DDR stands for 'Dance Dance Revolution,' one of the games in Konami's Bemani series. To play DDR, you typically dance on a platform or mat, timing your steps to match arrows scrolling up the screen to the beat of the music that plays. pyDDR supports the basics of the game, along with 'sudden' arrows and other additional features. There is a convertor available to change MSD and DWI [two Windows DDR clones] stepfiles into pyDDR's native STEP format. | pyDDR 0.4.9 | new | pydance |
