3D MP3 Player

This is a skinnable 3D MP3 player. The back-end engine is a bit primitive and limited, so I am hoping that any interested parties would contact me soon.

Those who like to dabble more can check out the skinning kit. Those who do not can simply download the skins here. Here are the steps:

  • You will need the updated version of the player (as of 25th March 2003).
  • Open up a DOS window (or Command Prompt) and type things like "player dopi", "player dopi dopi-rusted".
  • If you detest commandline, you can instead create a desktop shortcut for the player, then open up explorer and drag-and-drop the skins onto the player shortcut.

I know this sucks but I'll probably work something out if there are enough complains.

last update: 9th April 2003

This skinning kit contains tools and instructions on how to modify the look and feel of a Blackbox app, with the player as an example. For more skins, go here.

(The Full version contains ifl0.dll and core.bbx, the run-time files needed)

nez.bbx (201 KB)

This is a skin included in the skinning kit. It is essentially the same 3D model as the player, but with some modifications, such as the back-lit screen, and the responsive buttons.

nez-rusted.bbx (167 KB)

This is a texture skin package for use with the nez skin. This is included in the skinning kit.

dopi.bbx (116 KB) Cool, eh?
dopi-rusted.bbx (130 KB) A rusted theme for the dopi skin.
teapot.bbx (160 KB)

This should not be a stranger to graphics programmers. There is only a play button - see if you can find where it is.

(fyi, sorry but the bottom has to be closed)

teapot-rusted.bbx (165 KB)

A rusted theme for the teapot skin.

chaser.bbx

For fans of the chaser, now you can have a desktop pet that plays music.

This is to show that skinning need not be constrained to static shells with buttons attached. The possibilities are endless.

player.exe

A 3D MP3 player.

Yes, this is a totally cool, functional, no-frills, proof-of-concept-only 3D MP3 player. 'nuff said.

Note: the player does not come with any MP3s. You will have to create a file called "mp3list.txt" and put in the fully-pathed names of the MP3s you want the player to play (eg. f:\stash\mp3\sample.mp3)
