CC2 - Semester 3 - Week 1

We are to get into programming; as far as I know the main software with which we would deal a lot is Max MSP.
As an introduction to the whole programming environment, we were told of Pseudocode. The university of North Florida describes it as "an artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms... a "text-based" detail (algorithmic) design tool "(I tried my best not to consider Wikipedia as a source).
Our task for this week is pretty simple: we should write a pseudocode program that continuously
maps and converts the different components of a drum kit into different respective notes
of the major D scale. After the conversion the program should then play the notes on a
musical device until 20 notes are heard.
This is what I came up with:
