
(but the progress stuff is just based on the time and not your spinning)

Edit : know issue :
sometimes the game stops before the first spinner to start, that's b/c all the needed pictures are not loaded at the good time

They are already preloaded ;) But now, I don't check if everything is loaded before starting the game. I'll have to work on that part ;) Currently the only thing I do for preloading purpose it to let the script load for 5sec, but I doesn't seem to be enough :/

Edit : now 100% fullscreen (removed the menu bar)

There is a problem with your sliders, sometimes the're too slow. So sometimes you miss hit markers when following a slider.

I dont even know if reporting stuff is needed any more? Doesn't seem to be replied to.
Don't worry I'm working on that ;) The main problem is that all the pictures (needed for the spinner) are not all loaded when the game starts. And if the picture ("skin") isn't loaded, javascript actually crashes ;) That's why I'm working on a loader.
Lag is also due the vast amount of work that is required (images + big array check + drawing the whole thing + mouse move detection + ...) each 50ms (20times/sec)

Aah okay, yeah loading would be a big step forward.

As for the lag, my PC is towards the high end, a decent graphics card, processor etc, and chrome uses hardware acceleration. So to put it simple, it's not going to be smooth on 90% of PCs unless optimized, just as a heads-up

Lag is a real issue :/

The loader will allow me to extend the UI. So I'm starting to think about other stuff such as a beatmap picker and such things. The UI will be based on osu's. Here is a quick mockup

Feel free to make suggestions :)

PS : I just saw that the mockup is in french, translations
SPOILER
  1. boxes on the right stand for beatmaps
  2. bottom-right is a "share" link
  3. the button next to the link is for donations (needed for a paid server)
  4. the picker next to the button is for settings (special modes)
  5. the slider on the bottom-left is for volume
  6. 3 boxes on the left are informations about selected beatmap

Edit : THE WEBSITE MAY NOT WORK AT ALL RIGHT NOW as I'm trying to implement the loader ;)
Edit : loader is getting good :)
Edit : wow, it takes over 20sec to load all the pictures (151 pictures to be accurate)

Loader works ok on Opera and Chromium but after its loaded nothing happens. Intentional?

Well, indeed it's not 100% finished ;) I was very close to the end but I had to stop ;) I'll finish that asap ;)

Edit :
  1. for those wondering, it's normal that the loader goes "back" at the beggining of the load (ie 66% to 3%). Indeed some pages that are loaded start to load other pages (for examples, images)
  2. Now, there is a real (graphic) loader ! :)
    woks fine on Firefox 4 (latest biuld from launchpad)
  3. I'm improving the HitObjects colors. The color should now follow what's said in the .osu. Next step is to put on a gradient for design purpose :P postponed
  4. Btw, I know the music and the beatmap do not match. I also konw that there are issues when sliders are vertical ;) fixed
  5. should now start to appear in search engines (Google & co) -- done (description : "osu! for browsers.")
  6. loads but doesn't start as I'm trying to set up sth (.osu parsing client - javascript - side) fixed
  7. host is down
  8. parsing client-side is WIP done
  9. favicon added
    server side (php) less used (→ ajax) and even useless ;)
  10. HitSounds (normal + whistle) are here (both ogg and mp3)

substantial improvements have been made, but i think you need to work on fixing core gameplay issues (such as sliders and calculating their length and path properly) before making anything else really

hitsounds also need to be added as they are a pretty core part of osu

It's looking great!

I agree that sliders should be next though.

You're right ;)
Sliders are still an issue. I'm also working on HitSounds but I'm having weird issues. For now I disabled them, until a good fix is found.

The main issue I have with sliders is actually to know the way they work. For example I have *no idea* about the way their speed is calculated. As I have no idea at all, I made all of them 1.5sec long as a value is needed to display them.

It would be so cool if you could give me any detailed information about sliders speed ! (math formulas or sth like that) :)

Thanks for the informations :)

"beat": the length of a beat can be calculated from the bpm (eg. 60 beats per minute = 1000 milliseconds per beat)
One question : how do I know the bpm of the beatmap ?
I think (not sure at all) that the default value is 60bpm, and can be changed with TimingPoints (x2, x3), right ?
It's not specified in the the osu file [General] nor in the [Metadata] nor in the [Difficulty], right ?
