Audio Reverse Game

Also, feel free to play around with the Audio Reverse Demo. Here's a video explaining it from when we did it back in spring 2021

Notes

  • Audio is commonly sampled at 44100 hz, or samples per second. In other words, the computer (via an "analog to digital converter") measures the position of the microphone fiber 44100 times per second, and this gets stored as a 1D array in the computer.
