Frets on Fire

Frets on Fire is similar to games like Guitar Hero, as seen in Figure 8.7. Players try to keep up with a song and “play” it correctly. It supports songs from Guitar Hero I and II and, unlike these proprietary games, is expandable by the community, as well, with more songs available for download from the Internet. The game is completely open source and has content-compatible versions for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
