playing wav files for sound effects using C?

[dragula96]

i can play background music via

MP3_Init(1);
MP3_Load("mySong.mp3");
MP3_Play();

but how do i make sound effects like for punching and stuff for my game?

i am starting to code in C but cant find any info on it.
i am trying to play a sound everytime i hit 'X' for example.

thanks in advance.

Give ol' OSLIB a try, its very, very useful, if your using Graphics.c/h then i would suggested switching to OSLIB, its much more awesome, and its made of pure win. I guarantee it.

BlachShark - You succeeded in doing everything but answering his question... Good job! </sarcasm>

dragula - libmikmod (or mikmodlib, can't remember which one is the most recent in the SVN >.<) is a module player and library supporting many formats.

Oh, GG.
that makes sence for beginners,

@Dracula,
OSLIB will allow you to load and play wave files easily. 'Tis why i suggested it.

Ok so... judging from what you said, recommending an advanced, fairly complex graphics library to a beginner over the straightforward graphics.c/h makes sense?

Rather then suggesting to completely redesign the graphics portion of his game just to implement sound playback, just do what he asks and give him a library for implementing sounds, nothing more and nothing less. No going back and changing, just adding.

...Shouldn't you be going to bed?


(and complex? common' its much easier to use than Graphics.whatever)

well i tried mikmodlib for about 2 hours, couldent get it to work, at first it would freez my slim when i tried to play the sound, then i re-write the code and then the memory stick indicator LED would just keep blinking endlessly

enyway looks like OSlib did the job, i just used the audio part of it.

oh by the way, has anyone used Jes game engine? is it good?

I don't know why you'd worry about Mikmod for wav files when it can only use
samples of **** quality anyway.
Indeed it's a good mod player, but I wouldn't use it in a game for sound effects.
That DTMF dial app, and Road Dog both have source released,
and clearly show an easy way to play CD quality samples, but looks like you got it sorted.

[Slasher]

Where can I get either of your apps sources?
I'm interested in switching from mikmod

DTMF Dial is probably the simplest:
http://dl.qj.net/DTMF-Dial-v3-source...5954/catid/203
since it doesn't have any of the other source to string samples together.
You could probably find the other on QL downloads as well, it's at least posted
in one of the release threads.
