Show HN: I wrote a partial re-implementation of DirectMusic

DirectMusic[1] is a deprecated Windows API for playing dynamic music scores authored using DirectMusic Producer[2]. It was originally released as part of DirectX in 1999 and discontinued with the release in Windows Vista around 2009-ish. Due to my involvement with projects[3] re-implementing an old game engine for the early 2000's games Gothic and Gothic II[4], I came to notice that existing solutions[5] were incorrect and hard to use. Thus, I was tasked with writing a new, correct re-implementation of the API. Today, my re-implementation is able to (mostly) play back so-called style-based segments[6] and is fully tested against both the Gothic and Gothic II soundtracks. I am actively working on getting the Lego Island 2 soundtrack working as well. There are many features of DirectMusic which the library does not currently support, simply

The development has come to a (temporary?) halt right now, the bs::framework we were using encountered some issues right after we adopted it... Hopefully we'll be able to resume some time in the future! In the meantime, https://github.com/Try/OpenGothic is more feature-rich. (Disclaimer: I worked on the project but I am not the maintainer nor am I any kind of leader figure in the dev team)
