My senior project in college was "Trombone Hero", which was a game based on guitar hero. I had an old trombone, and I took apart a cheap gamepad and put the sensors along a custom PVC pipe slide at positions 1 - 7. There was then a button attached to it that you would press for "blowing".

I then made a little tool that would play music and record inputs to generate the "levels". I used some Beatles songs I had on a CD, and then recorded each note individually on a real trombone to superimpose on the song.

I made the game engine with some Java graphics library that I don't remember. I was really proud of this when I made it, and is always a fun story to tell.

I found an old video from ~2012 when I demoed it to the class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rawTtdv50s
