How does Beat Saber work?

Question

Game development

Good day
I have such a question
In the game Beat Saber, as you know, everything is done in rhythm
. So, are the flying blocks placed by a person or a computer?

Answer 1

Of course a person.
This is an ordinary rhythm game that, along with Pump-It-Up and Dance-Dance-Revolution, may well find its niche among professional rhythm games.
Arrows or blocks set to music are called a chart (or a stepchart in the case of a pump/ddr).
In some situations, an editor can even be built into the game to create custom charts. And in the case of open-source rhythm games, you can add your own tracks.
PS This does not exclude the possibility that you can certainly write a program that will arrange the blocks itself. But the quality of such charts does not include a creative moment, the creation of combinations emphasizing the rhythm composition, in addition there is also the concept of physiological comfort, when it is meant to "brush" this chart - it must be compatible with human movements. At a simple level, this is not so critical, but at complex levels it is necessary.
