RGB Guitar - Pre-Alpha Development

Hello everyone, I am programming a musical game similar to Guitar Hero and Frets on Fire. This game is incomplete but I am releasing the source code under the GNU GPL for development purposes. The goal is simple, to have a completely free and open source musical game that requires minimal system requirements.  What I have created is a game that runs in Mozilla Firefox and uses the <video> tag to play an animation sequence.  JavaScript code checks to see if notes were pressed at the right time, in order to adjust the score. The basic idea is this: IF time is 3000 milliseconds(for example) AND key pressed is "1" (for example) THEN add one to score.  I have created this for about the first 20 seconds of the game. To download, go to http://code.google.com/p/rgb-guitar/ , download the Tarball, extract it and open "rgb_guitar_pre_alpha.html" in Mozilla Firefox. Internet Explorer won't be able to play the video. Tell me what you think. Feel free to comment or send me an email at diy4783@gmail.com.

This game was developed under Linux.
