I give you Vuvuzela!

The application is pretty straight forward, you can start and stop the playing of the Vuvuzela sound.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, just try watching a World Cup game and you soon will understand.

Here's a preview of the application:



There's also the possibility of changing the background colours too.
I haven't implemented accelerometers because I'm not a big fan, but if there's hight demand, I can try to give it a go!

Thats all for now but I do intend on adding features along very quickly!

Here's what on my todo list:

-And a menubar with an about button....
-Give possibility to change the image of the Vuvuzela
-Maybe add more sounds?
-Add a "Pause" button?
-Definitely look into a portrait solution

Also, I take no credit for the picture or the sound, both were found on this thread.

I'll bump the thread as soon as my Maemo Extras request gets granted, in the meanwhile, let me know if there's anything you want me to add/change!

Also, it's my 1st app so be nice
All written in Python & Pyqt.

I made one with accelerometers support a while ago, you can find the .deb here:

Why would I need to? "Vuvuzela" is just the name of the South African instrument. Check Wikipedia

But if you come up with a better name, I would be more than happy to change it!

The buttons I used are the standard PyQt ones but you're right they do look quite ugly, Iwill try to look into it!

if your using the orginal sound that i posted.... maybe you shoud think about using this sound instead cause its much cleaner?

i found this on a free ringtone site so i guess theres no copyright on it...

and why change the background??? just make the background black and you can change the color for the vuvuzela...

i can make it in different colors if you want?

and thx again
The sound you provided is cleaner but also much shorter

You're not the only one asking me about being able to change the colour of the Vuvuzela. I think it's a great idea!

But I'm not very good with Photoshop/Gimp so I would gladly accept your offer to make them

I made nine colours if you want. Orange, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Black, Green, White, Red and Pink.


They are in .png format, so the backgrounds are transparent, and you can choose whatever you like. Please release this app soon, since the world cup is over soon

good job El Amir, working great.

But to annoy more people i'd love to hear the sound coming more than one vuvuzela, like youtube one.

I like it so far. Could you make an option of adding more than one Vuvuzela? Then you can make the sound overlap each other so that it would be chaos..which I think is the point of the vuvuzela. It would be a mixture of vuvuzelas all playing at the same time.
