Bangkok reads chess game descriptions and re-play the games. Notice of events (moves, captures, checks, etc.) are sent to a listener. Bangkok comes with a listener that generates a MIDI file. In other words, the chess game is turned into music.
Bangkok originated as the code for an art project by Tom Peak <himself@tompeak.com>.
The Web site of Bangkok is http://bangkok.rubyforge.org. The RubyForge project page is http://rubyforge.org/projects/bangkok, where the latest version of bangkok may be downloaded. Bangkok is also available as a RubyGem.
