Now the music analysis is done, I can listen to some music while I'm coding. It's really hard for me to keep motivation and momentum without music.
My music of choice when 'in the zone' coding, is metal - Devildriver, Machine Head and Slayer are current favorites on my playlist.
Do you have any musical preferences when coding or working? Comments welcome.

Hey, I found this site from the shmups.system11.com forum. (don't have an account there, just rereading the 'developer mistakes' list)
I prefer listening to classical/contemporary classical scores while coding. I have a bunch of stations on Pandora dedicated to some of my favorite composers: John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Bach, Jon Schmidt, Frederic Chopin, Beethoven (obviously), because it helps me focus and get in the "zone".
Are you working on a game?
I also listen to movie scores from time to time. I have quite a few by Danny Elfman that are good for coding.
When I think of Hans Zimmer I always think of the music from True Romance.
Yes: I'm entering the Ohio State Fair competition in the Senior computers category. I'm writing the game in Python 3 using Pygame.
I recently decided to put my original idea on hold in order to make a shmup, because I've got less than a month to develop :(.
Good luck. Hope you do well.
Just make sure you make it playable as soon as possible, then add incrementally. That way, if you run out of time you won't be left with a broken game.
