unitracker-player

The generic player of canonical unitracker documents, and their builder into standalone PSID .sid files. It reads a document with the grammar of unitracker-grammar and plays it to the state of the 25 SID registers ($D400-$D418) at the end of each tick. It knows only the document: its instruments, programs, expressions, phrases and timeline, and the note table F(k) at its clock.

Install

pip install "unitracker-player @ git+https://github.com/anarkiwi/unitracker-player"

Use

from unitracker_player import load, play, Player

frames = play(text)               # np.uint8 array (ticks, 25), to the end of an ending song
frames = play(text, ticks=3000)   # a looping song needs ticks
song = load(text)                 # parse and compile once; play(song, ...) reuses it
player = Player(song)
regs = player.step()              # the 25 registers after one tick; None once the song ends
player.regs                       # the register file the last tick wrote, one store per register

read(text) returns the document as plain dataclasses. A text outside the grammar raises unitracker_grammar.CanonicalError; a document the player refuses raises PlayError.

unitracker-play song.yaml --ticks 3000 --out frames.npz   # array "frames"
unitracker-play song.yaml --out frames.csv                # one row per tick, d400..d418
unitracker-play song.yaml                                 # CSV to stdout
unitracker-sid song.yaml                         # song.sid
unitracker-sid song.yaml --out x.sid --ticks 3000 --load 0x2000

unitracker-sid renders the song here, proves where a looping song repeats, and assembles a 6502 playroutine (llvm-mos, locally or in the docker-mos-llvm-sdk image) whose raster IRQ plays the same registers tick for tick.
