User:Mirjam Dissel/clappingmusic in c

This is still a work in process, but I decided to post it anyways. I used the 'while (repeat <12)' at first and then changed the whole code. Now I'm figuring out why adding/taking away this 'repeat' part doesn't make any difference to the pattern outcome.

Ok, so this is the clappingmusic.c file, made in gedit:

#include "stdio.h"
#include "string.h"

int shift = 0;
int i = 0;
int i2 = 0;

char *pat = "xxx xx x xx ";
int patlen = 0;
int repeat = 0;

int main (){
	patlen = strlen(pat);


/*next line seems to do nothing, use debugger!*/
	while (repeat < 12){
        while (shift < patlen){
        i = 0;
        printf("--------------------------%d\n", shift+1);
	        while (i < patlen){	
                i2 = i+shift;
                if (i2 >= 12){i2 = i2-12;}	
		        printf("%c %c\n", pat[i], pat[i2]);
		        i++;
	        }
            shift++;
        }
/*next line seems to do nothing, use debugger!*/
        repeat++;    
    }        

}

compile it in terminal with:

gcc -g clappingmusic.c -o clappingmusic

If you need to debug at this point, use:

ddd clappingmusic

Then execute via:

./clappingmusic
